If your Farmington home experiences fire damage like our vehicle in this burn demonstration, Call SERVPRO.

SERVPRO is Available to Farmington Residents for Fire Damage Assistance

Fires are incredibly destructive, and once they break loose, they can indiscriminately ravage any Farmington property – commercial or residential. Once a fire occurs and everyone is safe, the best thing to do is contact a skilled team to handle the fire restoration and cleanup process. SERVPRO is there 24-hours a day with certified fire and smoke restoration technicians to begin helping you pick up the pieces from such a traumatic event.

If you wonder how fire damage in Farmington gets addressed, SERVPRO works to tailor a plan to your unique needs. No two fire restoration projects are the same, but we do follow some of the same guidelines along the way, including:

Assessment and Inspection

After our crew arrives at your property and first responders give the green light for entry, we inspect and assess all fire damage. This allows us to select the correct number and types of equipment to help us achieve our restoration goals. The inspection usually involves:

• Safety hazard identification
• Possible issues with structural elements
• All surfaces and materials damaged by fire
• Contents inspection
• The type of soot/soilings present
• How much water damage is present from first responders extinguishing the flames

Securing Your Property / Debris removal

Once the project scope gets formulated, we secure your property with board-up and tarping services. Covering the roof, walls, windows, and doors that are missing or damaged helps keep vermin out, thwart vandals, and ensures that your interior does not take on further damage from the elements.

Our team also handles debris removal, including unsalvageable building materials and charred contents. Everything gets safely disposed of according to local guidelines.

Secondary Damage Prevention

Mold growth and corrosion are two factors that need careful consideration after a fire incident in your home. The potential for bacteria and black mold is why water must get removed and the interior dried. When it comes to corrosion, there is potential for discoloration on walls and other surfaces, pitting, and etching on some items due to the corrosive nature of soot and smoke residue. 

Detailed Cleaning

House fire cleanup is always best with the help of skilled professionals that understand best practices for ensuring safe, effective results. SERVPRO’s technicians have access to EPA-registered cleaning agents and a broad range of specialized techniques that allow us to restore versus replace whenever possible. This saves your cherished belongings and saves you money on your restoration project. 

Odor Control is Paramount with any Fire-related Project

We have an entire team of IICRC-certified technicians on our team, including trusted and knowledgeable Odor Control Technicians (OCT). Our crew understands all the latest techniques and processes for handling pungent smoke and soot odors. We never use anything that masks odors. Instead, we work diligently to ensure odorous particulates get eliminated so there is no lingering reminder of the blaze. Some of the scent battling weapons in our arsenal include:

• Odor counteractant beads or granules
• Thermal fogging equipment
• Ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers
• Air scrubbers with onboard HEPA filtration
• Hydroxyl generators
• Ozone technology
