SERVPRO® Provides Fire Damage Removal and Restoration in Denville
Even minor fires can result in significant damage in Denville homes. The fire may have scorched and burned both contents and structural material. The smoke and smoke residues often penetrate all areas of the home, carried by natural air currents and HVAC systems. The Fire Department uses a combination of water and fire retardant chemicals to control and extinguish the fire.
Before SERVPRO can begin restoration of your fire-damaged home in Denville, several steps must be followed to ensure everyone’s safety and mitigate secondary damage caused by the water, fire retardant chemicals, and smoke residues.
Once the fire department has provided the all-clear signal, we inspect and check all rooms to assess safety issues and evaluate the extent of the damage to the immediate area of the fire and the remainder of the home. A plan is developed that includes:
- Removal of fire damaged contents and structures
- Protection of the house by boarding up broken windows, doors and tarps covering roof openings
- Removing water to prevent further secondary damage and mold growth
Once these steps are completed, we remove smoke residues and soot from all surfaces, including ceilings, walls, floors, and contents. It is vital to utilize the appropriate cleaning methods, chemicals and equipment to clean and sanitize every room in the home:
- Cleaners appropriate for the type of residue and surface, e.g., fluffy soot vs greasy residues, porous and non-porous surfaces
- Industrial air scrubbers
- Fogging equipment
Restoration after a fire has damaged your home or business may require replacing drywall, new flooring, new electrical outlets, switches and wiring, and structural repairs. Our SERVPRO team can help manage all of these activities and return your home to its original condition, “Like it never even happened.”
