From charred walls and damaged belongings to lingering smoke odors that have seeped into your home or business from a nearby fire, proper fire damage restoration can require several steps and, as you might imagine, some jobs are far more difficult than others. It doesn’t matter if your property is in Greensburg, Pennsylvania or any part of the greater Pittsburgh area; fire damage is something you must take seriously right away. If you don’t, you’ll have to live with long-term damage and lasting reminders of that destructive day.
At ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey, we’re proud to say we can offer far more than comforting words after a disaster. While the smoke is still lingering and the shock is beginning to sink in, we’re ready to help you map out a comprehensive fire damage restoration plan.
Fire Damage Restoration Requires an Immediate Response
We’ll be the first to tell you it’s a job you shouldn’t wait to get around to. Along with the obvious damage created by the flames, all that water used to extinguish the fire has likely created a bad brew of soggy ash, drenched papers, and other forms of nasty water damage. It’s a mixture our technicians want to quickly tackle before it becomes an even bigger mess.
Our professionals will help you decide what should be tossed and what can be salvaged. We can pack it out and transport it to a secure location where our team can clean it, deodorize it, and prepare it for a safe return after the building has been thoroughly cleaned and restored. Fire damage restoration can also include boarding up doors and windows and placement of tarps to secure the building to keep out unwelcome people, pests, and inclement weather.
Soot and Smoke Residues Need to Be Removed
One of the most immediate concerns our technicians have is the extent of the smoke damage to your structure’s interior and possessions. Fires create soot which covers most surfaces and seeps into walls and crevices. A microscopic coating of soot can permanently tarnish metal and other surfaces if not treated and sealed right away. Smoke can also find its way into wallboard and insulation, making it necessary to remove anything that might be a future source of odor.
If you need some guidance on reconstruction, we have some trusted partners who know how to help you make the rebuild better than what you had before. It’s a fire damage restoration and cleanup process that fits your specific needs and type of disaster. We promise to customize your recovery and communicate with your insurance company to ensure it’s kept up-to-date on the recovery process.
