How SERVPRO Restores Fire Damage in Seminole Homes 

Fires can happen at any time, from overloaded outlets to kitchen flare-ups. Because damage can spread so quickly in a residence, our responding SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches team must begin mitigation work as soon as possible. Overcoming pressing threats to your property involves careful inspection and evaluation. As leading restoration professionals, we have technicians readily available 24/7 to help with:

• Fire restoration
• Smoke remediation
• Fire and smoke damage
• House fire clean up

When Can SERVPRO Arrive to Help?

Often just knowing a fire exists does not mean that restoration professionals like ours can reach the area immediately. The clip shows multiple segments of firefighting efforts, of which our SERVPRO professionals cannot intervene or thwart. Waiting for the property to be safe enough for re-entry begins with extinguishment by first responders and clearance for entry. As a preferred insurance vendor, we are often notified of developing fire situations to have a team standing by when restoration can begin.

Emergency Services for Fire Damage Incidents

One of the important aspects of a fast response to post-fire recovery in area homes is debris removal. You can see this action taking place in several shots of this video, both where the technicians are pulling out damaged linoleum tile and with one of our technicians walking through a containment barrier carrying a bag of debris removed from the property. This cleaning process for this residence addressed:

• Charred remnants
• Ash
• Soot
• Ruined contents
• Bulk materials

While only on the screen for a moment, you can note some of the air filtration and environmental cleaning efforts we conducted early in this fire restoration. The clip shows one of our Dri Eaz HEPA 500 air scrubbers installed in a controlled demolition space. An exhaust duct created with polypropylene plastic sheeting exhausts the air outside to a safer area. Debris removal was critical for this fire damage situation. The continued use of the HEPA air scrubbers ensured that the unsettled dust, debris, and smoke damage did not become a hazardous presence.

One of the underappreciated restoration needs for a home after a fire is water removal and water damage repairs. Because a high volume of clean water is necessary to extinguish the blaze, pooling and saturation could be widespread concerns. In houses, we can utilize the initial job scoping phase to learn about the migration of moisture and the necessary drying and cleaning to be done. We have various industry-leading evaporative drying equipment to ensure water damage is not even more threatening than the fire.

Premier Tools for the Job

Short segments of this video show our talented staff providing educational, promotional content to customers. Brief few moments are devoted to one of the key elements to post-fire recovery: air scrubbers. Combined with other mitigation actions when our SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf arrive, such as water removal and controlled demolition, this is a crucial component to making fire losses “Like it never even happened.”
