The Help You Need to Remediate Your Home After a Fire

1/28/2020 (Permalink)

Any time a fire starts in your home, the entire situation can be devastating. As soon as the blaze ignites, the first step is to make sure everyone near it is safe and out of harm’s way, including the family pets. The next step is to put out the flames using water or an extinguisher. Unfortunately, the process doesn’t stop when the fire is out. Anytime materials burn inside your home, these materials and contents can receive a wide variety of damage, from soot to water damage to odor and possible mold if left unchecked. Therefore, mitigation and restoration procedures require utilizing different techniques depending on the kind and scope of the damage. SERVPRO of East Phoenix can help remediate your home after a fire.

We find out more from you about what happened and preview the loss to get a complete understand of the type of damage we’re facing.
 
The next step is the consult and test stage. Our IICRC certified estimators complete a full examination of the problems that took place as a result of the home fire. We test clean impacted contents and materials to see what we can restore and what will need to be replaced. During the inspection process, we listen to you to find out where all the affected areas could be. Items in drawers and cabinets could have been impacted, depending on the severity of the fire and what was burning.

After the inspection

After we finish the initial inspection, we create a detailed initial estimate for you and your insurance adjuster, so you know exactly what we found and our recommendations for remediation. Once the work is formally approved, we develop a scope of work and plan the different types of mitigation procedures needed. If anything changes during the work process, we work with you and your adjuster to approve the change. You’re involved in every step of the process until the work is done!  If you ever need help after a fire in your home, call SERVPRO of East Phoenix at (602) 507-6163 any day of the week.
