Improving Fire Restoration with Emergency Services
When disasters strike, there is no mistaking the need for fast action and mitigation for your home. Our FSRT-Certified technicians are ready 24/7 to mobilize and offer effective emergency services that can shorten restoration times.
Improving Indoor Air Quality
Fire restoration for Hicksville homes hinges on the indoor air quality our SERVPRO team first encounters. Removing airborne contaminants and carcinogenic particles is one of the first steps of successful recovery, using equipment from our inventory like HEPA 500 air scrubbers.
Removing Fire Debris
It is essential to consider what is needed to remove debris and material buildup on the house's floors. This debris can help create a volatile environment that our professionals enter into, making the cleanup and safe removal of these remnants critical to mitigating fire loss effects. Removing debris helps to:
- Identify structural issues
- Reduce odors
- Lessen soot concentration
Clearing Water from Suppression
Putting out the fire is vital to protecting your home and its contents from irreparable harm, but this adds another layer of restoration work for our professionals. Standing water from the extinguishment process can pool in several areas of the property, requiring extraction and drying measures to coincide with other emergency services. Cleanup after a fire cannot be successful with pooling water in areas of the house.
Overcoming Structural Concerns
Another one of the focuses of our responding professionals is assessing the structural integrity of the building materials affected. A destroyed structure can be a hazard during restoration, providing false floor security or the potential for collapse. We assess the condition of these elements to determine if controlled demolition is necessary or if temporary repairs should happen not to slow down the recovery progress.
