Fire Damage, Meet Water Damage

7/11/2022 (Permalink)

Even after a minor fire, the cleanup process can be extensive. Where there’s fire damage, there is often water damage from rescue efforts. Soot and smoke might be the first thing you think about cleaning up, but first, we must address the water damage.

Much like your typical water damage situation, water damage caused by putting out a fire can have just the same or even a greater effect in your home   since the cause was not localized. Much of this damage can be found in the drywall, flooring, ceilings, cabinets and even your personal belongings.

Mold can grow quickly – in as little as 24 hours. And where there is water, there is a potential for mold growth. SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough can assist you from the start when it comes to fire restoration. First, our technicians will ensure that your home is secure. Windows and roofs can be boarded up to avoid further weather damage. Then, we begin the drying and cleanup process.

Our certified technicians can do it all. Some services include: placing drying equipment, the removal or demo of damaged drywall, flooring and cabinets and mold remediation. Our techs will clean your home from top to bottom. Soot and smoke can travel, so it’s recommended the entire home is professionally cleaned. And if your home requires a rebuild, we’re here for that, too! 

After the remediation services on your home are complete, you can ask to be referred to our reconstruction manager who will work with you and your insurance company to begin the rebuild process.
