Reasons to Hire Professionals to Restore Your Fire Damaged Tallahassee Home 

After a fire starts in your home, lasting damage can occur. After putting out the fire, ash, water, and smoke can continue damaging your house. Using DIY techniques to clean your home may cause more problems because you may not remove the residues effectively.

Even though you may be anxious about cleaning your Tallahassee home after fire damage, remember that while certain cleaning materials and techniques are safe to use, others can cause further damage. You can hire a fire restoration company such as SERVPRO to help you prevent additional damage. Our crew can take steps to remove the smoke residues, debris, the chemicals, or water used to put out the fire and odors.

When restoring fire-damaged homes, worker and occupant safety is a priority. Our crew can inspect your home thoroughly, noting all the destruction the fire caused. When checking your home, our team can identify and address safety hazards. This includes slip and trip hazards, electrical hazards, and air quality issues. We can separate burnt electrical equipment and cords for disposal and unplug and tag questionable electrical appliances so they can be evaluated for safe operation. We can turn off the electrical power and keep it off until a licensed technician evaluates it.

Smoke quickly travels to rooms that the fire did not affect, causing other damages such as stained walls and bad odors in the house. Therefore, our team can deal with smoke damage immediately to prevent costly repairs. We have suitable tools to remove ash and soot. We can clean all the walls and ceilings that have stains from the smoke. We take care of all the debris left after the disaster.

Smoke may also affect furniture, clothing, and electronics. Our SERVPRO technicians can restore your salvageable contents to their preloss condition. We can use the immersion cleaning technique to clean items that can tolerate being completely saturated with the cleaning product like Venetian blinds. Our restorers can also immerse small washable items in the cleaning solution and use brushes or towels to dislodge the soils. After cleaning the things, we can use fresh water to rinse them. We can also use a less labor-intensive and more straightforward immersion cleaning procedure known as ultrasonic cleaning to clean items. We place the contents into an ultrasonic tank that is filled with water and a suitable cleaning solution.

During the restoration process, we work directly with our customer’s insurance company to come up with the loss estimate. We update our customers about every decision we make and give them a chance to air their views.
