SERVPRO Can Board Up and Restore Your Tallahassee Home After a Fire

The Degree of Damage Dictates the SERVPRO Steps to Recovery

Those of you who have faced fired damage on your property before have likely heard that you should never enter your fire damaged home until the proper authorities tell you that it is safe to do so. Even then, you might want to consider waiting for some help before attempting to enter.  

Admitting that you do not know what to look for to prevent additional damage, or avoid injuries after a fire can save you from making a huge mistake. Fire damage occurring in your Tallahassee area home is bad enough, never add to the problem by tromping through damaged rooms and making things worse. Knowing whom to call and how to act after a fire incident occurs in your home can make all the difference.
 
With your family safe and the fire under control, you want to split responsibilities with your significant other, if you have one. Hopefully, you do because your day or night is far from over. Send one of you off to find temporary housing, make contact with family, friends, and your insurance company. Securing your families comfort for the next few nights, getting the kids and pets out of harm's way. If the damage caused by the blaze is not extreme, then we can rapidly expedite a return to normal.
 
The other should stay at the damaged home, secure the location, and make it a point to handle contacting a qualified restoration company, like SERVPRO for help. You never want to leave your damaged home all alone after an event occurs. Regardless of how quaint your neighborhood is, looting happens quite often, leading to further losses.
