Fires are devastating, but fire damage cleanup does not have to be. Not only do the flames themselves tear through a home, business or school, but the chaos created in the act of putting them out piles on.
Although each fire and the aftermath it brings may require individualized solutions to repair, the overall process of fire damage repair can be broken down into 6 basic steps:

The fire damage repair process starts when you make the call. SERVPRO of Limestone and Lawrence Counties is staffed around the clock, so you’ll be able to reach a trained professional as soon as the need arises.

Inspection and Assessment
The first thing the we will do is thoroughly inspect each area of the home to determine the range of the fire, smoke, soot and other damage. They will take the time to check every area for the exact damage received, making complete notes as they go. These notes will be the building blocks to create your individual plan of action for your fire damage repair.
Securing the Property Against More Damage
Fires often compromise the walls, roof, and windows of a home, leaving the home, school or business exposed to outside elements. To help maintain security and to protect against additional damage. SERVPRO of Limestone and Lawrence Counties will board-up any holes in the exterior walls and windows.
Water Removal as Required
Since fires are typically fought with a large amount of water, in most cases we begin with water remediation. From extraction to dehumidifiers and air movers, our team will remove excess water and help prevent any potential secondary damage.
Preliminary Clean-up for Fire Damage Repair
Smoke and soot removal process requires specialized equipment and techniques to ensure a thorough elimination of the residue from every surface of the home including walls, ceilings, doors and more.
Final Clean-up and Sanitizing
After the smoke and soot are eliminated, we will continue the fire damage repair process by cleaning all restorable items and structures of the house. A variety of cleaning techniques are used to help restore your contents to a preloss state.
