Professional Fire Damage Cleanup Protects Your Family and Your Durham Property

Firefighters do everything they can to put out a fire when called to such an emergency in Durham. Their job includes spraying water onto exterior areas of your burning home, as well as opening up the roof to manage the flames better. The mixture of water, smoke, soot, and destroyed belongings can overwhelm anyone.

Such destruction needs someone who can make sense of your home's situation in Durham, starting fire damage cleanup as soon as possible. Our technicians understand that you want to save as much as possible after such a disastrous and traumatizing event, but some items do become damaged beyond repair. Whenever you encounter an item that we have placed in this category that you would like for us to try extremely intensive restoration techniques, we can discuss additional options with you.

How does SERVPRO handle Items in a Durham Home Fire?

Generally, we categorize everything as destroyed, restorable, or undamaged. Completely destroyed items require inventory sheets, both for your convenience in replacing such items and also for insurance claims. Another category includes items that might require additional measures, often requiring approval from insurance adjusters. The basis for most decisions rests on the cost-effectiveness of restoration vs. replacement costs.

To protect your family from the toxins produced by many of the items that burned or became intensely heated, we use different methods to remove the soot and smoke residues from surfaces that otherwise suffer no damage. Heavy soiling is not isolated on surfaces only, as spider tags can accumulate overhead. These often appear in corners and can steadily produce odors.

We also eliminate the increased moisture that plagues a house after the fire department finishes. Areas that never burned can end up soaked from the water used to put out the fire. A quick response can salvage much of these items, if not all. Our training and experience in similar situations help us guide you toward the most effective recovery possible. This includes time spent, as well as expenses.

SERVPRO of North Durham wants to assist your family recover from fire damage by providing effective cleanup measures. Making your Durham, Gorman, or Rougemont  home safe again is one of our many goals. Call us at (919) 467-0880 for the help your house needs.
