When should I call the restorers?

With fire damage, it is essential to act fast to stop further loss that can lead to expensive repairs. When the smoke clears, contact our response team, who can promptly restore your fire damaged Point Pleasant property. Our team of technicians answers our customer’s emergency call with quick and decisive action. We are available 24-hours a day, all year long.

What is involved in the restoration process?

Our team of technicians calls the first 48 hours after the unfortunate incident, the “golden hours” for restoration. With our fast response, our technicians can restore affected structures and contents fast.

Fire produces acidic soot and smoke, which can cause the deterioration and corrosion of essential items and building components. Firefighters use water or dry chemicals to extinguish the flames. Also, a persisting smoke odor is left behind after the incident and can exist for an extended period if not removed properly.

Our fire damage restoration service includes damage mitigation, soot, and smoke damage cleanup as well as water restoration. We always use approved techniques to restore our customers’ property.

Since time is of the essence, we use state-of-the-art equipment and tools to hasten the restoration process. For instance, our technicians can use centrifugal air movers to increase air circulation, which can speed up the drying process.

What factors do professionals consider when restoring valuable items?

Before our team of experts restores a home’s contents, we evaluate the items thoroughly based on the following factors:

•     Loss of value and use
•     The effects of smoke and heat
•     Restoration cost vs. replacement cost
•     Sentimental value

We consider these factors to keep our customers from incurring unnecessary expenses and dispose of items damaged beyond repair.

How can you get rid of the smoke odor?

The SERVPRO team of technicians works hard to leave homeowners and their families in a friendly environment. Even after cleaning your property thoroughly, we can use air scrubbers to remove the odor in your property.
