At SERVPRO of Greenville, we understand how devastating a fire can be for homeowners and businesses. In addition to the emotional toll, the damage to property can feel overwhelming. After the flames are extinguished, knowing the next steps is crucial for recovery. Here's a breakdown of what to expect during the fire damage restoration process.

Emergency Contact

The first step is to contact a trusted restoration company. At SERVPRO, we're available 24/7 to respond quickly to any fire emergency. Our team will ask a series of questions to assess the damage and dispatch technicians promptly.

Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

Once on-site, our certified professionals will carefully inspect the property to determine the full extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This inspection allows us to develop a customized plan of action.

Water Removal and Drying (If Necessary)

In many cases, water damage accompanies a fire due to firefighting efforts. We utilize advanced equipment to remove water and dehumidify the affected areas to prevent mold growth and further structural damage.

Smoke and Soot Removal

Smoke and soot can penetrate walls, ceilings, furniture, and even ventilation systems, leaving a lingering odor and unsightly stains. This can be challenging to remove without the proper knowledge and materials. Even several coats of paint often allow the scent to permeate, in time. Using specialized techniques and cleaning solutions, we eliminate smoke and soot from surfaces, restoring the property to pre-fire condition.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Beyond structural restoration, our team handles the cleaning of personal belongings and furniture. We also use air scrubbers and fogging equipment to remove odors, ensuring the property smells fresh and clean.
