Fire Damage Restoration to Your Property by SERVPRO

NSB Fire 1-3-17A fire in your residence is always a crisis, but when it happens in your retirement villa or condo, you may be far from your normal support system. Without family or friends to offer you a place to stay during the aftermath of a home fire rely on SERVPRO to make every effort to help you remain in control of your home during restoration. If the fire and the impact of firefighting methods were confined to a small area, our technicians might be able to contain the soot and smoke damage to that area. This allows you to live in the remainder of the home as we work through the fire damage restoration steps necessary to return the affected parts of the premises to pre-loss condition. Containment methods like draping thick plastic sheeting around the damaged area or using negative air pressure to localize airborne debris to the fire’s hot spot will be used if, in the highly trained opinion of our fire restoration crew, this approach will eliminate the spread of soot and odor while the mitigation work occurs.

Often fire damage challenges the understandable desire of a New Smyrna Beach household to remain in their home to supervise the completion of cleaning, repairing, deodorizing, and restoring after the blaze is extinguished. A temporary relocation can feel like abandoning your precious furnishings and possessions. The health and safety of you and your family are paramount, sometimes necessitating a move if we do not believe we can keep your sleeping and living areas danger free during restoration.

SERVPRO technicians may also be dealing with the chemical and water issues that can be part of the fire damage scene, these resources having been used to extinguish the fire. If the combination of several types of damage makes it unsafe or overly complicated for you and your family to reside in the home during fire damage abatement, we will work with your insurer to find appropriate and cost-covered housing. Frank communication between our employees and you will help determine whether remaining in your home is feasible, and what alternatives you have at your disposal if you must leave even for a short while. Rest assured that we will inventory any furnishings or other possessions we may need to remove to complete restoration, whether we shift them to another area of your property such as a garage, or to a remote site where they may receive special treatments to clean and deodorize them.

Count on SERVPRO of New Smyrna Beach-Titusville to help you make the best decisions about safety while restoring fire damage to your retirement home. A call to our dispatchers at (321) 264-0205 will have a crew arriving within hours to plan and perform the restoration.
