Restoration Experts Mitigate Fire Damage and Make Columbus Area Homes Livable Again

One type of disaster in Columbus that does not always have a known cause is a house fire. Sometimes they simply start for no detectable reason. Fire department investigators inspect the home after firefighters put out the flames to see if arson could have been a factor. Once the investigation finishes, we can begin restoring your home so your family can return home and get back to their normal activities and routines.

SERVPRO technicians help families recover from the tragedy of fire damage in Columbus by removing the charred and burned up materials from the home. We bag these up carefully because some of the items contain sharp edges, nails, broken glass, and other hazards. As we work, we do our best to keep the area clean, especially on the floor. Obstacles that might cause someone to trip and fall need removing as quickly as possible, so we keep a constant eye out for these situations. We know you might want to see our progress, and this keeps you safe, also.

One issue that we resolve when we mitigate fire damage is the amount of water introduced into your residence during the firefighters' time at your home. Unless we extract all of this moisture, our other efforts become worthless. This moisture quickly becomes a source for mold and other microbes, as well as a problem for areas of your home that otherwise remained unscathed during the fire.

We can assist you in listing what needs replacing by helping compile inventory lists. These detailed lists also contain information about items that the insurance adjuster must decide. Other items included on the lists are those that need specialized repair work, like computers and electronic devices, musical instruments, and fine art.

Once the moisture content of your home's structure and inside air return to normal, we can carry in new materials. Once installed and painted in your choice of colors, your home starts to look “Like it never even happened.” The last step is gaining control of smoky odors. We use hydroxyl gas or thermal fogging to combat this odor effectively. We want you and your family to feel safe and secure, and we know our thorough work can accomplish this for you.
