You Need Efficient Fire Damage Cleanup in Your Clinton Home to Prevent Additional Damage

It is traumatic to watch your home go up in flames. Despite the emotional turmoil you experience, it is crucial to act quickly after the fire has been put out to prevent further damage. Delaying the restoration process can lead to expensive repairs because of other issues such as rainwater seeping through the roof or the growth of mold.

Another essential step is to contact your insurance company to let it know about the fire damage in your Clinton residence. Your insurance company can take steps of assessing the damage and compensating you for the loss. As the insurance adjuster inspects the damages, ensure that a thorough inspection is done. You want your insurance claim to cover all the costs. The areas that should be examined include:

    •    Roof
    •    Windows
    •    Walls and framing
    •    Stucco and siding
    •    The plumbing and heating system

After the inspection, you can trust our SERVPRO team can take inventory of the salvageable and unsalvageable items. We can begin the fire damage cleanup process by removing soot, ash, debris, the residue of fire extinguishing agents, and any water and moisture that could be present.

A fire can char building materials like drywall and wood, making it necessary to replace them. During the fire damage mitigation and restoration process, our team can demolish and remove affected building materials and dispose of them properly. Our team can clean structural items using wet cleaning or dry cleaning procedures. We choose the right cleaning method based on factors such as the type of soil and the type of surface, and if water-based cleaning products can damage it.

When it comes to restoring contents, we can use abrasive cleaning if it is necessary to agitate an affected surface. Our restorers can use various methods to agitate or abrade residues from a surface. An example is applying a cleaning product that contains abrasive ingredients onto the surface. We take precautions when using products containing abrasive ingredients to avoid damaging the surfaces we are cleaning.

Our SERVPRO team can also help you navigate the insurance claims process and get the settlement you deserve for the fire loss. Understanding the process of filing a claim, what you are entitled to, and how to document the damage is the key to protecting your finances through the fire restoration process. Our restorers can ensure that you are not alone during the claims process.
