In What Order Does Restoration Happen? 

A careful evaluation of the house's conditions occurs during a pre-job inspection and scoping of the damage. Data collected during this assessment determines the restoration plan, necessary tools, and personnel. Often, the path of fire damage restoration follows these steps:

• Emergency Services – These are pre-scoping tasks designed to prevent fire losses from getting substantially worse. Often these actions are extracting water, controlled demolition, and debris removal. 

• Safety Hazards – Environmental hazards are a severe concern for responding technicians, so we set up equipment like air scrubbers to help.

• Customer Priorities – Your concerns are vital to our restoration process because what is most important to you should get addressed as quickly as possible to put you at ease. 

• Cleaning/Soot Removal – Surface and airborne smoke and soot particles present a health and structural hazard, so our SERVPRO professionals must remove them as soon as possible. 

• Deodorization – Using foggers, hydroxyl generators, and ozone machines, we can neutralize and eliminate lingering smoke odors.
