SERVPRO Fire Damage Restoration Process

When placing your property in the hands of Richardson fire damage restoration services, you’d naturally want to know what to expect. We aim to keep our customers in the loop about the entire process. We assign you a single point of contact who provides you with updates and answers any questions you have about the fire remediation process.

In the following sections, we’ll outline the fire and smoke damage restoration process so you’ll know what to expect.

Phase 1: Fire Damage Inspection and Assessment

With Richardson fire damage restoration, where do you start? Before we do any damage repairs, we do a complete assessment of fire and smoke damage so everything is taken into account. 

Because secondary damage is so common, we go beyond the obvious signs of fire damage to examine the spaces surrounding the affected area. Fire restoration means bringing the property back to preloss condition, so we are meticulous about locating all the damage.

Phase 2: Board-Up and Roof-Tarp

While our fire damage recovery teams are eager to get started on the work right away, oftentimes we must wait. For example, the insurance needs time to authorize the repairs. In the meantime, we board up and tarp the areas that are vulnerable to additional damage.

Fire destruction takes down walls, obliterates windows, and eats away at the roof. This leaves your property vulnerable to vandalism, theft, and water damage from the elements. Fire damage restoration companies put temporary protection in place until we can address these areas.

Insurance companies will want to know if measures were taken to prevent more damage to the property. Board up and tarping is a proactive way to keep the natural and criminal elements from getting inside.

Phase 3: Water and Smoke Removal

Smoke is a given with fire damage, but why would there be water damage too? Water is the usual weapon to snuff out the flames. Gallons of water from interior sprinkler systems or fire department hoses used to put out the fire creates water damage.

Water damage remediation is a high priority. We use extractors, dehumidifiers, and air circulation to remove all water and moisture from the affected area. Water damage easily turns into toxic mold colonization, so we keep at it until all moisture is eliminated.

Next, we remove all traces of fire damage to all interior surfaces by employing special equipment, advanced techniques, and industrial-strength cleaners. Soot and smoke odors will be eradicated during this phase.

Phase 4: Fire Damage Restoration

With Richardson fire damage restoration, SERVPRO’s priority is to recover property rather than replace it. All the personal and miscellaneous contents of your property will be cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized. 

For contaminated soft goods like clothing, stuffed animals, and heirloom quilts, we have the Esporta Wash System. This state of the art industrial laundry machine restores your items to food-grade cleanliness.

As hard as we try, not everything can be recovered. When necessary, we replace the carpet, drywall, wooden construction, match the original trim and paint. Our goal is to make it “Like it never even happened.”

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Fire Damage Restoration in North Dallas?

Generally speaking, your property insurance should cover fire damage. This may include funds for living elsewhere while the restoration is underway. Save all your receipts for expenses related to the evacuation hotel stays, clothing purchases, etc.

For many property owners, it’s been years since you initiated a policy. You may not remember what coverage you signed up for. It’s a good idea to reach out to your insurance agent and go over your coverage. You may find that you need additional coverage or that the deductible is higher than you remember. This is your chance to make adjustments where needed or seek an insurance carrier that offers better benefits. 

SERVPRO is a pro at working with insurance companies. We work on your behalf so that the process is more efficient. We are also a preferred restoration company among the major insurance providers.
