Fire And Smoke Damage Restoration

Fire and the resulting smoke from such a destructive force can cause damage to all areas of your home, not just the ground zero location of the fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the costs of direct property damage due to house fires have increased since 2011. 2015 saw $7 billion worth of damage.

Fire damage in Evergreen Park is stressful and can be a scary surprise for any homeowner. SERVPRO has seen firsthand what fire and smoke damage can do to a home, which is why we work quickly and restore homes with the best methods and latest technology to get you and your family back in your beds, safe and sound.

Reasons To Never Extend the Cleaning Process Post-Fire

When a fire has occurred in your home, it is crucial to call a fire cleanup and restoration expert like SERVPRO immediately to respond to your emergency. Extending the response time can have many consequences for your home's living spaces and structure. Right after a fire, soot and ash settle onto every surface in your home, from floor to ceiling. Porous materials may experience permanent discoloration, but many other surface areas in your home can be cleaned and saved if you take immediate action.

Within only a few hours, all the surfaces in your home can be affected by fire and smoke damage. Your furniture will likely need refinishing or heavy cleaning. The metals in your home will begin to rust and corrode, your walls will start to discolor, and even far away from the fire, clothing in your closet and bedding will become affected. Take immediate action after a fire to avoid permanent staining from the acidic soot and smoke. Also, the longer your belongings and structure remain untreated after a fire, the longer the restoration process will be and could cost you more due to permanently damaged furniture and structural pieces.
