How We Restore Homes to Pre-loss Condition

After fire or smoke damage, your property usually needs thorough cleaning. Typically, this means ceilings, walls, carpeting and flooring will need to be scrubbed down. Upon calling SERVPRO® of Augusta, our experienced technicians will come out and do a pre-test to determine the extent of damage. Depending on the amount of soot our crew will be able to determine which SERVPRO® cleaning products and equipment will be required to get your home back to preloss condition.

All restorable contents in affected areas in the home will be cleaned and deodorized. This means rugs, furniture, and upholstery. We begin by testing all fabrics that have been damaged by soot to figure out which cleaning methods are the most effective. SERVPRO® professionals can provide wet or dry-cleaning services. If your home is still under reconstruction, storing contents at our facility until your home is ready is an additional helpful tool we offer.

How Using the Right Equipment Makes the Difference

Using professional equipment makes a huge difference in reducing loss expense. SERVPRO® professionals are thoroughly trained in fire cleanup and restoration services. Our crews being able to spot the different types of smoke and smoke patterns make for proper and timely property restoration.

Examples:

• Wet Smoke is typically plastic or synthetic material and typically has a pungent odor and a sticky/smeary consistency.
• Dry smoke consists of paper and wood, it burns at a quick rate and has dry, non-smeary residues.

Pretesting allows technicians to determine which soot they’re looking at and how to properly clean and disinfect your home.

Additional Services for Fire Restoration

In some cases, additional steps are required to get your property back where it needs to be. We offer board ups in the case that parts of your structure need to be protected by weather intrusion. If long-term exposure threatens your contents, we may suggest moving your textiles and contents to our facility for short-term storing. Crews are trained to properly inventory, move and control the contents from your property during the cleaning and deodorization process.
