Fire Restoration to a Commercial Building

6/23/2017 (Permalink)

Q: What will happen to my building if I do not quickly get fire damage restoration service after  being the victim of a fire, and how long should I wait to take action?

A: The quick answer is immediately! There are many reasons to act upon your fire damaged business with great speed. From the business standpoint, every day required to clean up, repair and restore your building and to re-open the doors is lost revenue. Immediately contact your insurance agent and then SERVPRO or Auburn/Rocklin. This commercial fire restoration company will promptly respond, and upon agreement, begin to mitigate the water and fire damage. Delaying the fire restoration process can also compound the damage caused by the water used to extinguish the flames. Below are some factoids that suggest an immediate response to a fire-damaged structure is paramount.

The ash residue left from the fire can lead to permanent damage. Ashes are highly acidic and can corrode materials made of metal or glass. Glass windows may be permanently etched, and your drywall may be damaged and discolored beyond repair. As metallic materials corrode, water leakage from plumbing may occur, and lead to increased water damage requiring further repairs.

Q: As the owner of a business, why should I consider hiring an experienced fire damage restoration company like SERVPRO or Auburn/Rocklin?

A: Our technicians have the training, tools, equipment and experience to handle any fire damage incident to a commercial building. We respond immediately to begin the work to get you back to work. SERVPRO of Auburn/Rocklin experts are IICRC certified.

Q: How will your technicians perform fire damage restoration services for me?

A: SERVPRO or Auburn/Rocklin technicians will begin the building restoration process by inspecting the structure, assessing the damage and then determine the proper course of action beginning with the cleanup. They will do a comprehensive clean up and eliminate ashes, smoke, soot and debris. Because the odors caused by smoke may permeate walls and crevices, our professionals will use special machines called thermal foggers to release particulates into difficult to reach corners and voids to eliminate smoke odor.
