Fire Damage Can be a Traumatic Event. SERVPRO Helps North Kingstown Residents Overcome the Smoke, Soil, and Odor Damage of Fire

What is fire restoration?

The kind of damage you may sustain in your North Kingstown home can vary from structure to contents. Many materials in the home combust quickly and become non-salvageable. Other materials may become charred or show no signs of burning but become coated in a thick layer of soots and smoke residues. SERVPRO fire restoration technicians help homeowners to sift through the debris left behind by the fire. We can remove and dispose of non-salvageable materials. We can identify contents or structure suitable for cleaning and perform the necessary restoration on the remaining parts of your home. In short, fire restoration is returning your property to how it was before the fire.

How do experts categorize fire damage?

• Minor damages are when smoke residues are limited to a small area with minimum need for replacing materials.
• Medium damages may show heat or charring to fittings and furniture in the home and heavy smoke residue requiring wet cleaning.
• Significant damages may have permanent damage to the structure with many non-salvageable contents. These scenarios require emergency mitigation services.

How does fire restoration tackle different types of damage?

The impact of fire damage in your North Kingstown home can be widespread and varied. SERVPRO technicians work to mitigate losses and provide structural and contents cleaning and reconstructing some or the entire house. Usually, the decision to enact any of these types of fire restoration is decided by the category of fire loss. Our crew chiefs may also offer specialty cleaning services for precious items like photographs, electronics, documents, and artwork.

How is cleaning conducted in structural fire restoration?

• Remove the smoke residues throughout the structure
• Restore or replace permanently damaged components like fittings
• Deodorize the structure using fogging equipment
