Why SERVPRO Is the Choice for Wrap-Around Fire Damage Restoration in Orlando

A fire igniting in your Orlando home creates an aftermath that can be overwhelming. The relief felt after you and your family made it to safety comforts, but viewing the chaos inside your house after the firefighters leave creates waves of worry and stress. Finding a full-spectrum fire mitigation and remediation partner is vital, why we invest in multiple certifications for our employees, and a comprehensive inventory of commercial-grade restoration equipment. 

Preliminary Fire Recovery Tasks

When you experience household fire damage in Orlando, the extent of collateral harm due to the blaze is staggering. First on the agenda is securing any exterior damage, including boarding up and tarping broken windows and breaches in siding or roofs. Then the water and chemical extinguishing foam and chemicals from firefighting efforts must receive attention. Our decision to provide the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained crews is why we manage all aspects of contaminated water removal and structural drying efficiently. Containing and lawfully disposing of the hazardous fluids clears the decks and provides a safer environment for fire debris and residue cleanup.

Smoke and Soot Cleanup

Our team switches focus on removing airborne particles and gases, setting up negative pressure air scrubbers filtering solid pollutants in the affected spaces. This equipment helps limit residual odors and contains the residues to prevent additional spread into other areas of your home. Evaluation of the characteristics of the residues on surfaces is best done by our Fire and Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT), why SERVPRO can match products and cleaning methods appropriately to each manifestation of soot in your dwelling. 

Inspection and Removal of Charring

Restoration is less disruptive and costly than tear-outs and repairs, why SERVPRO uses innovative strategies to strip charred surfaces to clean wood. If we are confident of their strength and integrity after treatment, we arrange for building material refinishing. Sometimes we recommend sealing if we fear smoky odors are deeply embedded. 

Rebuilding Options

Some fire damage is too severe to remediate, which is why SERVPRO relies on our General Contractor License to arrange for repairs and rebuilding. Offering construction services eliminates the need for you to line up additional service providers as we restore the damage to your home. We also work closely with your insurer throughout the project, limiting your out of pocket expenses with our careful documentation.

The ability to take most projects from assessment to completion is why SERVPRO of Apopka-Wekiva is a good fit after household fire damage. Call us at (407) 788-3124 as the firefighters pack up, ensuring a fast assessment and project planning.
