SERVPRO Response Teams Can Speedily Restore Your Grovetown Residence.

Is Restoration One-Size-Fits-All, or is There a Plan Specific to my Home?

Grovetown fire damage restoration is different for each home, depending on what burned and the temperature of the fire. These two factors determine much of both the type and extent of the damage. Especially important for our response team leader is to determine which emergency services are needed for each structure. These include: 

• Board up damaged doors, windows, walls, and even the roof. This action preserves the home form trespassing, vandalism, weather, and intrusions from animals and insects.
• Remove water. Homes often have standing water left by fire-fighting efforts. Team members use extractors to draw out the water and install air movers and fans to dry property. 
• Establish electrical support. If the fire compromised residential power, team members bring in a portable generator from our equipment inventory for continuous, 24-hour power for light and heat.
• Begin deodorization. Fire odors can linger for weeks if untreated, so response teams remove all burned property from the home as quickly as possible to eliminate the source of these malodors. 

When Do Response Teams Begin Cleaning? 

Immediately. To help the homeowner in temporary quarters, our facility can wash and dry large amounts of clothing to remove one more concern off their list. Inside the home, initial efforts are to remove as much of the soot particles as possible to avoid further damage to property.

Is That Everything?

Each home has items that owners may need to send to an expert for cleaning, artwork, and electronics, for example. SERVPRO does not restore these items but can move them to an undamaged part of the home or transport them to our facility until the specialist can pick them up.
