Fire and smoke damage is incredibly destructive, and should be responded to immediately with fire restoration services. Even after the initial fire has been put out, lingering soot and ash is harmful to persons and property. Inhaling soot and ash is harmful to your health. Infrastructure damage can let in rain or even create a security risk to your home. To ensure the health and well-being of your household, give SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda a call as soon as you can, once firefighters have left the area. Here’s what you can expect from ourrestoration service:

• Initial Assessment: First, restoration processionals will survey the extent of the damage in your home, triage the situation, and devise a plan of action. 

• Clear the Area: Everything that can be salvaged  will be immediately removed from the damaged areas, and stored in our secure warehouse or on your property if it is safe.  Forexample, electronics, furniture, upholstery, and other valuable items. Even if these items are smoke damaged, they can be treated and cleaned separately.

• Mitigation: To prevent existing damage from worsening or causing additional problems, the fire restoration process will also involve setting up tarps and barriers (e.g. to cover roof damage), turning off gas or water lines, and other temporary fixes that are necessary while more permanent solutions are developed.

• Clean Up: Once damage has been mitigated, restoration professionals can then start cleaning away all the ash, soot, and smoke stains from the walls and ceilings, and clean and deodorize your carpets. If the area was flooded, they may also perform water damage restoration.

• Repair & Replacement: Some parts of your home or business may have become so charred that they require replacement rather than cleanup. At this stage in the process, your restoration professionals will replace cabinets, wall panels, door frames, electronics, framing, drywall  and other items that could not be salvaged.

In the unfortunate event you need fire restoration services, you can count on SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda to help life get back to normal.
