Choosing Home Restoration Services in Advance | SERVPRO® of Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline Counties

Fires can happen regardless of the weather, which is why fire preparedness is so important throughout the year. However, experts like the Red Cross recommend being extra prepared in winter months as that is when the rate of home fires peaks throughout the United States.
Planning for both during and after a fire is extremely important. Create an emergency escape plan so your entire family knows what to do the moment a fire breaks out. For afterward, knowing what restoration company to call can help things move along quickly so you can reclaim your home.
Choosing Us for Fire Restoration
It goes without saying that you want the company you choose for fire restoration to do a good job, but it is important to know what that means. Working with a company that will compromise on quality or service offerings can create further headache down the road—that is why we offer a three-step fire cleanup process to take care of everything for you:
Structural Cleaning
The structure of a home is made up of many important elements, all of which can be damaged in a fire. Beginning with establishing the extent of the damage with pretesting, we will then bring in the tools we need for restoration. We will clean and repair the area, and can even prepare soot-covered walls for paint application.
Content Cleaning
Replacing your items after a fire is often costlier than having them restored, which is why we make sure to have the tools on hand to clean a variety of belongings. Utilizing both wet and dry cleaning equipment, we can handle a variety of items from wood furniture to area rugs to electronics. This allows you to keep the items you love while ensuring they are cleaned, deodorized and safe to use.
Deodorization Services
Fires can leave behind smoke and soot odors that linger unpleasantly. Air scrubbing equipment ensures these hazardous particles are removed instead of simply covering up odors with fragrances.
