SERVPRO Handles Cleanup, Debris Removal, and Reconstruction During Fire Restoration

Fire damage can affect every section of a house or room, from the floor to the ceiling. In such cases, fire damage restoration involves tearing down the affected structural materials and replacing them with new ones to restore the property to its preloss state.

The need for fire restoration at your Jacksonville home may arise because of deep soiling by soot and deterioration of materials from the heat and flame action. In some cases, the decision to rebuild may be more appealing because you want to remodel your home or a section of the affected areas. For instance, you may opt to change a regular ceiling in the damaged kitchen or living room with a vaulted one. SERVPRO helps with rebuilding under any of these circumstances.

Our professional fire restoration service covers many other aspects, including:

• House fire cleanup
• Water & fire damage restorations
• Smoke remediation

Rebuilding a home affected by fire starts with the teardown of walls, ceilings, and other areas leaving structural supports. Completing this process without causing additional damages is essential. Our SERVPRO technicians take various precautions to guarantee this. For instance, before we start cutting drywall and ceiling panels, we use stud finders to establish and mark structural support points. When using power tools for cutting, we ensure the depth of the saw blade does not penetrate beyond the drywall.

Various cutting tools help with removal, including:

• Rotary saws
• Reciprocating saws
• Keyhole saws
• Razor knives

Our SERVPRO technicians also take the initiative to clear any soiling or layers of charring on the frames before fixing new insulation and panels.
