Commercial Fire Damage Restoration Services in Jenison, MI

When fire threatens everything you've built

Fire doesn't just burn your building — it can destroy everything you've worked to create. Your equipment, inventory, customer records, and years of hard work can disappear in minutes.

But the damage doesn't stop when the flames go out. Smoke seeps into walls, soot coats equipment, and water from firefighting efforts creates new problems. Every hour you wait, smoke odor embeds deeper and water damage spreads further.

ServiceMaster Water & Fire Restoration by Synergy serves Jenison businesses with 24/7 commercial fire damage restoration. We secure your property, remove smoke and soot, extract water, and restore what can be saved.

Because rebuilding starts with the right restoration partner.

What Causes Commercial Fires and Why They're So Devastating

Business fires start from surprisingly common sources:

• Overloaded electrical circuits
• Faulty wiring and electrical panels
• Kitchen and cooking equipment
• Heating systems and space heaters
• Smoking materials and cigarettes
• Extension cords and power strips
• Machinery overheating
• Welding and hot work operations
• Cleaning chemicals and flammable materials
• Generators and backup equipment

Manufacturing businesses face additional risks from high-heat processes, industrial chemicals, and heavy machinery.

Important! Fire damage is obvious, but the hidden damage often costs more. Smoke travels through your entire building, coating surfaces with acidic soot that keeps damaging materials long after the fire is out. Water from firefighting efforts soaks into floors, walls, and equipment. 

Within hours, electronics start corroding and fabrics become permanently stained.

Why Every Hour Counts:

• First 24 hours: Smoke smell embeds deeper
• 48-72 hours: Electronics start failing
• One week: Carpets and fabrics are ruined
• Longer: Costs skyrocket

Smoke doesn't just sit there — it keeps working. Soot acids eat into surfaces. Water soaks deeper into floors and walls. Your expensive office equipment starts corroding from the inside out.

Wait a week to call for help? That conference table you thought could be cleaned might need to be thrown out. Those computers that looked fine might be fried. Water damage turns into a mold problem.

Our Commercial Fire Damage Process

Fire damage restoration for businesses isn't the same as residential work. You need crews who understand commercial operations, work with business insurance policies, and know how to minimize downtime for Jenison companies.

Here's How We Handle Commercial Fire Restoration:

1. Emergency response and site safety assessment
2. Property securing and board-up services
3. Complete fire damage documentation for insurance
4. Smoke and soot removal from all surfaces
5. Water extraction and structural drying
6. Content cleaning and inventory restoration
7. Odor elimination and air quality restoration
8. Structural repairs and reconstruction
9. Final cleaning and business reopening preparation

Fire damage creates multiple problems that need to be tackled in the right order. Securing your property comes first — broken windows and damaged doors leave you vulnerable to theft and weather. 

Then we focus on stopping ongoing damage from smoke acids and standing water.

The restoration work happens in phases so we can save what's salvageable and rebuild what isn't. Some areas might be operational while others are still under construction.

Commercial Fire Damage FAQs - Jenison, MI

1. Can our business equipment and inventory be saved after fire damage?

Some can, some can't. Speed matters most.

Electronics have the best chance if we get to them fast — within a day or two, before the acids in smoke residue corrode the circuits. Office furniture might clean up fine. Fabric inventory? Much harder to save.

We check everything piece by piece. Some items get specialized cleaning. Others go straight to the dumpster. We'll tell you honestly what's worth trying to save and what isn't.

2. How long will our business be closed for fire damage restoration?

Every situation is different, but we work to get parts of your business operational as quickly as possible. Minor smoke damage might allow reopening in 3-5 days. Major structural damage could take weeks or months.
