Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Call a Fire Damage Restoration Service
Our New Orleans Team Will Restore Damage Quickly and Effectively
If your New Orleans home or business has been damaged by smoke or fire, you may be wondering if it's worth it to call a restoration service. After all, the damage is already done, right? Wrong. Calling our qualified restoration team at ServiceMaster Elite Cleaning Services as soon as possible can make all the difference in the outcome of your repairs.
We understand that fires are extremely traumatic and distressing events. After a fire, cleaning your carpets and windows is probably going to be the last thing on your mind. Despite this, time is of the essence. If you wait too long to begin restoration, the damage can become more extensive. On top of the existing fire and smoke damage, water damage as a result of firefighting efforts can become another area of concern.
By calling our restoration technicians right away, you can be sure that all the necessary steps will be taken to limit further damage to your property and make your home or business clean and safe again.
Our Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Process
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for restoring a home or commercial property after it has been damaged by fire or smoke. While every situation is unique, there are certain steps that need to be taken regardless of the circumstances. The smoke and soot from a fire are corrosive and will continue to cause damage long after the flames have been extinguished.
Our professional team has the proper equipment and cleaning products to remove soot and smoke before it causes permanent damage. We also have experience dealing with insurance adjusters and can help you navigate the claims process to get the maximum reimbursement for your repair costs.
Smoke and fire restoration is a multi-step process that requires expert knowledge to successfully execute. Backed by a national brand with over 65 years of experience, our New Orleans team has the resources and expertise to get the job done. We will handle any size restoration project with precision and care.
At ServiceMaster Elite Cleaning Services, our fire and smoke damage process can be broken into three distinct phases, which we will explain in further detail.
1. Damage Assessment and Mitigation
Once all safety hazards have been mitigated, such as removing any live wires caused by electrical fires, and your property has been deemed safe by emergency personnel, the restoration process can begin. Our team will start with a thorough damage assessment in order to determine physical repairs that need to be made.
Additionally, we will determine if any water damage mitigation needs to be conducted as a result of firefighting efforts. Once these immediate problems are properly taken care of, our technicians will move on to the next phase.
2. Content Removal and Surface Cleaning
After taking care of the highest-priority repairs and mitigating further damage, our restoration technicians will begin to carefully package, remove, and store the contents of your home, from furniture to electronics and important documents. These items will be taken to our secure, climate-controlled facility for cleaning and restoration.
Once the contents of your home or business have been removed, our team will begin cleaning and deodorizing your home or businesses’ floors, ceilings, cabinets, and more. Smoke and soot can penetrate deep into these surfaces, and we will use our specialized tools and techniques to completely remove all stains, odors, and soot particles.
3. Restoring Your Home or Business to Its Original Condition
In addition to repairing damaged surfaces, our team at ServiceMaster Elite Cleaning Services will work to restore your furniture and other items back to their original condition. We have the capabilities to restore electronic data, documents, clothes, and a multitude of other items that may be affected by smoke or soot.
Once the restoration, cleaning, and deodorization of your items is complete, our team will help return them to their original location within your home or business in order to make the recovery process as smooth as possible for you.
No one wants their New Orleans property to be damaged due to a fire – it’s stressful enough without having to worry about how you’re going to restore your property back into its original condition! That’s why it’s important to contact us for help immediately after a fire; we can take care of all the necessary steps quickly and effectively so that you can get back into your home or business faster while limiting further damage.
