Trust SERVPRO® to Handle Fire Damage in Tolland 

The aftermath of a fire can be devastating. Even though the fire is not severe enough to cause you to lose your home, the repair process is extensive. SERVPRO can conduct a thorough cleanup, which is vital to ensure your home is safe for inhabitation once more and to eliminate soot and smoke damage.  

Different types of fire damage occur in Tolland homes. From experience, our SERVPRO team knows that the most common type of destruction resulting from a fire is structural damage. A fire may weaken or even collapse floors, walls, and roofs. Smoke damage may also occur following a fire. Smoke can permeate ceilings, walls, and other structures and contents. 

A building can also sustain heat damage. Heat can melt and warp plastics and electronics. It can also ruin doors, windows, and other items. If a fire causes the burning of chemicals like bleach or other hazardous materials, it can cause chemical destruction in a building, including corrosion and discoloration of surfaces. No matter the type of damage that has occurred in your home, SERVPRO can repair it. Our fire restoration services include the following activities:

• Inspecting the building’s structural integrity for safety.
• Assessing sensitive materials that may have sustained damage because of smoke residues.  
• Evaluating the areas that may have sustained water damage because of fire suppression efforts. 
• Repairing water damage.
• Performing a pack out.
• Deodorization.
• Reconstruction.

Smoke can continue to destroy affected structures even after a fire is out. When smoke coats or penetrates surfaces, it continues to impact the chemical composition of metals, fabrics, ceilings, walls, and tiles. Our IICRC-certified SERVPRO technicians can eliminate smoke residues from walls, woodwork, ceilings, and floors, among other surfaces. We can use suitable cleaning products like dry cleaning sponges to remove the residues. We can also clean affected surfaces to prepare them for painting.

3 Ways that Fire Damage Might Impact a Home in Stafford Springs

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO technicians work hard to restore your fire damaged Stafford Springs home. "Like it never even happened."

Cleanup and Restoration Are Crucial for a Safe Home Environment

There is a wide variety of items a family might have within their Stafford Springs residence, and each house's floor plan is different from most other homes. We recommend that families practice daily fire safety and hold fire drills regularly.

Because of the diversity in building materials and the different ways a fire can start, every fire is unique. A difference in humidity within a structure can affect the depth of a fire's damage in Stafford Springs. Homes with higher humidity might experience more incomplete burning, which creates denser soot and ash than the fire in a drier dwelling.

You Need SERVPRO's Methods, Equipment, & Training

We want to explain some of the ways a house fire can affect your Stafford Springs residence, along with the techniques SERVPRO® uses to resolve these problems.

• Soot deposits can cause etching of polished surfaces, sharply intense and unpleasant odors, and staining of surfaces (along with accelerated disintegration) - we remove soot via brush and vac, wet toweling, chemical bonding, and agitated suds.
• Physical destruction of personal items and the interior composition of your residence through direct fire and high heat - we remove all unrepairable items and take photos of it all so we know the building elements to rebuild and the items to populate an inventory list (this helps with insurance paperwork, also), and
• Airborne ash and other pollutants can create an unbearable breathing environment - our air scrubbers start work as soon as we begin (even though we wear respirators) until we have cleaned up and restored your home.

Also, damaged utility infrastructure often requires replacements before turning any service back on - firefighters often shut off gas, electricity, and water inside a burning house, later requiring the entire system's replacement.

We can arrange this so everything happens smoothly and without extending your expected date to return home. We can guide you every step of the way to decrease the stress and uncertainty of this disaster.
