Cleaned Up and Made Livable with Fire Restoration
Firefighters use water or foam to extinguish the fire when a home catches fire. Water makes it so things can no longer burn, and foam works similarly by blocking oxygen from getting near anything that can fuel the fire. Either can save your house in Peabody, but thousands of gallons of water can leave such residential properties with additional restoration needs.
The technicians at SERVPRO can handle any fire restoration work our Peabody customers might need. We want to make your damaged home a place that you feel comfortable and safe living in again.
Because fire restoration work requires more than mere cleaning away of soot and removing odors, SERVPRO specializes in rebuilding and reconstructing homes and businesses. This specialized work includes :
- Roofing repairs and reconstruction of attics, including insulation installation,
- Reconstruction of window frames, and
- Cleaning up of water or foam used by the fire department.
Firefighters often open up the roof when a house burns to gain control over the fire. Such holes allow pests like raccoons and birds, rain, and debris from overhead trees to enter your residence. We get these openings tarped immediately upon arrival and rebuild the damaged structures, including shingles and gutters. We often remove any existing insulation and install new batting or blown-in insulation.
Window frames often swell and warp during a fire. Glass can become cracked, also. These changes can make it difficult or even impossible to open and close windows. We can remove these when we perform any other needed controlled demolition work and then reinstall new windows and frames.
The fire department’s goal is to put it out as quickly as possible whenever a fire breaks out. Often using water, they create another mess while gaining control over the initial catastrophe. Restoration includes water extraction, drying the floors and walls, and the air with a combination of air scrubbers and desiccation machines.
