Fire Damage Restoration Focuses on Several Areas
There is no mistaking the urgency of a fire loss situation impacting a home or business. As fire sweeps through the property, first responders get dispatched immediately to quell the blaze and protect what they can of your residence. Likewise, professionals like our SERVPRO team are ready to mobilize quickly as well to ensure that we can provide efficient solutions for:
- Emergency Services

When West Lynn fire damage occurs, professionals like our SERVPRO team are called upon for mitigation and emergency services. As full-service contractors, we can provide a wealth of initial efforts, including controlled demolition and debris removal.
A Trusted Name After Fire Damage
Becoming a preferred vendor for insurance work and the fire restoration solutions required us to be able to enter homes as it was safe to do so and begin vital mitigation efforts. We understand the needs of insurance adjusters to approve damage claims, so we work fast to inspect the structure and comprise detailed estimations.
Ready for Large Loss Demands
With many commercial facilities, businesses, and institutions in and around West Lynn, our professionals must be prepared for the additional requirements of these structures following fire damage. We have trailered equipment and hundreds of restoration tools to meet larger structures' demands without compromising the efficiency these businesses expect.
What Emergency Services Are Needed?
Emergency services are the initial steps our professionals take to secure a structure and prevent avoidable harm. The faster these actions occur, the more the residence can be protected from the migrating fire loss effects.
- Water Removal - High volumes of water are often necessary to extinguish a fire, but it can result in pooling and standing water in the areas of your home most impacted by the fire. We utilize multiple extraction devices and drying tools to help eliminate this secondary threat.
- Air Filtration - Smoke and soot particles in the air can create a volatile environment and continue to threaten exposed building materials and contents until air quality improves. We have HEPA filtration products that can reduce airborne particulates.
- Debris Cleanup - Ash, smoke solids, and charred materials must all be cleaned up and discarded as soon as possible to reduce soot and smoke odor concentrations.
Surface Cleaning Solutions for Fire Damage
Soot and smoke residues comprise the most substantial restoration obstacles for experienced technicians of our SERVPRO team. Many variables can impact the cleaning techniques necessary, including the type of underlying material, smoke damage, and contact time. We work to establish the most efficient method of removing surface soot and preserving building materials and contents affected as much as possible. We can implement more abrasive measures if surface cleaning is ineffective, such as media blasting and agitation.
The Reconstruction Necessary After a Fire
After a structure fire, significant reconstruction and repair are often required. Not only will SERVPRO professionals need to complete controlled demolition early in the restoration process, but our full-service team has the experience and knowledge to complete multiple build-back needs for the property.
Lingering Odors Present a Problem
One of the final obstacles technicians must overcome following a fire is the removal of lingering malodors. Burning and combustion involving many different types of materials can leave a formidable smell in the affected areas of the house. Plastics and accelerants can create offensive odors beyond typical smoke produced by organics. Counteractants and cleanup can help reduce the severity of these conditions, but foggers, hydroxyl machines, and ozone generators complete this process.
