Fire Damage Restoration In Fort Lee Can Involve A Large Amount Of Debris Removal

Once an inferno ignites on your Fort Lee property, the flames can quickly spread and possibly torch a large number of your building materials and structural components. When conducting fire damage restoration, a professional company such as SERVPRO can end up spending a lot of their work hours removing burnt debris. In some cases, the burnt items in your home can be saved by cleaning, but if the fire was severe, demolition procedures could occur.

During fire damage restoration in Fort Lee, the first thing our SERVPRO technicians do is inspect the building for safety hazards. If light fixtures were affected, we can shut off the power and bring in other lights so that no electrical hazards exist. We can also go through your house and look for any other potential safety issues, such as fall and trip hazards. For example, if burnt sections of your ceiling are hanging down, we can safely remove them so that they do not fall on any of the workers or other building occupants. Or, if there is a large number of burnt items that have already fallen to the ground, we can clear paths for occupants so that no tripping dangers exist.

Before working towards demolition or debris removal, our SERVPRO crew also makes sure that the building is sealed from the outside. During structural blazes, windows often shatter when they get too hot, or the firefighters break your doors and windows to extinguish the flames. If there are burnt chunks of wall, doors, or broken windows after the blaze takes place and your home is exposed to the outdoor elements, we can go through and board up and seal off the openings in your structure.

Once the work site is deemed safe, we first determine what got charred so badly to where it needs to be removed and replaced and what we think we can save. To start the demolition process, we first start removing any loose burnt debris on your floors. Next, we start removing sections of your ceiling and drywall that got severely charred. When disposing of burnt fire damaged items in your house, we always put the debris into sealed industrial strength trash bags so that no soot can spread to previously unaffected areas of your structure.
