Fire damage rafters in Akron, Ohio

Are you a business owner in Akron, Ohio? Do you have a plan of action in case your facility has a fire? Most business owners are simply not prepared to address the issues after a fire strikes. They do not know how to clean up soot or smoke damage and it is very important to begin the fire loss cleanup process quickly. The quicker you clean up the soot and/or smoke damage the faster you can get back to work and therefore not losing the revenue from being closed from the fire disaster.

The crews at SERVPRO of West Akron take these steps to return commercial buildings to the state it was before the fire:

Step 1: CALL SERVPRO of West Akron at 330-867-5723

Our franchise is available 24/7/365. We will arrive with the appropriate equipment and resources to begin the fire cleanup process.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

Our estimators will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

If water is used by the fire department to extinguish the flames we will begin the clean up of water immediately and remediate majority of the water. We will place air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

The SERVPRO Franchise Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces.

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Our crews will clean all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We also use industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment to remove any smoke smell and to restore the air quality in the building.

Step 7: Restoration

During the restoration stage we will rebuild your structure and repair or replace drywall, paint, and install new carpet; or even rebuild various areas or rooms in your business.

Don’t forget that soot damage, smoke damage and problems with smoke in the air in the building must be addressed as soon as possible. Call the experts at SERVPRO of West Akron at 330-867-5723.
