Rely on the trained professionals at SERVPRO after fire damage

Cleaning up after a fire event in your New Orleans home is not comparable to any other type of household task. The soiling, air quality issues, and progressive damage to structural materials, and the contents of your home can be extreme and permanent if those managing the jobs fail to observe the proper protocols or to use appropriate equipment, and products. Our fire and smoke damage specialists have the training, tools, and experience to restore your damaged premises fast.

Speedy assessment, planning, and implementation of the plan’s designated steps are crucial when restoring fire damage in New Orleans. Our well-qualified team arrives ready to start immediately, handling post-fire tasks with confidence. Many times the first job is water removal and structural drying in response to the firefighting efforts. Managing the water is necessary to avoid slip and fall and electrical shock risks efficiently resolved with truck-mounted pumps and water extractors.

The soot left on surfaces after a fire varies depending upon characteristics of the materials burned during the event. SERVPRO employees evaluate the coatings, matching cleaning techniques and products to the residues. Care must be taken during cleanup as the byproducts of a fire can be toxic as well as challenging to eradicate entirely from surfaces. Ordinary cleaning approaches can fail to remove the soiling or set and spread stains.

Fire residues are highly acidic and corrosive, causing progressive deterioration. Smoke and soot particles remaining embedded in the building materials or contents etch glass, tarnish metal, discolor plastics, and degrade fabrics and carpeting. SERVPRO experts are trained and familiar with the restoration industry best practices through courses sponsored by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Our crews have the preparation to remove all traces of smoke and soot damage, returning your home and its contents to pre-fire condition.

When faced with visible fire damage to personal possessions many homeowners believe the articles are ruined. Our SERVPRO restoration technicians often transform seemingly destroyed items back to their original appearance and function. Taking advantage of our specialized skills and experience can result in more of your treasured heirlooms, important documents, and household goods and furnishings being returned to you “Like it never even happened.”

One of the most frustrating parts of fire damage restoration is the odors that can linger even after thorough cleaning. SERVPRO employs methods and equipment that neutralize the odor-bearing particles, airborne and ground into surfaces and furnishings. We recreate the environment that developed the smells through thermal fogging or utilizing advanced technology like hydroxyl generators that chemically change the molecules that carry the smell to a non-noxious form.
