For a Quick, and Safe Return to Your Glen Cove Home After a Fire, Call SERVPRO

Why SERVPRO? 

SERVPRO restoration teams train extensively to remediate fire damage in Glen Cove homes. Our teams respond faster than many other agencies, so our work starts before other companies can even arrive at your home. 

The Damage Looks Pretty Bad, What Happens First?

The team leader identifies every item too damaged to repair or restore and determines the shortest path out of your home. Specialists then lay down plastic sheeting to avoid crushing soot and other burned particles into the carpets and flooring. As they remove all of the debris (paper, furniture, appliances, etc.), the team leader examines the structure (walls, floors, and ceilings) for damage. 

Here, the team takes on multiple tasks to reduce the overall time in your home. As several specialists begin demolition efforts of property near the origin point of the fire, others start cleaning efforts in rooms and hallways where the only effects of the fire damage are the smoke and soot particles left as the fire cooled and stopped. Specialists start with dry sponges to remove much of the particles left by the fire and then move on to cleaning agents and soft brushes to break up thicker layers of soot for removal without harming either personal or structural property. 

Can The Restoration Teams Rebuild My Home?

For much of it, yes. Our SERVPRO office has trained carpenters on staff. After demolition, our team can install new support structures, to include wall framing, hanging new drywall, and even replace load-bearing walls in some homes. The team leader makes certain that all work meets not just your approval, but meets the requirements of city, county, and state building codes as well. 

To get started immediately, call SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho at (516) 671-1919 today. We are here to put you back into your home as soon as we can do it.
