SERVPRO not only wants to assist with your fire damage clean up, but wants to insure your safety.

We Want to Help You Every Bit of the Way Through Your Glen Head Home Fire Damage.

Knowing how you and your family should respond to damaging emergencies that occur in your Glen Head home can help to maintain safety during this crisis. It can be easy to become overwhelmed and panicked. Still, a well-rehearsed plan of action can help to protect your property and its occupants. This system of response must include not only the roles of individual family members but also the best solutions for restoring these harmful effects to your house. 

Many effects after an emergency become part of the overall fire damage to Glen Head residences. From soot residues to widespread odors, there are multiple layers of symptoms that must get addressed to return any property to its pre-damaged condition successfully. While the focus of any emergency plan should be the safety of those involved, we at SERVPRO know that there are some things that you can add to protect specific belongings and areas of the property in the earliest stages of recovery. 

Both during and following a fire loss incident, here are some things that our SERVPRO professionals urge focused homeowners to do or consider: 

• Find a safe place where all family members can meet, an adequate distance from the house. 
• Do not make content protection a priority during the fire; get out of the house, and ensure everyone else has. 
• During damage assessment, seal off unaffected or slightly damaged areas of your house to prevent these effects from getting worse. 
• Remove all damaged or compromised contents from your property. Our professionals have advanced tools and equipment for recovering your fire-damaged belongings. 
• Most homeowners are aware of changes to the appearance of their property – these looks can indicate a need for reconstruction, cleaning, or item removal. 

Fire recovery efforts require many different approaches, from extensive cleaning to deodorization. If it ever becomes too much for you to handle or manage on your own, you can count on the fast response and expertise of our SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho specialists.
