House Fire Damage, SERVPRO of Tarpon Is Ready To Help

After you have had a fire in your home, there are several steps SERVPRO of Tarpon can take to restore your investment. When we first arrive at your residence after an emergency call, we begin inspecting your entire property for damage. During the first contact with you, we figure out the severity of the damage. We will provide an initial work scope and estimate for you and your insurance adjuster.

During the initial inspection, our SERVPRO of Tarpon estimators will determine which items can be saved. We have to determine how much the items will cost to replace and how expensive it will be to repair. If the costs involved in cleaning or refinishing the item are cheaper than paying to replace it, we mark it on the estimate as something we can save. If repairing the building materials or contents is more expensive than replacing it, then we remove the items.

When dealing with burnt or residue-coated objects, our SERVPRO of Tarpon technicians know that their options are to clean, resurface, or replace the items. Cleaning is the least expensive and quickest restoration option, the object when cleaning is to remove all of the soot residues that exist. Our primary goal is to preserve fabrics or surfaces and return them to their preloss state.

Resurfacing items inside your home is more expensive than cleaning, and it takes more time. Resurfacing can include the refinishing of wood furniture, the re-upholstering of furniture, and possibly the painting of walls and ceilings.

Replacing is the most expensive option and only gets used when the other two methods are either not feasible or not cost-effective. If you have fire damage in your home, call SERVPRO of Tarpon at (727) 934-5555.
