Fires can cause extensive damage to properties in several ways. Effective fire restoration in Seal Beach involves several steps to ensure a property is safe and thoroughly restored. SERVPRO professionals thoroughly assess the affected areas, identify safety hazards, and determine the scope of work needed. To prevent unauthorized access and safeguard against further damage or potential theft, we board up windows, doors, or other openings that have been compromised during the fire or firefighting process.

Issues to examine include

• Structural damage
• Smoke damage
• Content damage

Dealing with Water Damage after a Fire Incident 

Water damage in a fire situation typically occurs due to the efforts of firefighting teams to extinguish the flames. For example, water conducts electricity, so if water comes into contact with live electrical wires affected by the fire, it can cause electrical shorts, sparks, or even electrocution, further exacerbating the situation. Water damage can be seen on various materials, such as wood, paper, or fabrics, making them more challenging to manage.

Additional steps for effective fire damage restoration

• Water extraction and drying
• Smoke and soot removal
• Content cleaning and restoration
• Structural repairs and reconstruction

Items within the house can be damaged by the flames, heat, smoke, or water used to extinguish the fire. SERVPRO may offer pack-out services, where salvageable items are carefully packed and transported to external facilities for cleaning, restoration, and storage. This helps protect items from further damage during the restoration process. For cleaning and repair, we employ various techniques. We may use techniques like dry, wet, immersion, or specialized cleaning agents to remove soot, smoke odor, and other residues.
