SERVPRO Techs Bring Years of Experience to Falmouth Fire Cleanup

Before the heart of the fire cleanup begins in a Falmouth property, the technicians perform various inspections on articles within the home to ascertain their cleaning potential. This helps technicians to:

• Target areas where smoke residues are within the structure
• Determine if the article can undergo restorative cleaning
• See if the damage or stains occurred due to the fire or were pre-existing

SERVPRO techs inspect before the Falmouth fire damage restoration services begin to gather the information about the unique aspects of the house fire to create an accurate estimate for the property owner. The assessment made during this process includes the list of actions needed to restore the damaged areas within the home to their pre-fire condition, including the option to allow SERVPRO to handle any required reinstallation, rebuilding, or cosmetic touches needed. This location holds a general contractor license #CS-108357 and can work with homeowners from start to finish.

One of the first questions the techs cover with homeowners is to learn if any cleanup has been attempted and, if so, actions taken by the homeowner. During the initial inspection phase of the mitigation service, it is not unusual for the technicians to use this time frame to set up cleaning stations outside the worksite and organize the items from within the structure based on the type of cleaning needed. For example, one area set up by SERVPRO may handle abrasive cleaning while another handles immersive removal of smoke damage from items. 

Depending on the construction materials for the item getting evaluated for cleanings, different kinds of inspection may occur, such as carpet fiber examination for color-fastness and shrinkage. Another would be on countertops to choose cleaners specially formulated for granite or Formica in older properties.
