Your Business After a Fire

9/19/2022 (Permalink)

Presentation is important for any business, and doubly so in the service sector. If you own or manage a store or restaurant, your customers will likely be discouraged or even scared off by obvious signs of damage and visual blemishes on your property. SERVPRO knows first-hand that the most thorough visual damages to a building can come from fires, whether through the burn itself or any associated events and factors. These blemishes and issues are commonly cleaned up by our restoration teams, to ensure that once a company's doors re-open, they stay open.

 
Burn Marks 
 
When a fire has affected an area, burns and char easily rank among the most visible types of commercial fire damage to any observer. Blackened or darkened materials, even if they have no other major damage beyond discoloration, reparation can still be time sensitive, often requiring a wide cleaning and repainting job to make sure colors blend well and no burn material remains. 
 
Smoke and Ash 
 
Smoke and ash leave a profound impact on a building to both the sight and smell of anyone nearby. Smoke is a pervasive scent and easily noticeable in most cases but can heavily coat and smear surfaces. Depending on the type of smoke and conditions of a fire, this may be a relatively easy clean-up, or thorough repainting may be necessary. 
 
Structural Damage 
 
SERVPRO can also help to restore mild structural damage caused by a fire such as rebuilding walls, floors, supports, and other building elements if they have been burned through or collapsed on. We always aim to restore before replacing and in this way can potentially save you thousands in unnecessary reconstruction costs.
