Let your local SERVPRO of South Miami professionals resolve your fire damage problems.

Fire Restoration Includes Content Management 

To many homeowners, the property's contents are as important as the structure itself. Our restoration services often focus on appropriate actions to protect personal belongings and loose contents within a household. When our technicians arrive at a damaged home, specific efforts help protect these objects or relocate them to our facility for focused cleaning.

Pre-Job Inspection 

Fire restoration for South Miami homes and businesses relies heavily on the data collected during pre-job inspections of the property. It is necessary to define the impact of fire on the structure, and what potential damage exists with the house's contents. Both the combustion process and extinguishment can severely damage items, including:

• Soot damage
• Smoke solids
• Offensive odors
• Water damage
• Blistering/charring

Unsalvageable Materials 

The inspection process can identify what items in your home cannot be restored. Salvageability is an important distinction, as we must safely discard these items and catalog this loss as part of the complete estimation and findings for the insurance company. Our full evaluation of the property is a helpful tool in promoting fast damage claim approval.

Cleanable Contents

SERVPRO technicians will determine that some contents and personal belongings can get cleaned after fire loss effect exposure. When this can occur inside the house, it is the most desirable outcome. House occupants can access these items, and less loss is documented and claimed.

Relocation Required 

Our cleaning technicians must also determine when more complex restoration solutions are necessary. We can provide deep cleaning options, including deodorization and abrasive surface treatments, at our SERVPRO facility. When restoration is complete in the house, professionals can return these contents to their original positions.

It is important to preserve contents as effectively as we work to protect the structure involved in a fire. Our SERVPRO of South Miami is ready to help 24/7 after fire losses when you call (305) 269-8900.
