Trained SERVPRO Technicians Arrive Quickly to Deal with the Aftermath of a Fire

Outdoor fun with fireworks transforms to tragedy when fires start because of stray launchings or improper disposal of spent sparklers or bottle rockets. Fireworks sent skyward come down even several blocks away and can ignite roofs, without the owners having any idea they were in danger. No matter the cause, SERVPRO helps restore buildings damaged by fire.
 
Family and friends set off fireworks for the fourth, including intensely hot sparklers thrown in a trashcan near the patio door. The ensuing blaze caused fire damage to the hallway and kitchen your Noble house. We arrived shortly after the fire trucks departed, true to our 24/7 promise.
 
The first task was to secure the back of the house with boards and tarps. The fire burned fast and hot, and the firefighters opened up an exterior wall to get more room to get water into the kitchen. Our SERVPRO project manager makes sure the HVAC system is switched off and vents covered to prevent more spread of soot and smoky odor. The stability of the floors and stairway is established and cleanup begins.
 
Water knocked down the fire, and we extract as much as possible right away. Water damage is almost always a subcategory of fire damage, and removing it is crucial to avoid secondary harm like mold growth or disintegrating walls, ceilings, or floors. Our technicians remove the charred part of the structure and evaluate the consistency of the sooty residue near the blaze. A plan for cleaning the residue throughout the house includes matching methods and cleaning products with the type of debris -- sticky and thick near the epicenter, lighter and dry in remote rooms.
 
The SERVPRO fire damage crew moves systematically throughout the house, cleaning per the training each employee receives before his or her first job. Your insurance company is pulled into the loop to be certain claims presented have supporting evidence. We also work with you if you prefer to do some of the inventorying and cleaning of personal products, according to our experience and advice.
 
Restoration is always SERVPRO’s focus, but we rip out and replace unsafe structures and dispose of destroyed belongings. All deliberate speed is crucial as ash and soot corrode and discolor any articles in their paths. Removing burned up items is the first step in odor control, and our deodorization specialists finish the restoration hours or days after our first response through a series of techniques that eventually neutralize the tiny particles floating in the air, carrying the smoky smell.
 
Fast, professional, and thorough, SERVPRO of Norman partners with homeowners to put this mid-summer fire behind you. Call (405) 292-0808 when the authorities release the house for restoration assessment so we can get the ball rolling.
