After an emergency fire, it can seem hopeless to look at the destruction. As a homeowner, you might wonder where to start.

Although a disaster can be crippling, the fire restoration process in your Germantown residence does not have to be. We can work with your insurance company and provide a rapid and accurate assessment of the destruction for repair. Our SERVPRO technicians can assess which items can be salvaged and which ones require replacement. After the inspection, we can also determine what equipment, technology, and products to use during the restoration process. The fire restoration process differs based on the severity of the damage, the type of property, and the amount of time that has elapsed since the fire. We can take the following steps to assess and repair your property.
- Debris removal
- Soot, smoke, and dust cleanup
- Move out services
- Deodorization
The soot and smoke damage that fires often produce speed up the corrosion and deterioration of the structures and contents of a building. The water or dry chemicals that firefighters use to extinguish fires can compound the problem. Furthermore, fires leave behind a toxic smoke odor that needs to be neutralized and deodorized. SERVPRO’s effective response can stabilize your property quickly to ensure the recovery of as many contents as possible.
If there is water damage, our SERVPRO team can remediate it using water extraction, air moving, and dehumidification equipment. If there is difficult soil or heavy grease on certain areas, we can use heavy-duty cleaners to remove them. Typically, they are highly alkaline solutions containing ammonia. We mix them with warm water for general purpose cleaning.
