Residential fire damage can be devastating, but SERVPRO is here to help.

Has Your Home Experienced a Fire Loss?

Our team at SERVPRO of Southern Rockland County, Stony Point understands how overwhelming a fire loss can be and how difficult it can be to get things back to normal. In most circumstances after the fire has ran its course a home owner would want to get the damaged repaired quickly, but there are a few steps that a person should consider before that. A property owner should contact their insurance company in order for them to determine if the damages will be covered and to get a better understanding of the entire process. The next step one should take is to secure their home.

Securing Your Home

When we say secure your home we don’t mean locking your doors. After a fire depending on the extent of the damage there can be hundreds of access points into the structure. A home owner has to consider all the damage that has been done by the flames, smoke, and the fire department. In order to secure your home, you would need to board up holes, windows, and doors.

Boarding up the structure can be a deterrent for vandals and thieves, making the vacant home a more difficult target. In some cases your insurance company may require it. It helps prevent the elements such as rain, wind, and sun from further damaging the structure. In any fire damage situation, the first thing that should be done before any further mitigation work continues is to cover up all the exposed areas of your home as soon as possible.

Inventory Check

Once your home has be deemed safe to enter, you should make an inventory/contents list. Once that is done SERVPRO technicians can help go over what items you determine to be disposed of and which ones are salvageable.
