Bedford, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fires can be destructive and widespread, even more so in larger structures like the Bedford Free Library and the homes in our neighborhoods like Katonah and Bedford Hills. We have effective fire mitigation solutions to protect what matters most. 

How Can SERVPRO Mitigate Damage After Bedford Housefires?  

Mitigation is vital in almost every damage scenario. These efforts protect the property and its contents from greater harm and damage by implementing immediate strategies to make the house safer for the restoration efforts to come. Some of these initial actions taken can include: 

  • content relocation
  • fire restoration
  • water removal services
  • air filtration
  • smoke residue removal 

Soot Removal Options for Bedford Homes 

After a fire is extinguished, one of the more challenging restoration hurdles is removing the smoke and soot deposits on surfaces and contents. This process begins with finding suitable methods of loosening the grip on these surfaces with solvents and water-based cleaners. Wet and dry cleaning solutions are often necessary for various materials throughout the household.  

Overcoming Harsh Odors in Bedford Residences  

Odors are a traditional effect of threatening fire damages. Because combustion can occur with several types of materials like fuels, plastics, and chemicals, these odors can be unbearable for the homeowner in many situations. Our experienced Odor Control Technicians (OCT) have trusted strategies to reduce and ultimately remove harsh smells from the environment.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

In many fire damage cases, it’s necessary to board up missing windows and walls and to place tarps on a damaged roof. This helps to maintain security and to protect against further damage. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
