Lauderdale, MN Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Many steps and actions are required to restore and recover a fire damaged Lauderdale home after a disaster. As overwhelming as this might initially appear, acquiring talented and experienced professionals like our SERVPRO team can ensure that the appropriate actions get taken immediately to reduce total loss and protect more of your personal belongings and the affected property. Job scoping plays a considerable role in this effort. This allows our project manager to thoroughly inspect the property and determine what restorative actions are required and estimates on time and cost.

The First Mitigation Steps for Lauderdale Homes 

Mitigation is often one of the most vital phases of every restoration project that our team begins. Usually, this process starts with emergency services that proceed even typical mitigative actions. Emergency services are designed to incorporate both the competent technicians on our roster as well as our general contracting division capable of completing several temporary and permanent construction requirements to move the restoration process along. Emergency services can sometimes happen before job scoping as well, and often includes:

  • Roof tarping
  • Board-up
  • Content relocation
  • Fire debris removal
  • Controlled demolition
  • Air quality control

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 determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

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)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

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

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

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.
