When fire happens in your shop, you need to call the technicians at SERVPRO.

Fire Restoration Begins with Mitigative Steps

Emergency services are critical in protecting your business from greater restoration expenses and structural damage. The fast movement of our SERVPRO team is meant to:

• Prevent fire and smoke damage from impacting more of the property
• Make the work site safer for responding professionals or traffic
• Set the stage for mitigation and restoration work to get started

Evaluating Structural Damage

The first and most important emergency service for fire restoration in Queens shops and stores is determining the safety of those exposed. Structure fires weaken building materials and create volatile conditions, so we must conduct any demolition or repairs to protect those in the building or our incoming restorers.

Establishing Temporary Power

Commercial restoration requires a good amount of electricity, especially with the most powerful tools requiring a stable power source. We can provide temporary power for Large Loss recovery like our trailered generators. 

Initial Cleaning of the Structure

Sometimes early cleaning efforts can be of benefit to the property. Wares being cleaned right away can help reduce the investment loss the business owner might experience, for example. Acidic residues can also get removed to prevent corrosion of underlying host elements.

Water Removal Services

Another emergency service that SERVPRO must implement is removing water to extinguish the fire. Whether that was the sprinkler system in the store or additional water introduced by first responders to overcome the blaze quickly, any extra moisture and standing water amplified the difficulty of cleaning soot and smoke damage effects in the structure.

Emergency services are one of the many elements to successful fire restoration for your store. Our SERVPRO of Forest Hills / Ridgewood team can help businesses ahead of disasters by establishing a free tool called the Emergency Ready Profile that designates our talented team as your restoration choice.
