Forest Hills Gardens, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Whether it is shops and high rises on Queens Blvd or larger nearby institutions like the Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital, fires are not selective with their targets. Many causes can lead to these devastating emergencies, requiring our experienced Fire & Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT) to respond fast to help. 

Can Inspections Help with Fire and Smoke Damage Mitigation?

One of the first efforts completed by our SERVPRO professionals is to inspect the property for structural damage and pressing concerns that should be addressed before other restoration actions. Job scoping compiles data on the condition of exposed contents and building materials to create a restoration plan to suit the property. Our experienced team helps with:

  • Fire damaged homes
  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Smoke remediation

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

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

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)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

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

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

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.
