When it comes to fire damage, one thing is absolutely certain: no two scenarios are alike.
Every fire is unique in its cause, composition, size, and waste; some fires can involve more than 100 complex chemical reactions! How these factors combine together will affect how the fire damage restoration is conducted.
At ServiceMaster by Disaster Recon, we offer Free Estimates for homeowners and property managers interested in restoring their fire-damaged home or business.
Each estimate includes a written quote, a professional inspection from our company, and an on-site consultation where we address any questions you may have.
Fire damage restoration is a multi-phase process, and it's vitally important that the process begins within hours of the damage.
Mold damage can begin in as little as 24 hours after saturation of building materials. This damage can affect all organic surfaces, and can be much more expensive than the fire damage itself. Waiting even a single day to begin can greatly compound the damage, cost, and restoration time needed.
We specialize in fire damage restoration and repair, which includes repairs for fire-related damages like smoke damage restoration and soot damage repair. We serve Akron, Cleveland, Canton, Medina and many nearby areas in and around the Northeast Ohio area and other parts of Ohio.
HVAC System Warning!
Fire damage in your home leads to smoke and soot that gets into every nook and cranny of your home.
Tiny particles that ended up in your HVAC system during the fire can lead to irritation in your lungs and possible scarring of the alveoli. Have an HVAC professional inspect your system after any fire.
Homeowners and business owners are often anxious to begin the cleaning and restoration process immediately after the fire has been eliminated. However, unless they seek professional advice, they may be doing much more harm to the structure than good.
Our disaster restoration professionals are fully trained to address the fire damage in your home and create a plan that will eliminate odors and damage, restore your salvageable property, and minimize future disaster restoration damages to your home.
