SERVPRO is your one stop for fire damage restoration services- from debris removal to remodeling.

Because Every Crossville Fire Damage Recovery Project is Different, SERVPRO Evaluates all Circumstances Before Instituting a House Fire Cleanup Plan

Homeowners suffering fire damage in Crossville yearn for a straightforward restoration. SERVPRO professionals taking time to review safety considerations individualized for your home might seem like an unnecessary delay. However, each fire scene is unique, thus missing specific vulnerabilities in your home’s systems and structures can have permanent negative consequences.

What Kinds of Hazards Do SERVPRO Fire Damage Restorers Seek Out and Control?

SERVPRO’s identification of the following fire damage hazards in your Crossville home starts with checking for danger posed by the effects of the fire and its extinguishing. Some professional remediation strategies present additional risks if individuals breathe or touch certain substances: 

• Overhead concerns like partially burned ceilings or structures full of firefighting water ready to collapse
• Electric shock possibilities related to firefighting water intrusion or charring or heat damage to wiring
• Slip, trip, and fall fears because of wet, debris-littered, or fire-weakened floors
• Poorly lit, confined spaces
• Non-workers entering or walking through damaged areas
• Damaged systems, including HVAC ductwork and utility lines
• Hazardous materials ranging from toxic soot residues to asbestos or lead to mold 
• Airborne smoke residues 
• Deodorization treatments such as thermal fogging and ozone

How Does SERVPRO Control for the Above Hazards?

First and foremost, SERVPRO managers and technicians receive and regularly update employee safety training. In addition to learning how to recognize threats to customer and worker safety, the training stresses:

• The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers
• Containment strategies including 1.6 mill polypropylene area wraps and air scrubbers that prevent occupants of a fire-damaged home from encountering water hazards and toxic materials and residues
• Evacuation of treated areas for appropriate times when ozone and foggers operate
