Fire can strike without warning and take a devastating toll on a home or business.

Because it usually happens suddenly, there is no way to be prepared for the damage caused by a fire. At times like that, you need a name you can trust, and in the Vail, Colorado area SERVPRO is ready to handle all of your fire damage restoration needs in a timely and thorough manner.

Thousands of people come to the Vail area every year to enjoy the natural splendor. From hiking to camping to skiing, there’s something for everyone here.

With destinations like the Sunlight Mountain Resort, there are plenty of ways to take advantage of everything the Vail area has to offer.

Unfortunately, that close access to nature can also leave homes and businesses exposed to the threat of wildfire, and that’s why all residents need to have restoration services they can count on.

What Kind of Damage Can Fires Cause?

When most people think of fire damage, they automatically picture burned and broken surfaces, scorched wood, and melted plastics and metals resulting from the extreme heat caused by flames.

While that’s certainly a big part of the equation, there is much more to fire damage, which needs to be considered when performing the restoration.

In addition to flames, smoke and soot can cause a tremendous amount of damage as well.

Smoke can permeate several surfaces, leaving behind noxious and often dangerous odors.

Depending on the specific type of surface, those odors can be deep-seated, requiring a thorough cleaning process. In some cases, items may be beyond restoring and will, unfortunately, have to be discarded.

At the same time, soot left behind after items burn can also produce a great deal of damage, coming to settle on any number of surfaces from wood and plastic to fabrics.

If it isn’t properly cleaned, soot can become a mess; it can become airborne in ducts and heating systems. Once it permeates the air, soot can end up on your walls, in your craws and cabinets, essentially almost everywhere in your home. It can leave a dirty, dingy look to your entire home. 

Perhaps the greatest factor in fire-related damage is actually water

The water used by firefighters in their efforts to put out the fire can cause more damage to homes, businesses, and belongings than the fire itself, and this damage will need to be carefully addressed to return your property to its previous condition.

 How To Properly Address Fire Damage

Since it’s usually impossible to avoid fire damage, it becomes more important to know how to address the damage once it occurs.

In every case, whether it involves a home or commercial property, speed is a primary concern.

The sooner you begin the restoration process, the better your chances of reversing it and the greater your chances of reducing your overall costs.

At SERVPRO, we understand this need for speed, which is why we will respond within one hour of your original call to begin the process of providing our services.

Within four hours of your call, one of our technicians will be on-site to perform a thorough assessment of your damage and recommend how to proceed. Within eight hours, we’ll supply your adjuster or property manager with a complete verbal briefing.

Of course, you’ll also want to contact your insurance agent and begin the process of filing a claim to get reimbursement for your losses. 

We can help you with that by providing a thorough inventory of all damaged surfaces and belongings so you can be sure nothing is being overlooked.

We can’t guarantee you a reimbursement, but we’ll do everything we can to help make the process that much easier for you.

Once we have determined the exact extent of damage, we can work up a plan to specifically address it so that we can get your home or business back to normal as quickly as possible.

As with all of our restoration services, our goal is always to make it “Like it never even happened,” and we’ll make every effort to reach that point, guiding you along the way step by step.

When Fire Strikes Call The Professionals

The aftermath of a fire can leave you in a state of shock and confusion, and that can make it hard to figure out what to do. That’s when it’s most important to call the professionals. We understand what it takes to restore your property after a fire, and we have the training and equipment to handle the job efficiently, making all the difference.

We’ll begin with pre-testing all surfaces and items to determine exactly what can be restored and what will have to be discarded.

Once we begin the actual restoration process, we’ll employ the latest techniques learned through our expert training as well as high-tech equipment designed specifically to treat the kind of damage caused by fires.

Our specialized Ultra Low Volume (ULV) and Thermal foggers can help remove all hazardous odors from any surface type. In contrast, our industrial vacuums with HEPA filters can remove all water and help mitigate mold growth.

Air movers and dehumidifiers will thoroughly dry out your home, and we’ll even employ specialized techniques where necessary to address any belongs that we deem salvageable.

After the work is over, we’ll give you a complete walkthrough of the property to ensure that you are delighted with everything we’ve done.

Along the way, we can help you generate comprehensive room-by-room inventories to make the process of filing an insurance claim that much easier.
