Commercial fire damage can certainly slow down your business. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 to assess and remediate the damage in your shop.

Fire Restoration Requires Efficient Cleanup of Inventory in Carol Stream Stores

Fires can occur from multiple sources, making them highly disruptive and destructive, regardless of their size. Protecting what matters most means employing skilled and experienced SERVPRO professionals to quickly assess the damage and calculate the appropriate restoration response.

Scoping the Damage

Pre-job scoping means more than evaluating the need for fire restoration in Carol Stream shops. While inspections can help to catalog impacted structural elements and the migration of fire loss effects, it is also an avenue to document damage and marring of contents. For a shop, the wares are the foundation of the business, so careful considerations must be made into:

• Salvageability – this means understanding the likelihood that even advanced restoration and recovery strategies would yield positive results.
• Physical Damage – this goal is to learn how fire has physically impacted the item's appearance, including soot damage or blistering.
• Secondary Damages – these effects can ruin contents but can be resolved without often impacting the aesthetics.

On-Site Cleaning and Relocation

After determining the extent of the damage, SERVPRO technicians must determine how restoration is possible. Relocation, for example, protects at-risk contents from soot, odor, and water damages common after a fire. On-site cleaning is reserved for light smoke damage manageable without sophisticated tools or approaches.

Move-Out Service

Advanced cleaning and focused restoration attention for objects and items from your shop are possible. In many cases, any degree of damage is considered a loss for the recognizable franchise stores, but there might be more of an urgency to recover even deeply damaged inventory at our nearby SERVPRO facility rather than suffer the investment loss.

Fire restoration must often include specific steps and strategies to protect the wares and inventory of the damaged shop or boutique. Our SERVPRO of Carol Stream / East Bloomingdale team can determine if contents can be salvaged and what restoration strategy might work.
