ServiceMaster by PWF Fire Damage Repair Process

Step 1 – Assess the Damage Causes by the Fire

The first step is to assess the degree of damage. An IICRC certified professional from ServiceMaster by PWF will come into your home and examine in detail all the damage sustained to your home or business.

Step 2 – Isolating Unsafe Areas

Unsafe areas will need to be isolated. After a fire is extinguished, it becomes very apparent how much the damage the water used to douse the fire can do. Any dangerous areas will be blocked off, this will prevent them from worsening as time goes on.

Step 3 – Water Removal

The third step in the fire damage repair process is to remove all the water and to dry the areas affected. The longer the water sits and is stagnant, the worse the fire damage can be. It is important to clean up the water as soon as possible.

Step 4 – Smoke and Soot Removal

The fourth step is to remove any smoke and soot damage left behind. It is important to realize that the smoke damage to a home after a fire can certainly be just as bad as the actual fire damage.

Step 5 – Sanitization and Property Cleanup

The fifth step is to sanitize and clean up the property. This is an extremely important step. Hopefully, the fire damage wasn’t bad enough to where you can’t move back in. Making the building livable again will help you regain some normalcy in your life.
