Your Belongings and Fire Damage

Fire cleanup happens in two parts usually, depending on the insurance company. Most insurance companies separate the Structure Restorations and Content Restoration.

Structure Restoration

The drywall, studs, and cabinets are all part of the structure of the home. Because we are General Contractors, we can clean and rebuild your home after fire damages the structure.

Content Restoration

The items in your home that are not part of the structure is known as "Content," and there is a separate insurance plan for content cleanup. In most cases, we remove beds, armoires, and anything else that is damaged and take it to our warehouse to get cleaned. With the content out of the way, we can have a team working on the structure and a team working on the content. We can take care of any home fire quickly this way and make sure that your home is restored "Like it never even happened."

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Cedar City / Fillmore specializes in restoring contents damaged by water, fire, or mold.

Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.

Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning due to fire damage, SERVPRO of Cedar City / Fillmore can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. Move-out will provide several benefits, including:

A quicker remodeling process
Protecting items from potential damage
Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Electronic Cleanup

Fire-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by fire. Smoke residues can contain acids that corrode metal surfaces. If the residues are not removed, corrosion causes electronic failure in the device. We will coordinate the restoration of your electronics, including:

Television sets
DVD players
Computers
And more

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician.

Document / Photograph Drying

When your valuable documents, including photographs, are damaged by water or fire, extreme caution should be taken to help ensure the fire damage does not destroy the document. Although some documents may not be restored to pre-fire damage condition, SERVPRO of Cedar City / Fillmore can save a great deal and help minimize additional damage.

Depending on the type of documents and the level of fire, smoke, or soot damage, they have five options for the restoration of documents:

Air Drying
Dehumidification
Freezer Drying
Vacuum Freeze Drying
Vacuum Thermal Drying
