Buffalo Grove, IL Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

While current residents did not live through the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that would claim nearly three and half square miles of the cityscape, the metropolis and suburbs like Buffalo Grove can appreciate how severe fire damage incidents can become. From institutions in the community like Stevenson High School and Buffalo Grove High School, we can accommodate large loss events in these buildings with prompt restoration solutions as well for:

  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Fire damaged homes
  • Smoke remediation
  • Fire damage restoration

The Initial Stages of House Fire Clean Up for Buffalo Grove Properties

Fire mitigation services often target the most pressing concerns in area homes, such as smoke damage and structural vulnerabilities after fire exposure. The longer these effects go unchallenged and unresolved, the worst they can become. Odors and particles spread through HVAC systems and other pathways to overwhelm more of the household or business. House fire clean up services hinge on the initial mitigation actions to filter air and remove fire debris. 

How Does SERVPRO Rebuild Fire Damaged Homes in Buffalo Grove? 

Reconstruction is often necessary after a fire damage incident and smoke damage, even with a smaller flare-up instance isolated to the kitchen fixtures like cabinets and countertops. Controlled demolition is possible with our general contractor license, allowing us to complete the repairs and reconstruction necessary after building materials get removed.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
