Fish Hawk Attic Fire Damage Restoration Services

Attics are highly vulnerable to home fires, especially if electrical and HVAC systems are located in areas prone to dust and high temperatures. These fires are often among the most damaging for Fish Hawk residences because they can impact ventilation, roofing, and interior structural materials and contents.

SERVPRO residential fire damage restoration for Fish Hawk properties returns homes to a pre-disaster state. With specialized tools and proprietary solutions, trained technicians can mitigate water damage, microbial growth, and soot and soils from fire damage.

Restoring attic structural materials with SERVPRO tools

SERVPRO technicians can remediate fire damage with a combination of:

• Soot cleanup
• Debris removal
• Containment measures
• Water removal when needed before fire cleanup
• Odor control and sanitation

Attic fires often require extensive cleanup due to the likelihood of potential roof damage and damage to floors below. HVAC is often filled with soot and fire-related residues from burnt material, which can smear without proper cleanup. SERVPRO can inspect HVAC while forming a restoration plan to ensure that indoor air quality is restored.

The extent of a property's restoration needs depends on the attic's contents. An area filled with exposed unfinished wood framing and insulation can absorb excessive amounts of soot that is unlikely to be completely removed. However, technicians can apply solutions like abrasion cleaning on heavy char and seal the framing to prevent further stains and odors. Insulation's efficacy is often compromised after a fire and may require replacement.

Attic contents are often restorable, but some items may require replacement. Salvageable contents can be inventoried and moved offsite for restoration in a designated SERVPRO warehouse. Technicians can also perform boarding, tarping, and other necessary services to keep the structure safe during mitigation.
