When SERVPRO technicians handle fire damage cleanup in Wilbraham, safety for all is a concern. During mitigation, the techs boarded up this charred garage to stop unauthorized individuals from entering the property. This action also works to inhibit the spread of soot.

Fire damage at this Northampton home started in the attic. An electrical short was the cause. This view from the kitchen shows where the firefighters broke through the kitchen ceiling to extinguish the fire. SERVPRO of Hampshire County trained and industry certified technicians could remove all of the damaged materials, dry the attic and take care of the smoke stains and odors.

Fire damage in this Phoenix kitchen began on the stovetop. The charred and smoke damaged hood and cabinetry are typical of this type of fire. SERVPRO of Hampshire County has the products and procedures to remediate these types of fire damage situations.

The "soot tags" in this photo are not cobwebs but the result of oily smoke that has contacted a cold surface. The PUFFBACK mess requires professional cleaning to minimize smearing. SERVPRO suggests that local homeowners with oil-based boilers, furnaces or water heaters have then inspected annually before firing them up for the cold winter months. Protect the safety of your family and your property while enjoying a toasty indoor evening in Pittsfield. Remember to call SERVPRO if an incident does occur for professional grade results making you feel "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO advises all our neighbors with oil-fueled heating devices to have each furnace, boiler, or water heater inspected and serviced for top winter-time performance. The "soot tags" shown resulted from a furnace explosion that caused a dirty, sooty PUFFBACK not only here, but throughout several rooms of the Pittsfield home via the ductwork. SERVPRO can clean the oily residue, but typically minor or major demolition may be needed to remove non-salvageable porous building materials like drywall. We have the professional crew to mitigate these smoke-like damages while reducing your costs and working with you and your insurance adjuster to hopefully reach a fair settlement.

The oily residue from this fire in Granby meant a careful wipe down of the coatings on all surfaces. Stains can be exacerbated when homeowners attempt to remove these marks on their own. SERVPRO has the skilled technicians to make "Like it never even happened."

Every fire damage scenario is a little different and demands a unique solution, but the general method stays the same. SERVPRO of Hampshire County is here whenever you need us.
