Fixing Fire Damage In Knoxville Is Easier With The Right Resources

It is common to associate fire incidents with activities involving fire considering unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of home fires. However, fires also start from unusual sources. For example, a refrigerator can spark a fire if the compressor overheats when confined in an enclosed space. The good news is that restoring fire-damaged Knoxville properties to preloss state is possible. It only requires the right set of skills, equipment, and other resources.

The resources needed to restore fire damage in Knoxville depend on how intense the blaze was or the materials involved in the combustion process. When caught in time, many fires are extinguished before they consume the entire structure making it possible to save items through restorative cleaning and refinishing. Through simple steps such as checking the smoke deposit patterns, our SERVPRO technicians can establish the impact of the fire and the best remedial action. For example, visible heat lines on the walls indicate a blazing fire. Removing deposits in such incidents requires extra cleaning efforts because of the impingement on the surface.

The location affected by the fire might also affect the restoration process. Fire in the attic is more distressing to homeowners since it is confined to a crawlspace making it hard to inspect the level of damage. The restoration process also involves significant levels of teardown to remove insulation, drywall, and even electrical features affected by the fire. Our SERVPRO technicians handle all the steps, starting with photos to document the level of damage for insurance purposes. We also teardown the affected materials then install new insulation and drywall before repainting or completing other finishing steps.

In many cases, restoring fire-damaged property requires removal of contents from the affected area to another section of the property or a separate storage facility. Moving is a tedious process, especially when everything is covered in soot. Our SERVPRO crews help move items effortlessly because we work as a team. In the case of bulky items, we also have lifting equipment like forklifts.
