Planning Downtown Knoxville Fire Restoration with an Organized Team

Calling for help immediately when a fire engulfs your Downtown Knoxville property is a safety measure and a damage control solution. You can expect a good response from fire departments like Knoxville Fire Department - Downtown HQ, Knoxville Fire Station 9, and Knoxville Fire Station 5 within the CBD limits. You must also plan how to handle repairs and other restoration processes necessary to reinstate preloss conditions. Otherwise, you may find yourself hoping from stores like A G Heins Co. Inc., Knox Rail Salvage - Downtown, or ProSource of Knoxville, trying to piece together tools, materials, and equipment for the task. SERVPRO® is Here to Help® when such misfortune visits you.

Evaluating the fire damage at your Downtown Knoxville premises is crucial in establishing a restoration plan. SERVPRO technicians evaluate different things depending on whether the incident affected prominent properties like the James Park House and Blount Mansion or a unit within an apartment complex like Marble Alley Lofts, Church + Henley, or Marble Alley Lofts. The size of the fire also matters since it influences the spread of smoke residues and the level of material deterioration.

Resources necessary for thorough fire evaluation

• Char gauges
• Moisture sensors
• White sponges 

Fixing the damages caused by a fire is a gradual process that may take days or weeks to complete, leaving room for further deterioration. Finding ways to halt secondary fire damage is critical for a favorable outcome. From the evaluations our SERVPRO technicians do, we identify critical areas that need safeguarding.

Solutions for vulnerable property areas after fire damage

• Roof tarps
• Board ups
• Humidity control

After laying proper groundwork for the restoration, the other tasks like cleanup and repairs are easier to execute. A professional team from SERVPRO also gathers the necessary information to give you the restoration timelines. That way, you can decide whether to take a day off to explore interesting sites within the CBD, including Burn Memorial, East Tennessee Historical Society and Museum, Tennessee Woman Suffrage Memorial, and the Craighead-Jackson House as you cool your nerves or seek longer-term accommodation arrangement since facilities like Residence Inn Knoxville Downtown, Hilton Knoxville, Hyatt Place Knoxville, and the Cook Loft are readily accessible.
