Fire Damage in an Augusta Basement

Stored paints and chemicals are often the causes of fires in basements and garages. SERVPRO advises homeowners to always use appropriate containers for these items. The charred beams and joists shown look worse than the actual effects of the fire. Since the charring was less than 1/4," the structural integrity was intact. Our team can use dry ice pellets--ice-blasting--to abraid the charcoaled lumber and floorboards as shown in the After Photo. Of course, we also eliminate the pungent odors caused by the fire. By using advanced equipment paired with our great training and experience, we can save our customers tons of money--we always strive to restore and not replace fire-damaged building materials and contents.
