How Easily a Fire Can Start

A few short weeks ago, an Evans home experienced an extensive house fire. The fire occurred after an unwatched, rouge burn barrel overturned and crept to the home’s wooden staircase. The elderly couple occupying the home exited safely, but the devastation of the fire seemed insurmountable. To restore what the fire had left behind of their home and belongings, SERVPRO got a call to help. The couple called our Evans team to begin an assessment of the home and identify methods to safely restore the property in a timely manner.

Road to Recovery

Crews began restoring their property, beginning with removing salvageable contents such as textiles, sentimental items, and furniture. Next, the crews began restoring the structure. This restoring process entails assuring that the structure was safe to enter and undergo the restorative process of removing water-soaked items and wet sheet rock from when the fire department / first responders arrived on-site to extinguish the blaze. After this process is complete, our textile experts begin organizing all the contents and determine which textiles can be salvaged using the Esporta Wash System at operated at our Evans office. Later, these contents are stored at our facility for safe-keeping until the home is ready to receive them.
