Your Belongings and Fire Damage

Fires can cause smoke and soot damage affecting the structure and contents inside of your home or business. Our SERVPRO Fire Division specializes in categorizing and cleaning contents affected by smoke and soot damage.

All affected parts of a structure will be assessed for damage and cleaned according to the extent of the damage. We use a variety of cleaning techniques for fire damaged properties, including dry and wet cleaning, as well as utilizing foam, abrasive and immersion cleaning techniques. We can also provide power washing for the outside of the structure.

We understand how detrimental it is to get back to business as soon as possible. Also, If your home is facing damage we know your family’s furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other belongings make your house more than a structure; they make it home so we will do everything in our power to get you and your family back in your home.

In order to properly restore your home, a temporary move-out may be required. We'll also carefully clean and restore your electronic devices which require specialized methods to remove smoke and soot. If you have important documents that need restoring, we can do that too. 

SERVPRO is committed to restoring as much of your belongings as possible after a fire, so we take the time to inventory everything, ensuring that all that can be restored, is.

If you've fallen prey to a fire, contact SERVPRO of Aurora today.

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning due to fire damage, SERVPRO of Aurora Central can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. Move-out will provide several benefits, including:

  • A quicker remodeling process
  • Protecting items from potential damage
  • Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Electronic Cleanup

Fire-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by fire. Smoke residues can contain acids that corrode metal surfaces. If the residues are not removed, corrosion causes electronic failure in the device. We will coordinate the restoration of your electronics, including:

  • Television sets
  • DVD players
  • Computers
  • And more

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician.

Document / Photograph Drying

When your valuable documents, including photographs, are damaged by water or fire, extreme caution should be taken to help ensure the fire damage does not destroy the document. Although some documents may not be restored to pre-fire damage condition, SERVPRO of Aurora Central can save a great deal and help minimize additional damage. 

Depending on the type of documents and the level of fire, smoke, or soot damage, they have five options for the restoration of documents:

  • Air Drying
  • Dehumidification
  • Freezer Drying
  • Vacuum Freeze Drying
  • Vacuum Thermal Drying
