Waterford, CT Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fires can be rapidly developing and destructive to homes and businesses alike, impacting homes for more than 20,000 in Waterford and larger commercial buildings like the Lawrence Memorial Hospital. We can help with all aspects of fire restoration and repair. 

Effective Fire Damage Mitigation in Waterford

Mitigating fire damage means a suitable solution for many pressing threats and concerns that homes experience after extinguishment. Once the house is cleared for entry by first responders, we can work fast to determine the need for helpful actions like:

  • fire restoration
  • water removal services
  • smoke residue removal
  • content relocation

Removing Soot from Surfaces and Contents

Soot deposits present an immediate threat to sensitive surfaces. The acidic composition common to many of these smoke residues can have irreversible effects on the finish of furniture, cabinets, and countertops. Our SERVPRO team quickly removes these threats as fast as possible to protect the underlying substrate and make the overall restoration process more streamlined. 

Deodorization Options for Trapped Smoke Odors in Waterford Homes

Harsh smoke odors are a common threat for homes and businesses following nearly all fires. Removing these formidable malodors is one of the final steps of restoring comfortable living conditions. As such, we arrive with multiple types of deodorizing products and equipment for fast and thorough neutralization of open-air smells and trapped scents in porous materials.
