Claymont, DE Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

How Destructive Can Fire Losses Be To Claymont Homes?

As unexpected and traumatic as fire losses can be when you experience them, restoring and recovering your Claymont home does not need to be overwhelming. We are a preferred vendor for local insurance providers throughout Delaware and the Greater Wilmington area, making our SERVPRO team a wise choice to begin damage assessment and documentation to secure claim approval. With historic properties in the Archmere Academy or the Robinson House, this inspection and ultimate restoration are meticulous and intricate.

What Actions Get Taken First to Restore a Fire-Damaged Claymont Property?

While you can depend on the Claymont Fire Co.'s fast response responding from Philadephia Pike, emergency services are still a vital element of recovery. With non-profits in the area like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware, saving money is critical in getting your facility up and running again as soon as possible after an unexpected disaster. Between roof tarping and debris removal, we have multiple actions our professionals can take immediately to limit the severity of loss effects in the building.

What Repairs Are Needed After a Fire?

There are often several layers of reconstruction and repair necessary after a fire. Some needs are glaring, such as discarded drywall or holes in the structure. Public buildings like the Wilmington Montessori School or the Claymont Public Library need this reconstruction urgently. Money and progress with students get lost with prolonged periods away from the building.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

In many fire damage cases, it’s necessary to board up missing windows and walls and to place tarps on a damaged roof. This helps to maintain security and to protect against further damage. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the process or restoring your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve relatively minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and painting, or it could include significant reconstruction of entire rooms.
