It's never fun to experience a fire loss incident. The damage can range from minor smoke damage to catastrophic structural damage and cause you to lose everything in your home, including sentimental items like photos, treasured heirlooms, and family memorabilia.
One thing that all fire losses have in common is the need for cleaning up after the flames have been put out and the smoke has settled. In almost every single case, the safest and most efficient way to handle a fire cleanup job is by calling your local SERVPRO experts for help. They have the training, experience, and equipment necessary to handle a fire cleanup job of any kind and can go about it safely.
Some belongings can be cleaned and restored
As you deal with the aftermath, remember that your belongings can often be cleaned and restored rather than replaced. For example, if your clothes were in a closet and were protected from fire exposure, then dry cleaning is an option that can remove smoke smell from clothing. Other items may have been affected by smoke or soot but are otherwise salvageable. These items can be cleaned with ultrasonic scrubbers or content cleaning processes at companies like SERVPRO of Colorado Springs Southeast.
