Fire damage in your Laconia building? No worries, SERVPRO will have you back to a normal business day in no time.

SERVPRO will be there for your Laconia fire damage, give us a call.

Restoration services can provide vital assistance in an emergency property fire. Our role is to provide security both the damaged structure and make it safe for humans to enter. On-call technicians have three main objectives when entering your home. To mitigate against additional damage to the property, to create a safe working environment, and to prepare the site for restoration. By completing these three objectives, we can lower the expense of your claim, mitigate loss, and reduce the amount of disruption to your everyday life. 

Our technicians are on-hand to restore fire damage in your Laconia home and return it to its preloss condition. As a homeowner, you may feel motivated to assist in the cleanup operation, and you can do so by covering furniture to prevent further soot damage, limiting the spread of soots, or emptying the refrigerator contents if the main power supply is shut off. If your heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is active during the fire, you may also want to cover air registers with a cloth and replace the furnace filter. 

Once a SERVPRO technician arrives on-site, they can begin performing primarily inspection of the building. This inspection covers both losses as well as safety concerns. If there is structural damage, we can board up doors or windows to prevent unlawful entry and connect an emergency power supply. Sometimes preliminary drying can be useful in reducing losses associated with water damage, which, if left alone, can deteriorate quickly. Pre-cleaning carpets, acidic soot residues, and furniture can help to remove set soots and reduce the turnaround time of restoration. 

By conducting mitigation tasks as soon as possible, SERVPRO can significantly reduce the risk of permanent damage. In carpeted properties, for example, falling soots can set into the fabric, causing heavy soiling. We can restore these structural components by applying a pre-cleaning shampoo and scrubbing soiling to loosen set debris. Using a Roto machine, SERVPRO technicians can further loosen soot before vacuuming the affected area, applying a rinse solution, and drying the carpet using air moving equipment.

Emergency mitigation can frequently reduce the expense of your claim, contact SERVPRO of The Lakes Region at (603) 527-2518.
