Carmel, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

What Should You Do After a Fire in Your Carmel Home?

Many Carmel homeowners might not know the best solutions for restoring their properties after a fire damage incident. With soot on the walls and contents, as well as harsh smoke odors and partially burned structural elements, fire restoration companies like our SERVPRO of Putnam County team are often the best solution. We have experienced professionals capable of helping homes and larger commercial structures like the Putnam Hospital Center or the County government offices on Gables Way. 

Cleaning Up After Property Losses

Debris removal is a critical element to the emergency response our professionals provide. The removal of ash and remnants reduces odors and soot concentrations, making the environment less hazardous for fire restorers. The lessened concentrations also aid in making containment more reliable to keep businesses open in a limited capacity, including larger shopping areas like the Lake Plaza Shopping Center, the Putnam Plaza, and the Carmel ShopRite Plaza. Cleaning in these structures focuses on surface wiping and on-site content recovery with cleaning agents and deodorization equipment.

What Fire Damage Repairs Are Necessary?

With structure fires throughout Putnam County, it can be unlikely to avoid a need for reconstruction or repair entirely. A fast response might limit these needs in historic properties like the Tilly Foster Farm Museum, but fires often require some degree of refinishing, replacement, or reconstruction. We perform these alongside our fire restoration technicians, beginning with mitigation and emergency services.

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)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

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

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
