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.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

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)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

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.
