When a fire rips through your home in Davidson County, North Carolina, viewing the aftermath can feel overwhelming. From charred belongings smoke damage, and flooding caused by fire hoses, you may need help knowing where to begin cleanup efforts. Calling in a professional fire restoration company, like SERVPRO of Lexington/Thomasville, can ease your troubles. Our experienced technicians will take several steps to restore your property.

STEP 1: MITIGATION

Once your home has become safe to enter, SERVPRO of Lexington/Thomasville's restoration techs will survey the property. Our technicians make it their priority to take immediate action to help prevent further damage and help you save time and money during the cleanup effort. This process may include draining away standing water left behind by fire hoses to lower the risk of mold growth and examining the degree of soot damage to your belongings. Then you can begin salvaging essential items and setting aside those you want to preserve.

STEP 2: SOOT REMOVAL

Soot can stain building materials, furniture, and other objects in your home. Your restoration professionals may use a variety of techniques to clean each room and remove soot from places brooms, and small vacuum cleaners may not reach. They may also use commercial-grade cleansers on surfaces where the soot is incredibly thick.

STEP 3: SMOKE ODOR REMOVAL

One of the most challenging problems you might face in the aftermath of a fire is the removal of soot, a black substance containing carbon materials. Stains and stubborn odor can linger for weeks after a house fire. SERVPRO of Lexington/Thomasville can eliminate these odors with air-cleaning ozone machines that trap and remove odor-causing molecules instead of simply masking their smell.


Facing the damages caused by a fire at your Davidson County home can feel like the end of the world. Calling SERVPRO of Lexington/Thomasville to assist you with the cleanup process can help offer you peace of mind as you move ahead with plans to restore and rebuild.
