Fire damage is can cause multiple issues because there are many variables associated with fires. The temperature of the blaze, the extinguishing method used (water and/or agents), structural damage. Water and smoke damage can easily penetrate any crack and crevice on your property. Proper cleaning, immediate neutralizing efforts, proper ventilation, and consistent debris removal efforts are critical to saving as much of the structure and its contents as possible. Timing is the most crucial component of successful remediation project.Not only are the Disaster Remediation Teams at SERVPRO of Natick/Milford faster to any size disaster but their training allows them to assess the damage, plan a course of action, and execute the plan expeditiously. 

Timing Is Everything

The IICRC, a global leader in all types of remediation, identifies these time windows:

1. Within minutes: Porous materials and synthetics must be immediately addressed to prevent permanent discoloration.
2. Within hours to days: wooden furniture, flooring, painted walls, and clothing can become permanently stained. Metal surfaces will begin to rust, pit, and corrode which often requires refinishing or replacement.
3. Within weeks: Prolonged soot exposure will embed itself in the fibers and surfaces resulting in a longer, more pricey restoration with a higher likelihood of replacement.

Fires can strike at any time. When they do call the experts at SERVPRO of Natick/Milford at (774) 290-4300.  We will make it, "Like it never even happened."
