Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
We begin our process by inspecting damages. Our goal is to prevent things from getting worse by remediating them. Our next step is to restore your property to its pre-loss condition.
Although full recovery requires different steps depending on the situation, the restoration process generally includes:
-
Identifying the fire's source and type after a careful assessment
-
Assessing the treatment needs of any areas impacted by water from firefighting
-
Remediating water damage if necessary. Taking this precaution will prevent standing water from ruining structures or harboring toxic mold

-
Assessing carpets and flooring for potential removal and refinishing

Inspecting the property's structural stability for safety
-
Removing lingering smoke odors from affected surfaces

-
How much of the home was damaged by fire and smoke.
-
The extent of water damage to your home caused by the firefighting effort.
-

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this covered by my insurance?
- If service is an insurance claim, ServiceMaster Restore generally collects only the deductible amount from you before work begins, and bills the balance to your insurance provider as a service to you. If your project is not covered by insurance or you decide not to file a claim, a payment schedule must be agreed upon before any non-insured work begins.
What should I do right after a house fire?
- The first step is to call 911 to get the fire department out to your house ASAP. Evacuate the home quickly, and ensure that all family members, pets, and any other living beings in the house get out safely. Once you are out of the house, you can contact your insurance company and file a claim for the fire damage. Your insurance company can also help you arrange for us to come out, assess the damage, and begin the restoration process.
