Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Fremont, NE

When fire takes hold within a building, there are several different elements to be aware of that can significantly damage your property and belongings. The most obvious is the fire itself; however, the resulting soot and smoke can sometimes cause just as much, if not more, destruction than the flames. There are even a multitude of harmful chemicals released when certain synthetic materials commonly found in homes are burned. This is why our fire damage restoration services here at ServiceMaster of Fremont address more than simple structural repairs.

In addition to understanding the various detrimental aspects of fire and its byproducts, it is important to understand how critical a timely response is. If you have experienced a fire on your property in Fremont, NE, then it is imperative that you contact our fire damage restoration technicians as soon as possible. The consequences of failing to do so can result in further deterioration and damage to your property, and even pose a significant safety hazard to you and your loved ones if the site is not properly secured.

To prevent permanent damage, wipe off porcelain, Formica, chrome, and aluminum surfaces.
Tape a wet cheesecloth over each supply and return register to filter loose soot from the air.
Replace your furnace’s air filter if it operates with forced hot air.
For professional restoration dry cleaning, save your smoke damaged fabrics and clothing.
