SERVPRO Can Help You Plan the Restoration Process to Suit Your Requirements Including Continued Habitation of the Damaged Property.

The combination of financial loss from the damage caused by fire and the hassle of seeking alternative accommodation can make the aftermath of a fire incident in your Syracuse home feel unbearable. SERVPRO has IICRC certified restoration technicians that can help evaluate and carry out emergency procedures that allow you to continue occupying the property during restoration.

Does continued occupation of a house interfere with the restoration of fire damage?

Restoring fire damage in affected North Syracuse homes involves various processes, including: 

• Agitation of surfaces
• Demolition 
• Use of various chemical agents
• Wetting surfaces

Such steps create heaps of debris, release settled debris into the air, and may also produce strong odors. In general, the processes can make it uncomfortable to occupy a house as it is renovated. Also, your presence in the home can limit what restorers can do. If you determine additional living expenses of vacating the property are worse than the discomfort, our SERVPRO technicians can help make your stay more bearable by performing emergency cleaning in some sections of the property to make them "Livable."

Does cleaning alone overcome all the challenges?

Cleaning can remove soot and other soils deposited on surfaces and materials around the house. However, it might not be effective against other aspects such as odors. When our SERVPRO technicians prepare your home for occupation, we can perform other processes like: 

• Deodorization
• Containment
• Laundering clothes  

Deodorization involves the use of specialized agents that neutralize odor molecules, eliminating the strong smells you experience in your house after a fire. Our technicians can fog the rooms you pick as your temporary abode with water-based or oil-based deodorizers. We can also seal off some areas of the house to prevent the spread of materials between the affected and unaffected areas. 

With the right help, the restoration of your fire-damaged property proceeds with ease. Call SERVPRO of North Onondaga County at (315) 457-3432 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
