SERVPRO of Miami Beach Can Rescue North Bay Village from Fire Damage

Fire Damage is Major Damage

Even when a fire doesn’t destroy a building, it leaves behind extensive and expensive damage.  In the U.S., the average cost of home fire damage restoration is $13,761. Public and commercial fires vary too widely for a meaning average, but we have examples. The average warehouse fire causes over $128,000 in property damage alone (not the contents), while fires in other commercial or public buildings cost less.

SERVPRO^® of Miami Beach is a locally owned and operated company. We are experts in restoration from fire damage.

Call us at 305- 532-5411. Our emergency service is available all day, every day (24/365).

Can you save money by doing the restoration yourselves?

Insurance companies, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and realtors say “no”.

The main reason is that professional training and equipment are required to remove soot, smoke damage, odor, and microbial damage thoroughly and safely. If you want to do the job without professional help, you’ll need:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which may include a professionally-fitted respirator
• Professional-grade cleaners and disinfectants for different types of soot and smoke (and ability to identify the types)
• Knowledge and equipment to clean and disinfect structures from other fire-suppression materials
• Ladders
• Tools to measure the amount of moisture hidden in the structure
• Water-evacuation equipment (from fire suppression)
• Large and powerful dehumidifiers and dryers
• Knowledge of how to safely mitigate damage from microbial growth
• Note: The EPA and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires commercial and public buildings to get professional mitigation for any area larger than 9 square feet
• Ozoning equipment to remove – not mask – odors
• Separate cleaners for carpet, upholstery, clothing, wood, leather, paint, ceramic tile, concrete, and linoleum or luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
• Training to assess damage to electrical equipment, electrical wiring, plumbing, foundations, roofs, and HVAC
• Safe containment and disposal of hazardous materials
• Time to document each structural element before, during, and after the cleaning and disinfection

…and that’s Not All!

All of the above is to clean and disinfect the property. Restoration means repainting, reinstalling, and repairing the structure’s elements, and don’t forget that the contents may be damaged as well.

We also work directly with most insurance companies so residents and business owners can concentrate on getting their lives back together.
