The first step to resolving fire damage is calling your local trained professionals at SERVPRO of Northern Staten Island.

We Won't Let Fire Damage Ruin Your Family's Future

A house fire in Staten Island can create terrible destruction in areas without any flames because intense heat can occur without a fire burning in that area. SERVPRO handles all kinds of fire damage, including the restoration of belongings and the rebuilding of structures with our streamlined services.

SERVPRO understands the tremendous and devastating impact a house fire can have on a family in Staten Island. Our fire damage experience can make the aftermath less stressful for your loved ones. Our team shares relevant local resources with families facing disasters affecting their homes, minimizing the event's effect. 

Here are some of the ways we reduce the effects caused by fire:

• Ensuring you make the decisions regarding cherished items
• Cleaning, deodorizing and rebuilding

Floating ash can damage blankets, upholstered furnishings, and plastic toys if it is still hot when it lands on these items. For items that cannot be restored after such damage occurs, we set them aside so you can decide regarding these belongings. We can arrange for specialists to restore things such as electronics, oil paintings, and other fragile belongings. For special mementos, we understand that even in a damaged state, they might still be irreplaceable.

Other steps we take to ensure you and your family can once again call your house 'home' include removing the soot and any destroyed structural elements. Thermal fogging helps eliminate traces of soot and its ability to cause heavy odors. Other methods are used as applicable. The changes we make to your home's interior leave new walls and ceilings where there were once blackened streaks of soot, elevating your hopes for the future and diminishing your family's stress. 

After a fire, call SERVPRO of Northern Staten Island at (718) 750-9455 for the dependable and caring professional restoration team your family deserves.
