SERVPRO of Woodbury, Cottage Grove knows the difficulties a fire can bring to the table, let us help.

Understanding the type of fire damage mitigation improves restoration time for Cottage Grove homes.

When our team is notified about a fire damage incident, we begin putting a crew of competent professionals together to await clearance to enter the property. Our initial actions here dictate the pace and cost of the entire restoration process. 

Why Are Emergency Services Needed?

Emergency services are crucial after fire damage in Cottage Grove homes and businesses, specifically because of the ability to reduce the health and safety hazards of the property. Using a combination of our talented FSRT-certified technicians and our general contractor license, we can complete several needed efforts to protect the property after fire losses.  

What Do These Actions Entail? 

Making fire damages “Like it never even happened,” for homes and businesses means taking the necessary steps early to prevent costlier and more dangerous conditions. Before even mitigation starts, much of the first actions ensure that these processes occur without resistance and opposition. Some of these include:

• Board-up– Our general contractor license proves useful to seal over structural vulnerabilities and holes created during the fire or the extinguishment process.  
• Extraction- Fire suppression for residences typically involves high volumes of water, which can, in turn, require extraction and drying.
• Temporary Power– Often, our team arrives with trailered generators to ensure that we have available power distributed through spider boxes in the residence. This electricity is needed to run many restoration tools in our inventory.
• Debris Removal– This process involves discarding smoke-damaged materials, ash, and blistered construction elements.

Initial services play a crucial role in mitigating losses after a fire. Our swift actions and experience with fire and smoke recovery solutions allow us to better protect a damaged structure and contents.
