Why SERVPRO of Alexander & Caldwell Counties Should Clean Your Fire Damage

4/30/2019 (Permalink)

Our team at SERVPRO can respond to any size disaster, such as when we responded to the large fire at Lees-McRae college in 2017!

Fires can be one of the most devastating types of damages we have to clean up. At best, only some structural cleaning is needed; at worst, families are displaced and valuables are lost. Oftentimes, we arrive on the worst day of our customers’ lives. But after 10 years of cleaning and restoring fire-damaged homes, we've learned what it truly takes to make it “Like it never even happened.”

We Preserve Your Valuables

In 2018, a car caught fire inside a garage and ruined the attached home. The family was fortunate enough to escape, but they had to leave their home. What’s worse is that many of their valuables were damaged—some to the point that they seemed unsalvageable. When we arrived, the customers were surprised to learn we had a textiles cleaning facility in addition to our contents cleaning crew. As a result, we were able to save many of their valuables—including their children’s cherished toys. Today, the same family is now back in their home! You can hear about their experience here.

We Can Handle Any Size Disaster

No matter how large and extensive a fire is, our team is capable of cleaning and restoring the affected areas. In 2017, for example, Lees-McRae College had a fire that effectively ruined their athletics building. Of course, with the facility being a crucial part of their operations, they needed it cleaned and restored as quickly as possible. We sent a crew of over 60 people, more than 100 units of equipment, and more than 10 trucks to respond to the disaster. After a few months, we were able to get their building back open!
