When an unexpected fire strikes, the damage can seem overwhelming. That's why SERVPRO of Lowell is here to restore your house. Call us now!

House fires are perhaps one of the scariest experiences that any homeowner can suffer through. The sheer amount of damage and the serious danger that they pose to your family can keep you up at night.

While it can be an overwhelming experience while it is happening, it can also seem insurmountable when you are standing in your fire-damaged home after the flames are out. 

That’s where SERVPRO of Lowell comes into play! Our fire damage restoration team will handle your entire recovery from start to finish with confidence. 

Our First Conversation
Once the fire is out and the authorities leave, get us on the phone right away. We are here 24/7, and someone will always be there to answer your call. 

We will first identify the emergency contact for the project and then we will start asking questions about the origin of the fire and the extent of the damage. This helps us create our recovery plan more extensively, and it can give us a heads-up as to what we will see when we arrive for our visual inspection.

While you are waiting for us to arrive, stay calm and be cautious about walking around your property. Take note of any damage you see by taking photos, noting that some damage may have occurred that wasn’t originally caused by the fire. Water damage is also a common part of any insurance claim after a fire because of the chemical agents and water used to put the fire out.

Removing the Damage

Once we arrive, we will assess the damage and create a recovery plan tailored to your home’s specific needs. We will work on pulling out damaged debris while also tackling soot and smoke damage. 

We will go from room to room assessing the extent of the damage because smoke can travel to areas of your home that were never touched by the flames. 

After the debris is gone, we will get to work cleaning your entire space. This will include water extraction and the drying of your possessions as well as documenting all possessions and addressing damage for salvageable furniture and other keepsakes. We have special upholstery and fabric cleaning techniques that allow us to clean your fragile materials without damaging them any further.

Rebuilding Your Home
The damage has been done, there is no doubt about that. However, we can reverse that damage quickly and return your home to its preloss condition quickly! 

Our team can rebuild entire sections or levels of your home, but we are also trained to handle smaller, more intricate restoration projects like rebuilding cabinets or rebuilding ruined walls.  We will make sure every inch of your home overcomes the fire damage, soot and smoke that is left behind. 

We are here to help you overcome fire damage. Contact SERVPRO of Lowell for immediate assistance.
