When a major fire strikes a commercial building, the aftermath can be overwhelming for property owners and tenants alike. Businesses are disrupted, livelihoods affected, and physical spaces damaged. At SERVPRO®, we specialize in helping businesses recover by offering a comprehensive suite of fire damage restoration services tailored to the unique needs of commercial properties. Here’s a look at how we assist in every phase of the recovery process—from handling claims to reconstruction.

1. Navigating Insurance Claims for Tenants and Owners
One of the first and most critical steps after a commercial fire is managing insurance claims. Fire damage impacts both the building owner and individual tenants, each with unique policy considerations and property interests. SERVPRO’s team is experienced in coordinating with various insurance providers, making the claims process as streamlined as possible.

- **Individual Claims Management:** We work directly with insurance adjusters for each tenant and the property owner, providing detailed documentation of the damage, restoration plans, and progress updates. This proactive approach ensures all parties have the information they need to facilitate quicker settlements.
- **Transparent Communication:** Our team serves as a single point of contact to simplify communication for both owners and tenants, reducing confusion and helping all parties stay informed on timelines and next steps.

2. Comprehensive Content Cleaning and Storage

After a fire, smoke and soot can penetrate surfaces, fabrics, and sensitive equipment, leaving items unusable. SERVPRO's content cleaning and storage services are designed to restore items that can be saved while securely storing belongings until the property is ready for their return.

- **Content Inventory and Pack-Out:** We start with a thorough inventory and pack-out of all affected items. Using our advanced tracking system, we catalog each item and identify those in need of cleaning, repair, or replacement.
- **Specialized Cleaning Techniques:** From furniture and electronics to important documents and machinery, our highly trained technicians use specialized techniques to deep-clean, deodorize, and restore items to preloss condition.
- **Secure, Climate-Controlled Storage:** While restoration and reconstruction are underway, your belongings are stored in secure, climate-controlled facilities to prevent further damage.

3. Restoration and Smoke Damage Remediation
Once the initial cleanup is complete, the focus shifts to the physical restoration of the property. This stage involves repairing fire-damaged structures, cleaning up smoke and soot, and addressing water damage that may have occurred due to firefighting efforts.

- **Structural Cleaning and Restoration:** SERVPRO’s team uses industrial-grade cleaning agents and equipment to remove soot and smoke residues from walls, ceilings, and floors. We also handle any necessary repairs to damaged surfaces, ensuring that the building is both safe and aesthetically restored.
- **Odor Removal:** Smoke odors can linger long after a fire. Our technicians use specialized equipment such as air scrubbers, thermal foggers, and ozone generators to neutralize odors at their source, leaving a fresh and clean-smelling environment.

4. Full-Service Reconstruction
In severe fire events, some areas of the property may require more extensive repairs or rebuilding. SERVPRO’s reconstruction team is equipped to handle everything from minor repairs to major reconstruction, making it easier for businesses to return to normal operations.

- **Licensed Contractors and Trusted Vendors:** SERVPRO partners with experienced contractors and trusted vendors to manage the full scope of your rebuilding needs. From new drywall and painting to structural repairs, we ensure high-quality work that meets all safety standards.
- **One-Stop Solution:** By offering both restoration and reconstruction, SERVPRO simplifies the process, reducing downtime and avoiding the complications that come with coordinating multiple vendors.
