A Team That Reliably Removes Fire Damage in Hartford

SERVPRO is the team that you want to walk you through the fire damage in your Hartford home.

Hartford residents, we will always have your back with your fire damage.

Connecticut homeowners may be aware of the precautions they need to take with space heaters and other fire risks. Still, there are many different circumstances under which fires can occur. Bathrooms, for example, are the origin point of 23% of home fires in the United States. Whether a light fixture or appliance failure catches fire, cleaning up after this kind of disaster can be especially risky. Soot residues in a part of the home that is exposed to so much humidity can turn those residues acidic, corroding plastics and metals alike over time.

If you need disaster cleanup after your Hartford home has suffered fire damage, SERVPRO technicians are ready to come to your home at a moment's notice. Cleanup can start within hours of your call to maximize safety and minimize structural damage to your home. SERVPRO knows that fires can occur at any time of the year. If your home is affected by disaster during the holidays, you can always contact this team for your cleanup needs.

Filing a Claim After Fire Damage

Most insurance policies require homeowners to file claims for fires as soon as possible. After you call, you can be required to submit a "proof of loss claim," which includes a detailed list of lost items and their monetary value. The faster you act, the more quickly you can receive compensation and get contacted by an adjuster.

Be sure to include the following information in your claim:

• When the loss occurred, the type of damage, and its location
• Any related injuries or other people involved
• Condition of the home after the disaster and detailed descriptions of damaged items
• Any temporary repairs made to the residence due to fire
• A copy of a police report

How SERVPRO Restores Your Home

One of the most persistent issues that can come up after a home fire is the spreading of odors throughout the home through the HVAC system. SERVPRO technicians can use commercial-grade equipment for odor control as well as agitating tools to dislodge soils from your vents to minimize the spread of odors.

One of the most effective deodorizing techniques available after a home fire occurs is thermal fogging. Odor Control Technicians (OCTs) can dispense a solvent-based deodorizer as dry vapor, which penetrates surfaces much like smoke does during a fire. Solvents then bind with odor-causing particles to eliminate them. In combination with other measures such as deodorant pellets and odor counteracting beads, there are a plethora of ways to leave your home odor-free once more.
