Factors that Determine A Fire Damage Estimate

If you experience a fire damage, call SERVPRO of Northwest Stark County to help cleanup and restore your Massillion, Ohio.

Five factors that contribute to a fire remediation estimate 

1. Board-up & Roof Tarp Services

Mitigation is one of the earliest expenses to a fire restoration effort. A restoration company from Massillion, Ohio will come out immediately to your home or business and help you determine the scope of loss. Plywood is used to cover most vertical holes in your structure, and tarps are used to cover large holes in your roof. Depending on the extent of the damage and if water is used by the fire department, mitigation work may be required.

2. Security & Fencing

Another aspect of the mitigation process is the protection of your property from intruders and animals. Commercial property owners feel better if the fence is at least put around the facility.

3. Waste & Damage Removal

The next expense to consider in the estimate is the removal of damaged materials. SERVPRO crews will get to work pulling out water damage carpeting, smoke damage walls and insulation. Beyond the removal, and extensive cleaning will start after the debris is removed.

4. Reconstruction

Rebuilding your property is the final expense. The company you hire will inspect and assess the structure and integrity of the building. Everything will be reinforced, and the crew will replace all damaged areas of the building. When complete, your property will look as it did before the fire.

5. Insurance

Your insurance policy will inevitably help to reduce the expense of the fire restoration, but there are too many variables to consider specifying how much the insurance will cover. The best thing is to contact your insurance agent.
