SERVPRO Capitalizes on Resource Availability to Resolve Norwich Fire Damage Incidents Faster

Since fire causes immediate and continued financial loss, resolving an incident in good time helps. Some factors that extend fire loss include secondary damages or extra costs such as seeking alternative accommodation or keeping items at a storage facility. Your plans for the timely restoration of your Norwich home can hit a snag when unforeseen challenges hinder the restoration process.

The solutions that overcome fire restoration challenges in Norwich homes can range from better preparation to using sophisticated equipment. SERVPRO can capitalize on both aspects since we have extensive experience in the sector, which enhances your convenience levels and, in some cases, even saves you money.

Some simple solutions that neutralize the challenges posed by fire damage include having:

• The right PPE
• Resources to secure the structure
• Resources to tackle non-fire damage

The biggest impediment to fire restoration is limited access to the structure since it is impossible to clean, remove damaged materials, or manage odors without physically accessing the building. After a fire, hazards like falling objects, sharp items, and slick floors are common, hindering access to some areas or forcing people to work very slowly as they try to avoid injury. Such risks do not hamper our SERVPRO technicians since we have a wide variety of PPE.

Useful PPE items in a fire-damaged structure include:

• Heavy-duty gloves and rubber boots that protect against sharp items
• Bodysuits to limit contact with harmful residues of chemicals
• Respirators to protect inhalation of gases or fine residues

Apart from protecting the people, the structure might also require protection. When well-protected, you can be sure that tasks such as cleaning or removing deteriorated materials happen only once, saving time. Protecting the structure means sealing any openings, especially if the roof caved in or windows shattered during the fire to avoid rainwater or other weather elements. Protecting the building also limits the amount of non-fire damages you must address. Our SERVPRO technicians install roof tarps and board-up wall openings with plywood.
