SERVPRO Assess Fire Damage in this Church in Hodge, LA

As you can see from the video, even what are seemingly minuscule fires could have widespread effects on a building. That is what makes the walkthrough, like what our technicians and management underwent with Pastor Stroud, such a vital component of the work that we do in fire restoration. While assessing the damage, our team was also able to explain some of the pressing concerns that otherwise would not have gotten addressed.

The assessment is the first step that our SERVPRO professionals undertake with every restoration project that we begin. This inspection details the full scope of the work that needs to happen, like finding other issues such as the spray insulation and ceiling tiles throughout the building for this particular project. With the widespread nature of an electrical fire like this one at the church, the damage exceeded far beyond the immediate area where the fire happened.

Material removal and replacement are critical components of the fire restoration process, and this church project was no exception. The ceiling tiles needed to get removed in a broad area which included the sanctuary and adjacent rooms. Additionally, the spray insulation material had to also get removed and replaced.

Lingering symptoms from the fire would get addressed once all of the new materials had successfully gotten installed by our SERVPRO technicians. Thermal fogging would eliminate the noxious smoke odor that is typical of fires within buildings, and the more involved soot cleanup and restoration of all areas including both these adjacent rooms and the HVAC system would follow along with this final phase.

As you can see, fire restoration is rarely ever simple and easy to accomplish. However, with the right kind of help at your disposal, restorers can bring your property back to preloss conditions in a way that you never knew the problem ever occurred. That is the kind of commitment that you can expect from SERVPRO of Monroe / West Monroe and our experienced restoration technicians.
