Call SERVPRO Team Lutz today to get help at 215.368.4110!

With any house fire, you could get hit with the loss of furnishings, electronics, sentimental items, and more. Not only will flames cause devastation, but there is also water from fire hoses and smoke and soot to address. SERVPRO knows how important it is for you to have a plan to get back on your feet. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster, here for area residents 24/7 for emergency response.

Homeowners may not realize the possible impact on their health when subjected to fire damage. There will be dirty water left with contaminants from charred debris. Soot and smoke residue can have health effects for both humans and pets. You also have to worry about structural elements and instability until fire restoration gets completed.

Some steps to follow that will help you get ahead of the turmoil a fire leaves in its wake include:

• Seek temporary shelter, as entering fire damaged homes before they get deemed safe is dangerous.
• Contact your insurance provider, tell them about the blaze, and get your fire damage claim started. 
• Get in touch with SERVPRO so we can mobilize a crew to your door within hours to begin the assessment and inspection.

Once we arrive, we will protect your property with the help of our board-up and tarping services. We cover windows and doors as well as holes in walls or your roof to protect it from the elements, vandals, and vermin.

Fire restoration commences, handling all residual moisture, charred debris removal, and addressing structural elements to return your home to pre-fire condition. Unsalvageable materials get replaced and finished to make it look “Like it never even happened.” Before wrapping up, our Odor Control Technicians (OCT) ensure no lingering odors get left behind to remind you of the fire.
