Fires can happen at any time. No matter how big or small, contact SERVPRO for fire damage remediation services.

SERVPRO is Here to Help with fire damages from any source.

Preventing fires in commercial buildings in Exeter, especially some of the more common ones, is relatively straightforward. For example, many business owners are surprised to learn that a fire started in a common area, or near a water heater. The fire's damage and the loss of business while the restoration is underway can significantly impact the business.

SERVPRO provides fire damage restoration services in Exeter and surrounding areas. Our teams have seen many fire sites where the fire could have been prevented. Rest assured that we can be on-site to begin cleanup and restoration in less than four hours and return your business to normal operations as soon as possible.

Several of the more common causes of commercial fires include:

Misusing equipment by untrained or careless employees

Improperly discarded cigarettes

Poorly maintained boilers, water heaters, or heating systems

Combustible trash placed near heating systems

Electrical and heating systems maintained by unlicensed technicians

Our team is available 24/7 to begin restoration and mitigate further damage caused by materials utilized by the fire department to control the fire.

How Long Will It Take to Return the Property to Its Original Condition?

Every fire restoration project is different in terms of the extent of the physical damage, the impact of water and fire retardants used by the fire department, and smoke/soot that may have spread throughout the building. One of SERVPRO's team leaders assesses the damage before developing a plan to restore your business. Details are discussed with the business owner and the insurance company if required.

Fire damage restoration can include the following actions:

Removal of all materials that cannot be repaired

Smoke and odor damaged materials are removed for cleaning and deodorization

Professional cleaning of all surfaces

Restoration of damaged structures and commercial materials

At SERVPRO, we aim to return your commercials space to its original condition, "Like it never even happened."
