Here at SERVPRO of Manahawkin, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of fire damage restoration. Our expert’s goal is to restore your smoke-damaged home and belongings to help make the fire "Like it never even happened."  There are 5 things we look for and consider to be the main principles of fire restoration.

1. Locate Smoke Residue.  

Our restoration team starts with a careful inspection to determine where the fire began, and how far the damage radius extends.  

1. Identify the Type of Smoke Residues.  

Residues from fires vary, depending upon what burned and how. A fire can deliver many different types of residues. Properly identifying residues is the first step in developing a cleaning plan. 

1. Identify the Types of Surfaces to be Cleaned.  

Identifying the cleaning surface is crucial for understanding the proper cleaning products and procedures to use to restore an item and prevent further damage.  

1. Capture and Remove the Residues.  

Smoke residues bond with the surfaces they contact. It requires dry and wet cleaning methods to unlatch these particles from the affected surface.  

1. Properly Dispose of the Residues.  

The proper disposal of residues from fire damage helps protect the environment.
