Our SERVPRO Team is Equipped to Restore Fire Damage from Your Commercial Property

Disasters in your Wetumpka church are rarely easy to restore and clean up without specialized equipment and specific training. Especially in the event of a fire throughout the building, effects and damages could be widespread and vary significantly. It is critical to get these damages taken care of as quickly as possible to help to reduce the overall tear out and replacement needs for the facility, but also to get your place of worship back into top shape as promptly as possible.

Fire damages to your Wetumpka church present themselves in various ways from soot/smoke damage to structural integrity concerns and even water damage from extinguishment. Understanding how each of these effects requires a specific approach can help you to appreciate your need for professional restoration services like what our SERVPRO technicians can provide. We work hard to live up to our slogan that We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

The contents of your church are often what takes the worst of the lingering effects like soot and smoke damage. Carpeting throughout the sanctuary is an excellent example of this. Not only are these fibers a magnet for the carbon film of soot and debris, but this material and the subflooring can become overly saturated and weaken on account of the water used to fight the flames. Removing the moisture and restoring these areas take several intricate steps from weighted extraction into carpet cleaning to fully restore.

Materials throughout the affected areas like drywall and wood are particularly susceptible to absorbing the smoke damage, ultimately requiring deodorization. The environment is particularly volatile following the extinguishing of a fire, which our SERVPRO technicians prepare for with the use of personal protective equipment like respirators and coveralls. To clear the atmosphere within the building, a combination of air scrubbers and thermal foggers are used to clean out soot, debris and other contaminants from the air and then to deodorize the lingering smoke damage.
