SERVPRO helps Poughkeepsie property owners with their fire damage claims. We gladly try to expedite the claims process.

Structure fires can take a toll on neighboring properties as well, and our SERVPRO team can help with efficient cleaning and repairs

While we have become a leading fire restoration company for Poughkeepsie homes and businesses, we can also help structures indirectly damaged by a disaster. Often with the short distances between homes and businesses throughout the city, a blazing structure fire can have disastrous effects on adjacent properties that require the thorough fire restoration and repairs that our contractors and technicians offer. Nearby properties to a total loss structure fire can experience:

• Melting
• Charring
• Partial Combustion
• Soot/Smoke Residues
• Missing Exterior Materials

Regarding fire restoration for Poughkeepsie homes that suffer exterior damages, a combination of our general contractors and experienced fire damage technicians can make these situations "Like it never even happened." Controlled demolition is often necessary when siding, fascia board, and wood become damaged directly by the heat or spread of a fire. Brick and masonry can usually be cleaned with soda blasting, sandblasting, and other abrasive cleaning techniques.

Are Demolition and Reconstruction Necessary?

Reconstruction and repairs sound expensive and costly, but these needed actions can often get covered by your home insurance policy. Determining what steps and approaches are necessary to restore and recover exterior damages to your home is a combination of efforts by our project manager assessing and estimating the work, the insurance adjuster preparing a claim, and the homeowner. Our fast response to this situation can often prevent the spread of soot particles and smoke odors into the structure.

Exterior damages are more common than many homeowners might believe. We can help you to repair siding and masonry outside walls with efficient cleaning and controlled demolition. Give our SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess County team a call anytime disasters strike at (845) 635-4550.
