SERVPRO Techs Take Care of Fire Restoration to Keep Property Owners Safe

After a fire occurs, a Fort Lauderdale Beach homeowner may consider taking on fire restoration tasks that make cleanup easier for technicians. However, some practices, like wiping down soot or moving belongings from the affected area, can increase the extent of the damage. Instead, homeowners can help by preparing photos and documentation in advance.

SERVPRO fire restoration teams can provide Fort Lauderdale Beach residents with cleanup and a detailed inventory of structures, contents, and conditions to submit a proof of loss claim. While restoration can usually be performed on-site, SERVPRO-approved warehouse spaces are available for pack-outs in the event of extensive fire damage.

SERVPRO Pack-Outs and Inventory for Fire Damage

During a pack-out, technicians document, classify and pack contents room by room. The steps taken for the Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS) include the following:

  • Individual items or boxes of possessions are bar code tagged and given a name that describes the contents for a searchable inventory database
  • Labels are scannable for easy access to information about inventory that can also be updated. Techs can also create searchable subcategories based on the room being packed to streamline the process
  • Paper inventory sheets are also essential to a successful pack-out to keep contents organized and provide paper copies for both property owners and claims adjusters
  • After contents are moved to the SERVPRO warehouse, home residents can inspect items and procure belongings that they need. The inventory process ensures that items customers wish to pick up or review are easy to find

Once fire damaged structures and warehouse contents are restored to a pre-disaster condition, SERVPRO can perform a move-back.

Property owners can contact SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South at (954) 776-2000 for “Like it never even happened,” levels of restoration.
