Scoping Fire Damage to Contents in San Jose Shops
5/8/2022 (Permalink)
Content Cleaning Is Vital to Fire Restoration Services in San Jose Properties
With hundreds of shops throughout San Jose and its surrounding areas, many commercial properties look to the experience of our SERVPRO team when disasters like fires strike. A priority of our responding professionals to these emergencies is the management, cleaning, and storage of at-risk contents and inventory from the store.
What Do Pre-Job Inspections Accomplish?
Fire damage restoration for San Jose shops seeks to answer several pressing questions about the ideal recovery and repair approaches to come. When considering the state of the contents within the structure, there are also priorities. An inspection looks to determine:
- Condition of contents
- Salvageability
- Secondary damages
- Need for off-site recovery
Content Relocation
Relocating the contents is a fast and efficient way to remove them from the path of migrating fire loss effects. If there are available spaces within the building unaffected by the fire disaster, this is a good place to begin relocating items.
On-Site Cleaning
When cleaning is necessary to remove surface soot or neutralize trapped odors in the wares and inventory of your shop, much of this work is ideally done on-site. We have powerful cleaning products and deodorization equipment to help in this regard, and when restored, these items can be placed with the relocated wares elsewhere on the property.
Pack-Out Process
When on-site measures do not cover the extent of the cleanup necessary or protect these items from more considerable damage, we must act fast to relocate them to our nearby SERVPRO facility. The pack-out process, as it is called, gathers objects and moves them to our safe warehouse building where focused cleaning can occur, as well as well-documented and managed climate-controlled storage.
Protecting the contents of your shop is the objective of our fast-responding team of technicians and contractors. We quickly work to assess the damage and take the necessary steps to protect your investment as fire damage restoration work begins.
