When we say 24 Hour Service, we mean it! Our teams are always ready to respond and, most times, will show up at your property within an hour of a call

When a fire occurs on your commercial property, both firefighters and sprinkler systems will do everything that they can to put the fire out. Although this is better than the entire property burning down, it does create additional considerations for you during the restoration process of your property. To maintain the value and integrity of your property, water cleanup is just as vital as removing smoke and fire damage within the hours and days of a fire.

Common Types of Damage Post-Fire

Direct Fire Damage

When fires reach high temperatures it becomes an incredibly destructive force. Fire cleanup often requires restorers to simply remove surfaces and items that have been damaged by fire. With our restore vs. replace mentality, we are able to return items to our warehouse for fire remediation and smoke damage repair. Although we do have fire cleanup capabilities, certain electronics, roofing, and structural elements of a building may have to be replaced entirely.

Smoke Residue

Smoke can create residues that are both unpleasant to smell and are damaging to your belongings. It is essential to start smoke damage cleanup as soon as possible to increase the chance for salvaging your items. Smoke residue can build up in computers and other various electronics which can cause them to malfunction. By contacting SERVPRO of Coon Rapids/Central Anoka County you can be assured that our technicians are proper restoration professionals. 

Water Damage

Water damage is always a serious concern and must be handled quickly and efficiently to avoid secondary damages. Certain items and surfaces are more vulnerable to water damage than others depending on their materials. It is very important to dry furniture and other relatively porous possessions as quickly as possible so that mold spores cannot colonize on them. Let our certified technicians handle any residual water remaining, we will ensure that the water that has infiltrated surfaces is taken care of properly.
