2. Roof and Window Damage
   Strong winds can tear off shingles, damage roofs, or shatter windows, allowing water to enter your home and cause more damage.

3. Debris Damage
   Fallen trees, branches, or other debris can damage your home’s structure, break windows, or block access to your property.

Fire Damage

A fire in your home or business can leave behind devastating damage. Beyond the flames, smoke, soot, and water from firefighting efforts can create lasting harm if not dealt with quickly.

At SERVPRO of Crestview, Defuniak Springs & Chipley, we specialize in comprehensive fire damage restoration to bring your property back to its pre-fire condition.

What Happens After a Fire?

1. Smoke and Soot Damage
   Even after the flames are out, smoke and soot can continue to damage walls, ceilings, and personal belongings. They can also cause lingering odors if not properly cleaned.

2. Water Damage
   Firefighters often use large amounts of water to extinguish the flames, leading to water damage in the affected areas. Left untreated, this can lead to mold growth.

3. Structural Damage
   Fire can weaken the structure of your home, from walls and support beams to flooring and roofing. A thorough inspection is critical to ensure the building is safe.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

• Inspection and Assessment: We begin with a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the damage.
  
  
• Board-Up and Tarping: If the fire has damaged windows, doors, or roofs, we’ll provide temporary protection to secure your property.
  
  
• Smoke and Soot Removal: Using advanced techniques, we clean and remove all traces of smoke and soot from walls, ceilings, and belongings.
  
  
• Restoration: We offer full restoration services, including water removal, deodorization, and reconstruction to bring your property back to its original condition.
