"Like it never even happened" -- SERVPRO's goal following a fire damaging cleanup for a Largo property.

SERVPRO Features Proven Fire Damage Restoration Methods for Restoring a Largo Property Fast

Any damage stemming from a fire can be immense. However, there are levels to the damage that many Largo homeowners are not aware of. There is usually some structural damage, overwhelming soot and smoke odor, damage to your contents, and water damage from first responders extinguishing the flames. SERVPRO is happy to come out, day or night, to get started on your smoke and fire damage restoration needs.

Many homeowners might not realize all the layers involved when it comes to fire damage restoration in Largo. Some types of damage that we often experience when called to house fire clean-up include:

• Odors – Fire leaves overwhelming odors, especially if there is a mixture of soot, smoke, and mildew growth.
• Soot – This is a carbon byproduct generated when materials burn. Soot is corrosive by nature, and it wreaks havoc on textured and porous surfaces like textiles, carpeting, wood, grout, and stone.
• Rust – Speaking of corrosion, you could see issues with metal corrosion after a fire. This can be potentially risky when it comes to damaged electrical items.
• Mold – Because mold thrives in dark, damp areas, there are plenty of nooks and crannies for it to colonize after a fire. After the moisture throughout the air starts to interact with mold spores, mildew grows and causes damage to any porous surfaces.
