SERVPRO Techs Perform Pro House Fire Mitigation in Smithtown

When a Smithtown property needs house fire cleanup services, property owners have several options for the contents. Using the benefits of a move-out can work in a homeowner's favor.

SERVPRO technicians perform move-outs regularly during fire damage mitigation in Smithtown properties. Although each fire cleanup and property has qualities that make it unique, the action of the move-out gets performed in much the same fashion for each job. The basic steps the techs do are: 

• Scope the property
• Pack, tag, and create an inventory list
• Set up cleaning stations and sort items
• Move out contents
• Deodorize articles as needed
• Move contents back into the home to their former locations

What Does Scoping Do?

During a house fire cleanup, the initial scope within the worksite helps determine the number of techs and supplies needed for this service. While an initial estimate may not get calculated during the early scoping of the damaged area of the home, this action is often enough for the insurance adjuster to create a projection as to the restoration service costs.

Creating an Inventory

The technicians carefully create a detailed report of the items getting moved out. The information creates a final inventory that includes detailed descriptions and barcodes to track individual objects. If the property owner needs an update on the whereabouts of an article, SERVPRO has no delays in locating the information simply by checking the report.

Cleaning Items for Reuse

The techs typically set up cleaning stations at the worksite to handle any restorative cleaning in real-time. Those items that were part of the move-out service may get cleaned and deodorized before getting repacked until the remediation completes.
