Board up, debris clean-up and safety in mind.

SERVPRO® takes your property from a fire loss and revitalizes it.

In the event of a fire or fire related disaster you will want to contact your insurance company and create a plan with your agent or adjuster. By doing this, you will have an understanding what is covered and not. SERVPRO® of Salem West works with our customers, their agents and adjusters.

SERVPRO® is a fire restoration company that can restore, clean and monitor your property. Our company uses various methods to clean and restore your property and contents.

When you see the green vehicles roll up that means you have put your trust in your local team at SERVPRO® of Salem West. Our top priorities are to access and prevent further damage to the property and contents and to prepare and maintain the safety aspects for our customer(s) and team(s).

Some of the services we provide following a fire are:

• Inspect and evaluate the loss site by conducting an initial inspection.
• Secure the property by boarding up any points of access (i.e. windows, doors, etc.).
• Use proper equipment to dry the remaining water and moisture used to suppress the fire.
• Set up and possibly use outside resources for emergency electricity use.
• Remove strong odors from the structure to keep our team(s) safe.
• Conduct the initial cleaning and packing up contents and moving them to a secure location while our customer(s) find temporary housing.
• If necessary, conducting pest extermination.

Do’s and Don’ts of self-cleaning

• Don’t attempt to wash the wall of the structure.
• Don’t attempt to clean the carpet or upholstered furniture.
• Do use linens or materials that will not bleed color onto furniture and carpets to decrease further damage.
• Do limit walking around or moving objects and furniture.
• Do keep your hands clean. By doing so you will lessen the chances of transferring soot particles to surfaces.
• Do turn the electricity off. Empty the freezer and fridge while propping the doors open to limit odors.
• Do carefully clean chrome fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms with a light coating of lubricant.
• Don’t send clothing or materials affected by the fire to a dry cleaner.
• Do wash all sides of plants with water.
• Do change furnace filters and tape pieces of cheesecloth over air registers. This will allow the HVAC system to run and clean itself without adding further residue inside the structure.
