We Restore Your Home After Fire Damage

After a fire, the tasks of soot removal to handle water damage left behind by firefighting efforts must begin. Homeowners in Mount Vernon can rely on our experts to bring their homes back to their pre-fire condition with precision and care. Don’t stress about the complexities involved - let the skilled team from SERVPRO® manage every detail so you can focus on moving forward.

Restoring a residential property with fire damage in Mount Vernon often involves tasks with various hazards. SERVPRO’s technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize as many risks as possible. While homeowners may have some protective gear, we choose our PPE gear according to IICRC standards.

Here are a few of the other PPEs we use when restoring a home with fire damage:

• Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPR) 
• Puncture-resistant Tyvek suits
• Insulated rubber boots

Our crew members often wear powered air-purifying respirators during fire damage restoration projects, especially during the initial stages of cleanup and mitigation. While thermal fogging, our odor control technician (OCT) will include this in their PPE gear.

Fire-damaged homes often present unexpected challenges like splintered wood and broken glass. Our technicians wear Tyvek suits, which may seem flimsy but are waterproof and tear-resistant. These suits also provide comfort, as they do not retain heat like other suits might.

Insulated rubber boots are necessary when exposed wires and other hazards might exist on the floor. Water is commonly present after a fire, as well. Insulated rubber boots protect your fire restorers while within your residence.
