ServiceMaster Clean Des Moines

Cleaning up after a loss involving fire and smoke is a specialized service. It is important to get professional assistance immediately to avoid compounding problems by not dealing correctly with the damage not only from the fire and smoke, but from the water used to extinguish the fire as well.

ServiceMaster West approaches each fire Loss with a specific plan.

• Assess the Fire and Smoke Damage: Each fire loss creates damage resulting from both the fire and smoke. The lingering corrosive damage from smoke requires a quick response. Any water used to control and extinguish the fire can lead to further damage if not addressed and responded to in a timely manner. ServiceMaster West has highly trained staff to assist all your needs.
• Emergency Response: Fires frequently create breeches in the building structure. It is important to cover these openings to minimize further damage from vandalism or the elements. Safety issues regarding electrical power to the property also need to be addressed. Any contents in the home may require a pack out service. ServiceMaster uses an inventory system that allows the home owner to know the exact items that were removed and a complete chain of custody report given before taking items, during restoration and after the items have been restored.
• Restore or Replace: It is important to identify which items affected by the fire can be restored and which are not salvageable. Our extensive experience is invaluable in assisting with this phase.
• Odor Control: Removal of fire and smoke odor requires special products, systems and equipment employed by highly trained and experienced professionals.
• Restoration Services: Restoration involves multiple activities for different items:
  • Carpet and Furniture – Need to be cleaned and deodorized
  • Cabinets, ceilings, walls and floors may all require appropriate cleaning and polishing
  • It is common for soft goods (clothing, curtains, and draperies) to require special professional cleaning. ServiceMaster West will:
    • Pack out the items to be cleaned and inventory those items.
    • Arrange for specialized cleaning.
    • Inventory control.
    • Store the items during restoration.
    • Return the items after restoration is complete.
    • Complete reporting of all items.
• Structural Restoration: Unfortunately, in many instances, fires require substantial structural restoration to return a home or commercial facility to the pre-fire condition. ServiceMaster West is equipped to assist you through this entire process.
