Four important areas of SERVPRO care for your home: - Initial inspection - Protecting your home - Audit all belongings - Proper cleaning -

Knowing what to do after a fire hits your home or business can make a significant difference in the cost of your recovery.  Be sure to read this helpful blog and be prepared for when a disaster strikes!

If you are informed, you can take steps to avoid a total loss and instead be on the road to recovery.   Think about this:  50% of businesses that are impacted by a disaster such as fire and smoke damage or water damage never reopen.  For families and business owners who have invested their life’s savings into their business, this is a real, and unfortunately possibly avoidable tragedy.  It all depends on your level of preparation.

Rebounding is all about readiness.  Moving on successfully comes down to whether you have an emergency preparedness plan in place.
 
One of the most important things you can do to be prepared is to know who your best allies will be if and when the time comes that you’ll need them.  For fire and smoke damage and water damage SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/ Brea is your trusted partner in property damage restoration.  We’re the #1 SERVPRO franchise in the state of California.  We make our customers feel "Like it never even happened."  Our IICRC certified, professionally trained team of restoration experts is available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year to mitigate the affects of fire or water damage. 
 
SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea offers the following services for fire damage repair and smoke damage repair in Yorba Linda:

• Full inspection: Before we begin our restoration work, we take the time to fully assess the extent of the damage to your property. This includes the source of the damage, and the number and types of affected materials. It’s all important in planning the most effective, most efficient clean-up process.  Often, we go beyond the scope of the project to help with things such as finding customer lodging.  We take the time to answer your important, pressing questions so you feel more ‘in-control’ of the situation.  Usually, that helps our customers feel more calm. 
• Protection of unaffected areas: While we’re working in damaged buildings, there are often areas and belongings that have not been affected.  We take the time and care to manipulate all items so they are out of the way of potential, unintended damage.  We cover furniture with plastic sheets,  and lay runners down on the floor.  Just like acting quickly after the initial damage, doing these things also saves our customers money in the long-run.
• Determination of what needs replacing: We perform meticulous audits, including written descriptions, and photographs of all damaged items during this process.  These audits are provided to your insurance company as part of your claims process.  In certain circumstances, we can also assist with moving and storing your salvageable possessions until after restoration is complete. 
• Effective cleaning methods: we only use the best products and methods available on the market to ensure that your Yorba Linda home or office is up and running again in no time.
