Fire damage restoration for your home is an easy choice. SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians will be ready at a moment's notice to help.

SERVPRO Evaluates the Loss to Determine Whether Move-Outs Are Best Suited for the Situation

Disorganization and accumulation of debris are characteristic in homes after a fire incident and may necessitate relocating some items. Moving items creates order and, more importantly, frees up space to complete cleanup conveniently at your New Providence home.

Since, in many cases, restoration of fire damage in New Providence homes is possible without performing a move-out, you should evaluate the situation to determine whether the incident at your premises necessitates one and how best to do it. When you involve a professional like SERVPRO, decision-making is much simpler.

A move-out is necessary after fire damage if:

• Some items require specialized cleaning
• Vast sections of the structure, especially ceilings, are heavily soiled 
• Other restorative actions, apart from cleaning, are necessary, like demolition

Moving items haphazardly can create more problems than what you want to avoid. For instance, mixing heavily soiled items with clean ones transfers the soiling, increasing the number of items you need to clean. Breakage and staining are also possible problems when items are poorly handled. SERVPRO can help you avoid such issues by carefully managing the move-out. For instance, we evaluate and group items based on damage levels and materials.

Preparing the contents to be moved also helps ensure the cleanup process runs smoothly. Our SERVPRO technicians pre-clean and dry contents before packing them for transportation. Using several packing boxes is also essential.
