Dealing with Basement Fires

The furnace and water heater are some of the appliances in your basement that may cause a fire. Even after the flames have been extinguished, the house normally retains extensive smoke damage, particularly if it does not have a second entrance from the outside or windows. SERVPRO® helps identify and deal with the subtle and common signs of fire damage in a basement, preventing further structural issues.

Fire damage in the basement may appear as follows;

• Lingering smoke odors
• Dark stains on walls, ceilings, or flooring
• Charred spots on walls, beams, or structural supports

Basement Water Damage 

Because basements are below ground level, they tend to be more vulnerable to water intrusion from various sources, including plumbing leaks. SERVPRO crews check for warped or buckled flooring, water stains on walls, visible mold growth, and a musty smell. We suck up standing water using a wet-dry vacuum and set up dehumidification equipment for restoration.
