Forest Hills Gardens, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Whether it is shops and high rises on Queens Blvd or larger nearby institutions like the Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital, fires are not selective with their targets. Many causes can lead to these devastating emergencies, requiring our experienced Fire & Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT) to respond fast to help. 

Can Inspections Help with Fire and Smoke Damage Mitigation?

One of the first efforts completed by our SERVPRO professionals is to inspect the property for structural damage and pressing concerns that should be addressed before other restoration actions. Job scoping compiles data on the condition of exposed contents and building materials to create a restoration plan to suit the property. Our experienced team helps with:

  • Fire damaged homes
  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Smoke remediation
  • Fire damage restoration

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers.
