Commercial Fire Damage Poughkeepsie

A commercial fire can destroy a building in a matter of minutes, especially if there are a variety of chemicals stored on-site, such as paint and other flammable materials. The fire department can extinguish the fire relatively quickly. However, there is lots of additional damage to the contents and the structure. Everything is black with soot, soaked with water, and the structural integrity of the building may be compromised.

Assessment and Recovery
Every situation is different depending on the amount of damage and the size and type of commercial building. We recover everything that is undamaged by the fire and move it off-site for cleaning and storage. We return these items later to the company.

After a fire, there can be a great deal of wet debris that must be moved out and discarded. Our team may wear protective suits while completing this phase. There can be harmful chemicals mixed in with the debris. The fire may have damaged the structure, and smoke penetrated the walls, ceiling spaces damaging wiring and ducts, as well as flooring materials.

In many cases, SERVPRO recommends the removal of all drywall, false ceilings, and flooring materials to expose the structure. Structural elements can be cleaned if needed or repaired. The entire building may need to be rewired at the same time, along with replacing heating ducts before installing a new ceiling, wall, and floor materials.

At SERVPRO, we understand how important it is to restart business operations. We work closely with the customer, subcontractors, and insurance adjusters to minimize the time needed to restore and repair your commercial space.
