SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda knows when it comes to your business every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. We have the expertise to handle your commercial and non-commercial fire restoration needs. We also provide 24-hour emergency service to the greater Sacramento area.

When a fire damage event occurs at your business or commercial property, it is important to get damage repaired as quickly as possible. Fires often leave businesses or commercial properties in a state where business cannot continue, which is bad for your business. Keeping downtime to a minimum is crucial.

Here are the first steps you should take with your business or home after a fire disaster.

1. Determine the scale of work required: The first step in any Sacramento fire, commercial or residential, is to have a professional assessment done. Although it may be tempting to enter the property yourself after a fire to see the damage that has occurred; we strongly recommend against this. Fire damage creates a toxic and possibly harmful environment that should only be first assessed by professionals. Professionals will need to assess possible structural damage, as well as water damage from the efforts of firefighters. Further, smoke damage may cause damage throughout the Sacramento property even though the fire only affected one area.
2. Explore your options for repair: With fire damage and possible water damage to your Sacramento home, there are many steps from start to finish to make your property "Like it never even happened." Depending on the extent of the damage, drywall may need to be removed if it has been damaged by smoke or water. Other damage may include carpeting, furniture, including upholstered furniture which will need to be professionally cleaned. By calling SERVPRO we will be there quickly and prepared to hand all of your cleaning needs after your Sacramento fire.
3. Guaranteed timely results: When working with SERVPRO of North Highlands and Rio Linda, you are receiving a service that handles all aspects of the damage restoration. This makes us the most timely, effective, and professional option to get your Sacramento commercial property or business back up and running as soon as possible.
