SERVPRO crews have disaster recovery training in both fire and water mitigation and remediation for St. Anthony commercial properties

The sheer quantities of firefighting water after commercial fire damage in St. Anthony can be shocking. When hiring a fire restoration company, it is essential to employ a firm prioritizing the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) training as both Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) and Fire and Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT) for employees. 

What Kinds of Disaster Recovery Can SERVPRO manage for St. Anthony Businesses?

Multiple specialties in restoration industry best practices spanning many disciplines guarantee SERVPRO can respond professionally to all aspects of a commercial fire. Expect our team to assess, plan effective interventions, and complete required tasks such as:

Which Type of Damage is More Important to Resolve in a Commercial Setting?

Stabilizing the scene in your St. Anthony business typically begins with water mitigation and evacuation, followed by structural drying. Slip and fall or electric shock risks need an immediate response. Once SERVPRO crews contain and lawfully dispose of the dirty, soot-filled water, other tasks can follow, including:

• Assessing the types of soots soiling the business space and matching efficient and research-based products and cleaning protocols to rid surfaces of the grime
