Step 1: Emergency Contact
The restoration process begins when you call the SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island Call Center, which is staffed 24 hours a day. Our representative will ask a series of questions regarding the fire damage event that will help dispatch the right amount of required equipment.
Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment
Our Franchsie Professionals will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.
Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service
Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, the SERVPRO of Northern Rhode Island Franchise Professionals can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.
Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)
The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We will then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
