SERVPRO is Dedicated to Performing Commercial Fire Repair in Gilroy
Strip malls are attractive to consumers because the businesses in them are close to each other. This is also a danger when one of the enterprises catches fire because it can easily spread to other businesses.
A structural fire in a strip mall can devastate several enterprises simultaneously and spell millions of dollars of damages for the owner. SERVPRO is well equipped to perform commercial fire restoration in Gilroy in as short a time as possible. Our process is as outlined below:
- Inspection and estimation
- Boarding-up and roof-tarping
- Water extraction
- Removal of smoke, soot, and deodorization
- Restoring fire-damaged structures and contents
Inspection and estimation
Upon arrival, our SERVPRO team can conduct a full inspection of the units in the strip mall to determine the steps to take during the restoration process. We can then conduct a detailed assessment and estimate the total restoration cost.
Boarding-up and roof-tarping
If we discover that parts of the walls have been burned off, we can board them up. If the roof is damaged, we can use roof tarps to protect the building from extreme weather conditions.
Water extraction and drying
Fire damage is often accompanied by water damage because the fire might trigger the fire suppression system causing water penetration into the property. SERVPRO can use truck-mounted pumps to get the water out and then use axial air movers to blow in dry air to dry the building.
Removal of Smoke, Soot, and Deodorization
Strip malls have shared ventilation systems that might carry smoke and toxic fumes all over the complex.Our SERVPRO crew can clean all the surfaces that smoke and soot have affected and then use pressure sprayers to apply water-based thermal fog deodorizers to remove the smoky smell left behind.
Restoring fire-damaged structures and contents
Our technicians can repair structures and contents that were salvaged from the fire. We can also repair damaged structures like walls and, where necessary, rebuild areas that were damaged beyond repair.
