Even though you can take precautions to prevent fire damage, lightning could still strike your home causing external fire damage.

When Fire Damage Strikes Your Home, Rely on SERVPRO to Overcome the Effects

Some types of fire damage in Pensacola can be tough to protect against, even if you maintain your home well and take as many precautions as possible. Although these difficult-to-avoid or unavoidable causes of fire damage can happen to almost anyone, they also typically represent a relatively low proportion of all fires in the area. If a fire should hit your home, do not panic, just call SERVPRO and your insurance provider to start down the road to recovery.

Lightning Strikes

Even with a lightning rod, lightning can still strike your home and cause severe external fire damage in Pensacola. Lightning has caused homeowners grief since the dawn of recorded history, and despite modern advances in technology and materials, it still claims many American homes each year. Your home may also be at additional risk if it is near plants or other structures that lightning can be more likely to strike.

Electrical Fires

Most electrical fires result from freak accidents or unnoticed malfunctions around your home. With how many electrical features and gadgets most modern homes contain nowadays, it can be almost impossible to keep track of them all at once. Whether the accident happened from someone in the family or not, most electrical fires cannot be easily stopped without a fire extinguisher close at hand.

Neighboring Fires

Many neighborhood fires spread to nearby buildings, where they can start anew or cause substantial smoke damage. If your home takes damage from a neighbor's fire, do not hesitate to contact SERVPRO to secure restorations as quickly as possible. Even for relatively "light" damage that often results from these fires, professional treatments are often essential. Plus, we can help to negotiate with your insurance provider to ensure that everything goes favorably for you.
