SERVPRO Technicians Expertly Remediate Fire Damage Regardless of the Cause

Wild rodents are voracious and unwanted houseguests. They destroy the materials homes are made of as they make their bedding. Everything from drywall to insulation to clothing to wiring is fair game in a rodent's mind.
 
Lilburn homes may have rodents living in the attic and other seemingly closed-off spaces that are rarely seen by human inhabitants, and the presence of these undesired rodents can lead to fire damage. These animals, including raccoons, are often smart enough to avoid detection by only gnawing on those materials enclosed behind drywall or paneling.
 
What both mice and raccoons alike do, however, is gnaw on wiring, leaving wires bare and exposed to shredded insulation, stolen clothing, paper and other items. Much of what rodents view as great bedding choices are also the same ones that can easily ignite.
 
When you have a fire, the fire department sends highly qualified firefighters to battle the blaze that is destroying your home. Once the fire is out, your home needs professionals who are also trained and skilled in restoring the fire damage so your family can again live in a safe and secure setting that is completely their own.
 
We at SERVPRO have the qualified individuals who can get everything required by code authorities completed for you. We also understand that the tragedy and trauma of a fire, coupled with having to live with friends or family, can threaten to destroy more than the structural aspects of a home. We aim to finish each restoration and recovery from disaster as quickly as we possibly can without taking any shortcuts that could result in less-than-perfect results.
 
When a destructive fire begins in the wiring, on the surface, the cause may seem unknown until fire investigators complete their assessment of the situation. When the official cause shows that rodents have played a hand in causing a fire, this knowledge can help bring some relief in that none of the blame rests on any particular individual.
 
Experiencing a house fire can create intense stress and strain within any family, and this can continue until things are once again “Like it never even happened.” This is why the dedicated professionals at SERVPRO of North Lilburn restore family homes ruined by fire damage. Whenever this catastrophic nightmare becomes a reality for your family, call us, day or night, at (770) 709-3266. We can make it right again.
