Fire heavily damages home and contents

Not all fire damage is the same.

One property may suffer near total loss due to damage, while another may just be a small amount of sheet rock and insulation.

In this case, the damage was substantial throughout the home.

Upon arriving at the site, our SERVPRO technicians carefully inspected each room, attic area and crawlspace.

What they found was devastation.

An electrical short in the attic jumped lines, traveled down walls, and exited in the crawlspace.

Fortunately, the local fire department had traced all the damaged lines, and prevented a total loss.

However, the damage from the fire, water, smoke and soot was extremely heavy.

Entire ceilings and walls were torn down to remove damaged sheet rock and insulation, leaving a bare wood frame of a home.

Many of the contents could not be restored due to heavy damage, but were cataloged for the homeowner.

In the end, the homeowners were extremely satisfied with our SERVPRO of Wichita Falls team, and were thankful their family was safe.
