Experiencing a fire in your business can be devastating. Your business is your livelihood. How do you know where to begin with recovery? Calling SERVPRO of Belle Meade/West Nashville will put the restoration motions into place. Let’s discuss some of the common causes of commercial fires and how SERVPRO can help you get back to business should you experience one. 

What Are Some Common Causes of Commercial Fires? 

• Kitchen Fires: Whether your commercial building is a restaurant or not, the presence of kitchen equipment increases the chances of a fire breaking out. Flammable oils, high temperatures, and gas and electrical equipment that is faulty or unsupervised can all create a risk of fire. Everyone using cooking appliances within your business should be aware of fire safety protocols and fire prevention tips. 
• Electrical Issues: Faults with electrical systems can be caused by age, improper wiring, installation, or mishandling. During the winter months, rates of fires tend to spike because of heaters that malfunctioned or were placed close to flammable materials. Keeping your business safe means being diligent about maintaining the electrical equipment that keeps it running.  
• Arson: Unfortunately, sometimes a fire is completely out of your control. If you are the victim of arson or vandalism, know that SERVPRO can help you get through this distressing time. In case of all fires, it is important to document the damage and contact your insurance company for reimbursement. 

SERVPRO’s Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

Fire can bring multiple types of damage to the same property. Water damage from putting out the fire must be addressed, as well as the smoke and soot that has been left behind. SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville is prepared to handle all of these issues and others that may arise. With 2170 franchises available to access all over the country, no commercial job is too large for us to handle. 

• Water Removal: Water damage from sprinkler systems or firefighters can cause secondary damage if not removed quickly. We begin drying the affected area immediately using vacuums and then dehumidifiers and air movers to complete the drying process. 
• Smoke and Soot Cleaning: Inhaling smoke and soot is dangerous for your health, so all traces must be eliminated to ensure your business is safe to operate again. We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 
• Odor Removal: The smell of smoke can permeate buildings after a fire, leaving an unpleasant reminder of a terrible event. SERVPRO has the technology not to mask odors but to extract them at the source, eliminating them completely.
• Fire Damage Restoration: After a fire, all you want is for your business to look and operate as normal. With SERVPRO, we will go the extra mile to get you there.
