Trust us, it’s better

If I’ve learned anything in this business (and I have), it’s that sometimes you have to accept the lesser of two evils as a necessity. For example, say your house experiences a fire. More often than not, the fire department will do everything in their power to attempt to save as much as they possibly can. In doing this, there is often collateral damage done to soft goods and electronics due to the water needed to extinguish the fire. On the surface it may seem like you have dodged a major bullet, and you have! Your home was mostly unharmed from the fire and rather than dealing with the heartbreaking task of digging through cinders and ash, you now just have to deal with some water damage. Right?

Well, mostly right. Water is insidious and while it is definitely better than fire damage, it still poses its own set of issues. Mold, for instance, can grow in as little as 24 hours if wet areas behind drywall aren’t tended to quickly. Mold can cause a litany of effects, none of which are cheap.

Here’s my advice to you: call SERVPRO of Chino/Chino Hills as soon as possible. Not only are we experts in fire damage restoration, we are experts in water mitigation. We can help get your home back to preloss conditions in no time flat. It’s just one more way we can help make it “Like it never even happened.”
