Emergency Wash for Fire Damage

1/6/2020 (Permalink)

When a fire is in your home, even if it is promptly put out, the smoke can quickly move room to room and cover a large area with smoke and soot. When this happens, your items can quickly become dirty and unusable until properly cleaned. This is often times hard for families where every room in the home has soot in it or smells like smoke, as they might not have enough clean clothes for the time it takes their items to be processed in out Contents Warehouse.

Noticing this need, SERVPRO of Allen, Barren, Hart, Green and Taylor Counties is now doing Emergency Washes to remove this issue.

When soft contents are brought to our warehouse, they are processed as the come in. So, when a new claim comes in, it may take a couple of days before they start the washing process. With an emergency wash, we have homeowners pick out some of their clothes/blankets/towels or any other items they need washed immediately, and we get them done ASAP. In certain instances, we have even had employees wash contents late into the night, so our clients can have their items as soon as possible.

While this is not always necessary, many times it is the best options for families who just need enough of their belongings cleaned to get through a week or two.

While we cannot rush wash an entire household of items, being able to quickly process the basic necessities puts our client’s minds at ease and takes some stress out of the situation. It also cuts down on costs to replace or buy new items until their contents have been fully returned.
