In Austin, Texas, approximately 600 homes and businesses are destroyed by fire each year. If a fire destroys or damages your building, it can be a devastating experience that leaves you wondering where to turn for help.

SERVPRO has the expertise and experience to restore your home or business after it suffers fire damage, as well as the water damage that results from firefighting efforts. 

SERVPRO operates from a "restore first" philosophy that focuses on restoring — rather than replacing — your home or business to pre-fire condition. 

Why SERVPRO for Fire Damage Restoration?

After firefighters extinguish a structural blaze, the building typically is left with serious fire, water, and smoke damage. SERVPRO can take care of everything from reconstructing rooms and eliminating smoke odors to water cleanup and mold removal. SERVPRO can work directly with your insurance company to reduce your stress and expedite the restoration process.
