Residential Moisture Detection Services
Moisture damage in your home can go unnoticed for weeks or even months, leading to major problems like mold growth or compromised structural integrity. SERVPRO’s moisture detection services help you address water damage before it becomes a bigger issue.

What does SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville recommend after fire damage happens?

Fire damage to a home or business can cause more damage than imaginable. Fire damage can occur and spread rapidly resulting in smoke and/or soot damage along with odor throughout the building. Often times, with fire damage, water damage is associated. Especially, when the fire sprinklers are activated from the fire, or the local fire department arrives with the water hoses and spray water which saturate the fire damage structural materials. If this has happened to you, SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville is ready to assist with fire/smoke damage. So, you have fire damage, what happens next? Typically, with fire damage, the structure may be brought back to preloss conditions by performing a light or heavy clean.

Upon arrival, our team performs a walkthrough to assess the damages and scope out safety concerns to prevent injuries to all parties as the integrity of the structure may be compromised from the fire.  So, you have smoke damage, what happens next? Typically, with smoke damage, content needs to be evaluated to determine if it can be deemed non-salvageable or salvageable.
