SERVPRO Turns Around Fireplace Fire Damage to Manhattan Properties

While a fireplace is the perfect blend of warmth and aesthetic in a room, it is also a significant cause of preventable fire damage in Manhattan residential properties, mostly due to lack of cleaning or regular maintenance. The Before Photo shows the aftermath. SERVPRO technicians work quickly to remove charred materials and debris. The old fireplace legs, trim panels, and mantel received too much damage for restoration and required removal. In many cases, the tech’s restoration techniques using cleaners formulated for use on masonry save the property owners the cost of replacement. With this much destruction, the fireplace required rebuilding as in the After Photo. The hearth-stones received deep cleaning, and the rebuilt fireplace received a new wooden mantle along with thorough cleaning of the hardwood floors to make the fire loss “Like it never even happened.”
