Santa Barbara, CA Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fire Damage in Santa Barbara, CA

A lack of rain and continued dry conditions have turned the hills behind Santa Barbara into a tinderbox.  In recent years, we have experienced the smoke, ash, and flames from The Gap Fire, The Jesusita Fire, The Tea Fire, and The Thomas Fire.  Historically, there have been many other wildfires in our town as nature exerts its powerful forces.  We have to expect that in the future, wildfires will continue to be a problem for us here locally.

As a result of working for homeowners after these fires, SERVPRO of Santa Barbara has gained significant experience in the proper way to restore your home after a fire damage event.  Whether it is ash in the insulation in your attic, a strong smell of smoke in your living room, or soot covering the roof of your house, the professional crews from SERVPRO want to use their experience to help you to get back in to your home as quickly as possible.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers.
