SERVPRO of West Bradenton/Anna Maria has the specialized fire restoration training needed to restore your home to pre-fire condition – "Like it never even happened." Every fire damage event is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency. Step 1: Emergency Contact The restoration process begins when you call the SERVPRO of West Bradenton/Anna Maria (941) 792-7715 and we will send a team with the appropriate equipment and resources. Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage AssessmentOur Professionals will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage.
