SERVPRO Helps Reopen Drive-Through Faster after Commercial Fire Damage Incident in Great Neck

A night fire that started at around 3 AM left widespread damages at a local drive-through in Great Neck. Once the smoke cleared and the management had the chance to scope the loss site, it became clear that reopening the facility would take time. Rough estimates put the reopening date at least a couple of months away, although an earlier date would have been preferred. They relayed their concerns to SERVPRO, and we set out to help them expedite the recovery process.

Commercial fire damage incidents in Great Neck can present unique challenges depending on how each incident unfolds. The fire at the drive-through had damaged the entire store's inventory and left substantial damages to several sections of the structure, including the trusses, roof, and interior sections. The trusses and parts of the roof needed a replacement while the other parts of the structure required thorough cleaning to remove soot and other smoke residues.

Stopping further deterioration of the property was one of the steps we could take to improve the turnaround time. Our SERVPRO technicians removed the severely fire damaged trusses and other roof materials. We then set up a roof tarp before boarding up other sections of the property to help secure it and keep off weather elements.

An intense fire, like the one that affected the drive-through, burns all kinds of materials, including natural and synthetic ones leaving massive smoke deposits on surfaces such as walls. Our SERVPRO technicians spared no efforts cleaning the affected areas. We rely on different techniques, including the use of heavy-duty cleaning agents, thorough agitation, and heat to dislodge residues from surfaces removing all traces of the fire, "Like it never even happened."

Various types of debris had accumulated the loss site from the inventory and building materials consumed by the fire, necessitating collection, and disposal. Our team incorporates the management of such debris with other aspects of the restoration. We brought trashcans on wheels and heavy-duty plastic bags to facilitate the collection and sorting of the debris, allowing quicker and proper disposal.

Fire damage can lead to an extended closure of your business. Call SERVPRO of Great Neck / Port Washington at (516) 767-9600 to assist. We are available 24/7.
