We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

fter a fire, our goal, at SERVPRO of Vero Beach, is to restore as much of your belongings as possible. While many things can be salvaged, there are some that absolutely should be disposed of after a fire. It is important to carefully consider what should be kept and what should be discarded. When certain materials are exposed to high temperatures, they release chemicals, including:

• Plastics
• Nonorganic fibers
• Wiring

A good rule of thumb is: anything that you plan on putting onto or into your body should be disposed of. Items such as medicine, makeup and toiletries should always be replaced. This also means you should get rid of most foods, items in plastic containers, and anything containing harmful chemicals.  When dealing with fire damage, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Hiring a professional fire remediation company like SERVPRO of Vero Beach is always recommended when navigating these kinds of decisions.
