What Does Fire Restoration in Keene, NH Involve?

Fire restoration services cover every phase of recovery, from the first emergency call through final reconstruction. Smoke, soot, and the water used to extinguish a fire can all cause distinct types of damage requiring separate, skilled approaches. Bergeron Construction handles partial and full restorations for both residential and commercial properties, so you work with one trusted team from start to finish.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Our fire restoration services follow a clear, step-by-step plan so you always know what to expect.

   1. Emergency assessment: Our team arrives promptly to evaluate structural damage, smoke penetration, and water intrusion left by            fire hoses.

   2. Stabilization and cleanup: We secure the property, remove debris, extract moisture, and begin smoke and soot remediation to                    prevent further deterioration.

   3. Smoke and odor removal: Specialized equipment addresses soot residue on walls, ceilings, and contents, as well as lingering                    odors that persist long after the flames are out.

   4. Structural repair and rebuilding: From roof repairs to complete reconstruction, our licensed carpenters and tradespeople restore                your property to its pre loss condition.

   5. Final inspection and closeout: We walk through the completed work with you to confirm every detail meets your expectations                   before we consider the job done.



Does Insurance Cover Fire Restoration?

Most homeowner and commercial property policies cover fire damage restoration, though coverage details vary. Bergeron Construction has established working relationships with major carriers including Liberty Mutual, State Farm, Nationwide, and Safeco, and we work directly with you and your adjuster to navigate the claims process. Our fire restoration services in Keene, NH property owners, receive full support throughout insurance coordination.

Smoke, Soot, and Water Damage Cleanup

Fire damage is rarely limited to charred surfaces. Smoke infiltrates wall cavities, ductwork, and insulation, and soot residue can corrode surfaces for weeks if not addressed. In many Keene and Swanzey properties, water used to control a fire causes additional structural damage, including wet framing, damaged flooring, and mold risk, especially during cold winters when trapped moisture freezes and expands. Bergeron Construction addresses all these issues as part of a comprehensive restoration scope and provides water restoration services when secondary flooding is part of the damage.
