Scoping Fire Damage in Ft. Pierce Involves Several Important Steps
When a blaze impacts a Ft. Pierce home, skilled remediators must identify all fire-related damage and determine the work necessary to repair it. This essential first step in the restoration process sets the stage for the remediation work that follows, ensures that all issues are effectively resolved, and is known as “scoping.”
SERVPRO’s fire damage remediators in Ft. Pierce have established a standardized procedure for scoping blaze-impacted properties. These measures enable our fire restoration teams to prepare the required plan of action for their house fire clean-up, smoke remediation, and overall fire damage restoration efforts. The steps in SERVPRO’s crucial scoping process include:
- Preparing a “scope sheet” for each room that has its name at the top of the sheet, includes the dimensions of the space and its attachments, and separately lists damages to structure and contents
- Proceeding to scope one room at a time, beginning with the room where the fire started and working outward
- Measuring and listing damages to structural items, including ceilings, walls, and floors, first and then those to content items like furnishings and other personal possessions
- Recording problems according to their location, in a clockwise fashion, starting from the highest point of the room and working downward
- Add important notes to the scope sheet, like potential restoration difficulties, the pricing of damaged items, subcontracting needs, and any total losses
- Reviewing the scope sheet, ensuring that all problems have been accurately recorded and that all information included is understandable, and photographing/filming rooms to safeguard against potential fraud
