Documents damaged by water used to put out a house fire.

Your home contains many of your most valuable possessions. SERVPRO of Brainerd and Park Rapids understands the trauma you experience after a home fire.

According to the Minnesota State Fire Marshall's office, in the last five years there have been approximately 5000 house fires per year! 

Only one will matter to you! Not only do you have to clean up from the fire itself, but also the water used to extinguish the fire.

You may be asking questions like:

• Have I lost all of my family photos?
• Can the quilt my Grandmother made me be cleaned?
• Is the picture my friend painted for me as a wedding present able to be saved?

SERVPRO of Brainerd and Park Rapids will follow the following steps for the cleanup and restoration process of your personal belongings referred to as contents.
