Our team at SERVPRO of Cheshire County received a call regarding a kitchen fire at a property in Jaffrey.

Water damage occurred when a water supply line burst in the wall of this Keene home office. The adjoining room was a bathroom where some drywall damage also was suffered.

The drywall was repaired, and the furniture was replaced once the carpeting was dry.

Storm damage struck this Keene house when strong winds associated with a passing thunderstorm blew debris through this window. It was the weekend, and the window could not be immediately replaced, so SERVPRO of Cheshire County was called in to board up the window to prevent any more damage to the interior of the home.

Fire damage at this Keene home originated in the attic as an electrical fire. You can see that it engulfed the attic and roof before it was extinguished. We secured the home from the outside elements and then began the fire damage cleanup.

The mold developed rapidly on the walls of this vacant rental unit in Rindge. The high humidity allowed the mold spores to activate until a mold remediation was required. A partial demolition of the drywall is the first step. The opened up wall is then exposed to the antifungal treatment.

This photo depicts the total demolition of a water damaged kitchen in Keene. The burst plumbing on both floors left no option for restore rather than replace.
