Timing Gilmanton Iron Works Water Damage and Fire Damage

The unincorporated community of Gilmanton Iron Works, NH, got its name in the 18th century because of the iron foundries set up along the Suncook River. The river runs along the length of the village from Crystal Lake. Both water bodies provide boating, fishing, and swimming opportunities in the area. Away from the water, one can enjoy other outdoor activities. Crystal Lake Park, Gilmanton Parks & Recreation, is a great place to spend time with family or hold events such as weddings.

Various landmarks can let you know that you have set foot in Gilmanton Iron Works, NH. The Old Gilmanton Town Hall, built in 1902, is the most outstanding due to its unique architecture and history. Originally, it was known as the Odd Fellows Hall, but the name was changed in 1926. Its most notable features are the flared mansard roof and the three-stage clock and bell tower, complete with a spire and weathervane. Others are the small, picturesque Iron Works Church and the Gilmanton Iron Works Fire Station.

Immediate vs. Delayed Response after Fire Damage

An immediate response is necessary after fire incidents to limit the inconveniences you face and secondary damage. Sometimes, though, you may need to delay the process for some time. A professional restoration team from SERVPRO® can evaluate severe fire incidents at your premises and determine whether it's safe or ideal to start restoration immediately.

Cases where a delayed response is justified

• There are investigations by the fire marshal or law enforcement
• There is structural instability
• There are hazardous conditions like toxic residues or asbestos 

Managing Dangerous Situations for Timely Water Damage Restoration

Water leaks create various hazardous conditions, including electrical shocks, contamination, and structural degradation. These issues can prevent you from entering the property, thus delaying water restoration. Our SERVPRO teams take various precautions, including wearing protective gear like gloves and boots to limit exposure. We also identify and remove materials that may impede restoration, such as carpets and soggy drywall.

SERVPRO helps ensure fire and water damage proceeds smoothly.
