Extinguishing Your Fire Damage
A fire is a catastrophic event, regardless of how big the fire and how extensive the damage. Even a small fire can cause thousands of dollars in damage, and smoke damage can ruin cherished possessions. We know how badly fires affect lives, and pride ourselves on restoring as much of your home and your possessions as possible, and putting you back in your home as quickly as we can. It may not have even been your home on fire; a neighboring residence that catches fire can cause significant smoke damage to a home as well.
It’s important to remember that safety is the number one concern in the immediate aftermath of a fire, and leaving the cleanup process and safety assessments to the professionals is imperative. If the fire department was called, make sure that the fire Marshall has cleared the building to be re-entered before going in and assessing the damage. The odor and the toxins from the fire can cause significant health risks and damage to your home.
Both the structure of the building as well as its contents will need to be assessed for damage before the restoration process can begin. It also may be important to board up the windows and secure the building to both protect the contents of the structure as well as protect against people entering the building and getting hurt.
The process of fire damage restoration can be a complex one, and depends greatly on the extent of the damage. In many cases, the buildings contents after being assessed will need to be removed before the fire damage restoration can begin. Clothes, and other possessions will likely smell of smoke and need to be professionally treated in order to be saved. Specialty tools such as ozone generators and eco-friendly organic deodorizing materials can salvage items that would otherwise have to be replaced.
The structure’s restoration will depend on the amount of damage. We offer a free fire damage restoration inspection or smoke damage inspection after a fire, and work directly with insurance companies to make sure that you don’t have to. After all, a fire is a life altering event, and there is no need to make it worse by dealing with red tape in the time immediately following the fire. At Restoration 9-1-1, we want you to leave the worrying to us, and remember that no fire is too big or small for our services.
