Fire Damage Restoration Process

Anytime a home is damaged by fire it results in some type of loss, no matter if that loss is in the form of material objects or just the loss of the feeling of security, all home fires are scary. Anytime a fire breaks out in a fire the home must be thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom wherever the fire and smoke touched. It’s crucial to know what to do for your home after a fire breaks out and how to restore your home to its former glory.

Even after the fire has been extinguished, your home can continue to be damaged by two results from a fire; these are soot and invisible odors. The invisible odors stem from burned woods, plastics, and other materials in the home. Soot is the residue that has a chalky black and grey appearance. There are ways to repair your home as long as it’s still standing and fire restoration professionals can help you with the process.

The first thing you need to do is call your insurance agent and figure out what they cover and how to go about filing a claim. After your insurance situation has been settled, you will need to contact a fire restoration professional, like us, to help you with the rest of the process. One huge mistake most homeowners make is trying to clean items in their home before the professional has come to inspect the damage. Don’t do this as it can result in further damaging your home.

The fire restoration professionals will be equipped with everything they need in order to restore your home and they will know exactly how to clean everything that has been damaged. If your home has water damage from the firefighters spraying out the fire, you can try to soak up as much of the water as possible on your own.
