Ramifications of Fire Damage
Fire damage is devastating. If a fire occurs in your home or business, the smoke and soot alone can damage you. But when an electrical malfunction or other negligence causes the fire, the damage can be even worse. The following are some of the most notorious ways that fire damage can affect your home or business:
- The smoke and soot from a fire causes chemical reactions with different types of surfaces. In addition to being unsightly, these reactions can cause long-term damage to your property’s walls, floors, and ceilings.
- Smoke contains carcinogens that can cause respiratory problems for anyone who inhales it. This includes anyone who lives in the building where the fire occurred and regularly works there.
- Fire can cause structural damage like cracked foundations or walls that could cave in if left unrepaired for too long. This kind of damage is difficult if settled smoke is present after the initial fire has been put out; it could create an even more intense blaze if a spark from another source ignites it again later on down the road.
Our Fire Damage Cleanup Process
1. Damage Assessment
The first step in the home fire restoration process is a thorough assessment of the damage. Our expert technicians will carefully examine your home, taking note of every damaged area and all potential hazards. This process can take anywhere from an hour to two hours, depending on the size and condition of your property.
2. Fire Cleaning and Deodorization
Our team will then begin cleaning up all soot and debris left by the fire. This involves removing charred materials from walls, ceilings, and floors and cleaning smoke stains from any remaining walls or ceiling surfaces. We will also remove any remaining hazardous materials in your homes, such as asbestos shingles or lead paint chips. We will then sanitize every surface using our cleaning agents to ensure no further damage occurs during this stage of the restoration process.
3. Air Quality Testing & Restoration
The final step in our fire restoration process involves testing the air quality throughout your home to ensure it is safe for habitation once again. Once we confirm that all areas are clear for occupancy, we will install new insulation and drywall where needed before painting over all surfaces with latex paint. The result is a smoke-free home that you can be confident in.
