The Fire Damage Restoration Process - What You Should Know

3/2/2020 (Permalink)

After the emergency personnel has extinguished the fire, the fire-damaged home or business is now left in the hands of the person who experienced the fire. Insurance adjusters will make a determination as to what caused the fire loss and determine the amount of fire cleanup, soot damage removal, smoke damage removal, and more. 

After the fire damage is assessed, the homeowner should get in touch with a company who is trained to facilitate fire cleanup. They will estimate the extent of the fire loss and determine what will be needed to restore healthy air quality, and the removal of soot damage and smoke damage. A commercial fire damage or a fire in the business may require a more thorough review such as to assess the lost merchandise from the fire loss.

Homeowners should be certain to avoid areas where the fire damage, soot damage, smoke damage and air quality may affect their breathing or damage skin and personal items even further.

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, our fire restoration team can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. We then use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Afterwards, we clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Finally, we work to get your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.

Experts in fire loss will assist the affected party quickly, efficiently, and within a reasonable budget and time constraints, making the service invaluable. Visit https://www.SERVPRObradleycounty.com/fire-repair-process for more information on the fire damage process.
