What goes into fire restoration?
Fire restoration is the process of repairing and restoring property damaged by fire. This process involves removing smoke, soot, and water from the affected area as well as repairing any structural damage caused by the flames. The goal of fire restoration is to return your home or business to its pre-fire condition.
The fire restoration process includes:
- Assessing the extent of fire damage
- Repairing structure and contents of the home
- Removing smoke odor
- Providing professional cleaning services.
Fire & Smoke Damage Risks
Soot and smoke are only the beginning of your worries after a fire. You can do everything to clean up the residue and smoke smell, only to be left with various other issues that can further cause problems inside your home.
Some of the issues you may experience after a fire include:
- Mold growth – A combination of moisture from firefighting efforts and bacteria can result in rapid mold growth.
- Water damage – Water can do just as much damage to your property as a fire can if it’s left unaddressed for long periods.
- Structural issues – Standing water to extinguish the flames can leave you with weak subfloors, joists, drywall, and foundation.
- Electrical problems – Your electrical system can be completely fried after a fire or leave you with exposed wiring and other dangerous and life-threatening issues.
