How to Deal with Fire Damage Repair

Fires can be dangerous and traumatizing. Dealing with fire damage repair after the event can be daunting. There is so much to process and to work around. That is why we want to help you understand how to deal with fire damage repair.

First, your property will have to be assessed to see if it can be salvaged. If it can, it is vital that you call in specialists, like our team at Restorative Pros Inc. to assess the damage and inspect the property so a plan for fire damage repair can be made. Fire damage is not the only concern, either. There will be water damage from putting out the fire and possibly from burst pipes depending on the extent of damage, as well as smoke damage, which can easily permeate fabrics, furniture, and other materials and become very difficult to get rid of.

The home must be secured, checking for potential gas leaks, water leaks, structural issues, water-logged areas that could cause mold, etc. Then, once these have been cared for, fire damage repair can start. This will include airing out the property and addressing smoke damage. Purifiers will be brought in to clear the air, and soot will have to be cleaned and removed. Soot can settle onto and into surfaces, and if breathed in, it can cause respiratory issues. That’s why our team always wears special equipment when addressing fire damage.

The home must be clean and sanitized, fumigated, and have unsalvageable items removed. Only after this process can repair and rebuilding occur. To make it easier on you, our team will also bill your home insurance directly to save you from more work. We know this can be a hard time, so call us today and see how we can help with fire damage repair and take the stress off your shoulders.
