Fire damage can cause costly destruction to any home, it’s important to know what to do to prevent as much damage as possible. Start fire restoration as soon as it’s safe to do so. Although the flames may be out, there can be a lot of dangerous points in the home. From damaged utility lines to unstable foundations, it’s important to have a professional fire restoration company enter your home to conduct assessments and stabilize the home.
Clear the Scene
Leadership must clear the home for entry before fire restoration can begin. Fires can span acres, so wait until the flames are fully extinguished before returning to your home. Work with local fire departments and leadership to determine when it is safe to return.
Once it is safe to return, meet a professional fire restoration company like S&S Restoration on the scene to assess the damage and determine what is needed to restore it. After a fire, your home may be unsafe to enter. You may have to deal with damaged foundations and flooring, compromised roofing, and potential utility damage. These are all incredibly dangerous and can cause significant bodily harm if you enter the home without the right personal protective equipment.
S&S Restoration will also work closely with you and your insurance provider to get the claims process moving smoothly.
Remove Debris and Ash
Once the home is stabilized, the cleanup process will begin. Fires can cause a lot of debris and ash to litter your home. You must clean up all of the mess before beginning fire restoration. Professional cleaning teams will ensure the job is done right the first time.
Fires can not only damage utility lines, allowing gas to leak into your home, but the ash they leave behind is also toxic to be breathing in. It’s best to get the ash and debris taken care of as soon as possible.
