Fires are devastating. Not only does the fire damage surfaces, but smoke damage and damage from the water used to extinguish the fire can make things even worse. Fire damage restoration requires several things.

Handling the Fire’s Damage

The fire damage itself may also include the actual structural components of the home such as drywall, studs, floor joists, and roof trusses. All damaged items need to be removed. Additionally, electrical wiring and plumbing repairs may be necessary. Restoring the structural integrity of the home is the first priority.

Minimizing Water Damage

Removing water damage fast is important since it only takes a matter of hours before mold begins to grow. Removing all wet surfaces, including damaged drywall and flooring, is necessary. Once this is done, those surfaces need proper cleaning and treatment to prevent mold growth.

Overcoming Smoke Damage

Fire damage cleanup nearly always involves smoke damage care. This may include cleaning surfaces, sanitizing the HVAC system, and painting rooms to lock out the scent of the smoke. Discoloration on surfaces also needs to be taken care of professionally to restore the property. Damage from smoke and soot can be very difficult to remove by yourself. It is best done by trained professionals with specialized treatments and equipment.
