Fire Damage Repairs Process
There are 7 basic stages of repairing fire damaged houses. Understanding of what to expect during each stage of fire damage restoration helps you effectively monitor the work of the restoration crew.
Assessment
When fire marshals clear the premises for entry, experts will inspect the house and assess the extent of fire damage. It is important to determine any hazardous areas and prioritize restoration tasks.
Tarping & Boarding Up
If the roof or some walls have been damaged by fire, it is important to tarp them immediately so as not to let wind or rain cause secondary damage. It is also important to board up windows damaged by heat or deliberately broken by firefighters.
Isolation and Removal
All the damaged areas should be isolated to prevent the spread of moisture and smoke around the house. All burnt items should be removed. Preferably, technicians pack out all contents to save them from smoke exposure and free the space for thorough cleaning.
Water Damage Cleanup
Water removal and drying precede soot cleaning. Fire restoration professionals use powerful pumps and extractors to remove water. Dehumidifiers and fans dry the structures, thus finalizing water damage restoration.
In 2017, 357,000 home structure fires were reported in the US. But, to you and to us, your case is unique. This is why we will develop the best plan for repairing your fire damaged house. Call us now to schedule an inspection.
Effects Of Smoke And Soot Damage
Every fire restoration expert might tell you that smoke does more damage to your property than the fire itself. What makes smoke cleaning a challenging task is that smoke penetrates every nook and cranny leaving behind nasty soot and a nuisance smoke odor. Moreover, restoration may expose technicians to serious health risks. Namely, smoke irritates skin and eyes, and when smoke particles are inhaled, they can cause serious complications for lungs and airways.
Since modern homes are packed with plastics and synthetic fabrics, burning causes oily soot that cannot be simply wiped to form. At the same time, soot that remains on the surfaces of materials and personal items gradually damages them beyond repair. For example, soot residues need just a few hours to discolor and stain fiberglass and furniture finishes. In a few days, stains become permanent, metals corrode, and wood items require refinishing or replacement.
Smoke odor may be present in a fire damaged house for years. This often happens when the smoke has settled behind the walls or insulation or continues to circulate a HVAC system. Sometimes, it is more cost-effective to replace everything than clean and deodorize all potentially affected areas.
