The first few days following a fire are often the most emotional for families and individuals, but they are the most important. As soon as the fire is extinguished, time immediately begins to work against you. It is absolutely critical that you take the first steps to save your home and valuables.
What you should not do when your home is damaged by a fire is clear: do not waste time, and do not attempt the clean-up and repair on your own.
Experienced Professionals Should Begin Fire Repair Work Within Two Days
Cleaning up from fire damage and beginning repair is not as simple as opening the windows and scrubbing the walls. There could be unseen damage that poses a safety risk to anyone entering the home. The air could be unhealthy for breathing, and mold may begin to grow.
It is very important to call in a professional repair team within two days of the incident. That is why our team is on call 24/7 to receive new requests and respond immediately.
The more time that elapses after a fire, the more likely it is that further damage can be done to the structure of the home.
The soot and smoke that linger after the fire can continue to degrade the structural integrity, and more corrosion is possible. For proper, full reconstruction and repair, it is important to start the process within the two-day window. If it has been more than two days, we can still fight to save your property and belongings.
Professionals Bring Advanced Equipment and Experience For Fire Cleanup and Repair
Some homeowners may think a simple Google search and some sponges will do the trick. What they do not know is that behind the walls, in the attic, and even in the foundation of the home there could be damage that may lead to a collapse.
It is important to call in professionals to do the job right. Fire cleanup, reconstruction, and repair require advanced equipment and experience to avoid injury and further damage.
To clear the air, we use special dehumidifiers, air movers, and HEPA vacuums designed to trap dangerous particles found in the air of fire-damaged homes. We also utilize specialized cleaning chemicals designed to cleanse fire-damaged building materials. Mold testing is often part of the procedure.
The reconstruction and repair process often requires a visit from one of our structural engineers or licensed contractors with extensive knowledge of how to identify structural integrity and safety issues. A DIY approach to fire repair can be very dangerous and lead to costly repairs and even structural failure down the road.
Our team is fully capable of handling every step of the process to ensure your safety and to preserve what remains of your personal property and the structure of your home or business.
