Dealing with Fire & Smoke Damage
House fires are devastating, even long after the firefighters have extinguished the flames. Apart from losing your most precious belongings, you’ll also have to contend with fire and smoke damage, seeping into your upholstery, clothing, drapes, paint, and other possessions. Unfortunately, even small fires can significantly damage your home or workplace, requiring the help of a damage restoration service.
It’s important to note that fire restoration takes some time to complete, but it must always commence within hours of the fire’s extinguishing. Here’s what you need to know about dealing with fire and smoke damage in your home.
The Best Time to Call Fire Restoration Services
Immediate action is crucial when trying to salvage your home from a fire. The sooner you act, the more likely you’ll get to recover as much of your home as possible. That means you’ll need to have a fire and water damage restoration company at the scene within 24 to 48 hours to remove the acidic soot and smoke damage that fire extinguishers produce. These professionals will prevent further deterioration and corrosion of your property, ensuring it remains as intact as possible.
Fire restoration services will also remove leftover chemicals and water from your property, including toxic smoke odors. They can also work with property owners to address the fire damage and create a plan to eradicate all odors, restore what is salvageable, and reduce disaster restoration damages.
We are here to help you restore your property back to a proper living or working condition following a fire by removing debris, shoring, bracing, boarding-up, and tarping for safety.
The Process of Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Redline Restoration’s fire and smoke damage restoration process is comprehensive, fast, and efficient to minimize the stress that many property owners experience when faced with the destruction of their belongings.
01
Property Assessment
Our team of certified technicians will thoroughly study your property to assess the extent of the smoke and fire damage, which will help us in developing our restoration plan.
02
Protecting Unaffected Areas
To contain the damage, our response team will cordon off areas that were not affected by smoke or fire, protecting them from contamination and spreading of the damage.
03
Water Removal
The fire and smoke damage restoration process usually begins with water removal, as there is typically extensive damage done to the piping. Since firefighters use water to control the fire, it will seep into the structure or furniture. Our team uses air movers and dehumidifiers to extract the water and dry the damaged area.
04
Soot & Smoke Removal
After drying the affected area, we deploy special techniques to eliminate soot and smoke from all surfaces in the property, such as ceilings, walls, and furniture.
05
Cleaning & Disinfecting
Our team will also clear your property and restorable items of odor caused by smoke and soot, ensuring you can get your items back without bearing evidence of the fire.
06
Restoration
Finally, our team will replace and repair damaged parts of your home, like installing new carpets, replacing drywall, and rebuilding areas of the property that were destroyed by the fire.
