Even a small fire can cause extensive damage to a home or business. It is not just the burned areas that need to be restored. A structure will most likely have exposure to heat, smoke and water that require special cleaning techniques to repair and restore surfaces. Hiring a professional restoration company after a fire can ensure that the proper techniques and equipment are used to prevent further damage from remaining elements.
Smoke Damage
While fire destroys, the smoke that accompanies it can cause plenty of damage on its own. Smoke has acidic properties that can permeate surfaces such as walls and floors, causing staining and damage. To restore surfaces after a fire, special techniques and products must be used to remove the residue left by smoke. Professional restoration can eliminate stains and odors left behind from smoke damage to the home or business.
Water Damage and Mold Prevention
One of the most damaging aspects of even a small fire is the water that is used to put out the fire. If left too long, the water can destroy walls and floors. A mold infestation can begin that could cause serious harm to both surfaces and the health of those that use the building. As soon as it is determined safe, one of the first steps in fire restoration is removing all the water and moisture from a building to prevent further damage.
Due to the various factors that need to be quickly contained after a building fire, a professional restoration company should be hired to handle cleanup. Getting a team in the building that is experienced in water removal, as well as multiple-surface cleaning is vital to reducing damage and preventing further losses. Never delay; begin fire restoration as soon as possible after a fire.
