FIRE DAMAGE RESTORATION PROCESS

There are five steps of a fire damage restoration process. After a fire has damaged your belongings and/or structure it is important to restore your home or business properly and quickly to get back to living and working. After the fire department has left, you need to call a reputable fire restoration company to begin the process of restoring your home or business to preloss condition.

All restoration companies may vary from company to company, so it is important to call a preferred and reputable vendor that your insurance company works with. Although the options may be different with each restoration company each fire damage restoration process has a standard guideline that needs to be followed. Read below to be prepared in the fire damage process to know what to expect if it happens to you.

Step One: Emergency Contact

It is important to call your local fire damage restoration company that provides 24-hour emergency services. Most fires don’t happen during work hours, so a company that provides services all times of the day, weekends and holidays are able to come out quickly and provide immediate relief to your fire damage to your home or business. It is important to get serviced sooner than later after a fire to prevent damage from spreading though-out your property. It is also important to call a 24-hour emergency company if the fire department had to use water to put out the flames. The longer you leave water in your home the more the extent of the damage is going to increase. Therefore, if property is damaged by smoke, soot or water it is important to get immediate emergency services whenever possible rather than waiting for the problem to get more severe.
