No homeowner likes to think about the possibility of a fire breaking out in their home, but as fastidious as some homeowners can be to prevent this potential disaster, it often happens anyway. Sometimes it’s something as random as a lightning strike or faulty wiring that can be the culprit for fires starting inside of the home. Whether it’s something completely out of the homeowner’s control or the fire was caused by negligence, if the fire doesn’t engulf the entire home and destroy the structure, the home can be repaired. However, the homeowner will need the services of a Fire Damage Restoration company.
There are many challenges faced when repairing fire damage. Many people think that the first challenge these companies have to deal with is the damage caused by the fire. Unfortunately, this is typically secondary on the list of immediate issues that need to be addressed. In most cases, a Fire Damage Restoration service will need to focus on water mitigation and water damage. Since water is used, sometimes in great abundance to extinguish fires in the home, the damage that it can cause can be significant.
In addition to the water damage, the fire damage will need to be dealt with as well. This fire damage can entail making structural repairs to the home, as well as rebuilding walls and installing new flooring and ceiling materials.
In addition to this, fire is accompanied by a fair amount of smoke, especially in enclosed areas. This smoke can cause a great deal of damage to areas of the home that were actually untouched by the fire. Sometimes this damage requires cleaning and other times it requires replacement of materials.
There is also the issue of smoke odor, which can remain in the house for extended periods of time. Restoration companies typically use powerful cleaning methods to deodorize and neutralize the lingering smell of smoke that can last for many years.
