Homeowners are often concerned about what will happen to their house after a fire. It is terrifying if a fire starts in your home, and of course, your initial response is to call in the firefighters and make sure the blaze is out. 

However, after your home is secure after fire damage, it is time to think about the cleanup process. Cleanup and remediation remove soot damage and lingering odors so that your house feels like your own once more. Restoration is an essential step in making your home suitable to live in, and it also helps you feel calmer and more at peace there because it does not look so fire damaged.

What Does Fire Damage Remediation Entail?

People sometimes think fire damage remediation means cleaning off visible soot stains. However, there is much more to fire damage remediation than scrubbing surfaces. Fire damage services include:

An initial assessment of the situation is a vital first step in determining what has happened and how much restoration work is needed

Securing your home with tarps and boards if necessary so that it is safe to carry out our work and your home is protected as much as possible

Extracting any water that remains from the extinguishment efforts to ensure moisture cannot seep into your belongings or cause mold growth

Thoroughly cleaning all soot damaged items and surfaces using a range of wet and dry cleaning methods

Sanitizing fire-damaged items, so they are safe for use

Every remediation project ends with deodorization so that your home smells clean once more, and carrying out minor and major repairs to make your house structurally sound.
