Frequently Asked Questions About Fire and Smoke Damage

Fires compromise the integrity of a structure. You might not be able to go back into your home safely. If the fire department says that it is safe for you to go in and collect important things, proceed, but with caution. As much as possible, it is best to let a professional check out the building first to make sure it’s safe.
When thinking of fire and smoke damage, water damage can sometimes be an afterthought. Note that firefighting efforts involve using a lot of water. Professionals should be hired to get rid of any water that is left over from fighting the fire. The experts at Perfect Restoration are trained to fix both fire and water damage using special products, tools, and equipment. We can get rid of the water properly and dry out the house to prevent further water damage and mold damage.

Fires usually cause your property to be exposed to the elements. Windows and doors break, and entire walls or roofs may collapse. Perfect Restoration offers boarding up and tarping services to secure your property immediately after a fire.

1. Contact Your Insurance Company
If you are the homeowner, the first thing to do is to notify your insurance company. Depending on the level of coverage you have, they can take a lot of the hard work away from you and start the process of getting your home restored after a fire.

2. Secure Your Property
As a policyholder, you have a duty to secure your property after a fire to protect your home from theft or vandalism whilst you are away from your home during the restoration project.

If the fire department has deemed it safe to do so, remove all valuable items from the property and shut all windows and doors. If your windows and doors are severely damaged, securing your property will include boarding these up to prevent anyone going into the property. Perfect Restoration can board up your windows and doors and tarp your roof.

3. Find Alternative Accommodation
Due to the fumes and smoke damage, it’s likely that the fire department will deem it unsafe for you and your family to stay in your home after a fire. Therefore, one of the earliest things you must do is find alternative accommodation.

In some cases, this is covered by your insurance, however, if your insurance does not provide this level of cover, there are other avenues of support you can lean on to source alternative accommodation.

These are the things you shoudld NOT do after a fire:

1. Consume food or drinks damaged by fire or smoke.
If food or drinks have been damaged by fire or smoke, don’t try to keep them or eat them. If the power goes out to your fridge, don’t try to thaw food that has already been frozen.

2. Enter the property without checking with the authorities.
You can’t go inside the building until the fire department says it’s safe to do so. Remember that a fire weakens a structure, and it could collapse on you. Fire officers, a structural expert, or a building control officer will have to thoroughly check the property before allowing access.

3. Any electricity-related things
If an electronic item has been in fire, smoke, or water, do not try to turn it on, clean it, or use it. This means turning on the lights, especially if the roof is wet. It’s possible that the fire and the efforts to put it out hurt both the appliances and the wires.

4. Any Gas, water, and power related things
Gas, power, and water companies should be told that there was a fire in your home, and you shouldn’t try to turn these services back on without their help.

5. Clean your clothes or any fabric
Do not try to wash any clothes or fabrics, including curtains, in a regular washing machine or take them to a dry cleaner without first getting help from a professional. It’s possible that these things will need professional smoke removal to get rid of all the harmful smoke. If you try to clean these clothes and other things yourself, the smell might get deeper into the fabric. Perfect Restoration can help you deal with fire and smoke damage to your contents, including clothes.

6. Clean the property on your own
Soot and smoke are very different from regular house stains. Cleaning fire and smoke damage requires specialized equipment and techniques. Improperly handling soot could cause you to spread it throughout the property and permanently stain surfaces or items permanently.

There are several steps involved in fire and smoke damage restoration. Our fire damage specialists are trained to handle this complicated process so that you can get back into your property as soon as possible.

Step 1. Mitigation Following a fire, windows and doors are damaged, entire walls fall apart, and the property becomes exposed to the elements. Step 1 of the process involves securing the property.

We’ll lock up your property to keep it from getting worse. Any openings to the house will be boarded up, large pieces of debris will be taken away, and corrosion control will begin to make it more likely that sensitive areas can be fixed.

If the firefighting caused water damage, we’ll work to get rid of it and start the drying process.

Step 2. Cleaning the structure and removing damaged materials — We clean any traces of soot or smoke on your floor, walls and surfaces. We remove the unpleasant odors left behind by smoke and fire damage. We use advanced technology and equipment to reseal all surfaces and protect your home from further damage by remnants of smoke, soot and ash. Surfaces and materials that can’t be fixed will be carefully taken off and thrown away.

Step 3: Contents Clean-Up — Professionals will take care of your personal belongings and clean them either on-site or somewhere else, based on the situation. We orchestrate any necessary moveouts, content claim inventory and contents restoration in coordination with your insurance company.

Step 4: Specialty Restoration Services — If there is something that needs extra care, like electronics, art, or refinishing furniture, we’ll make sure that a professional does it.

Step 5: Reconstruction — We bring your property back to perfect and pristine condition, including repainting or reconstructing any damaged areas.

What to Watch Out For Following Fire Damage

Leaving a fire-damaged home for even an hour puts your property at risk for devastating damage. The effects of a fire weaken the building’s materials, leading to eventual collapse. In addition, the soot and smoke that infiltrates the walls and floors poses a significant health risk, and neglecting to clean them up often results in them becoming a permanent stain on the material. That’s why we recommend taking action as soon as possible.

After a fire, the smoke and soot remains suspended in the air in the form of particles that are often invisible to the naked eye. This presents an odor issue, as well as a respiratory hazard. These soot particles, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) even have the potential to cause cancer with prolonged inhalation or exposure. For this reason, we deploy specialized, top-of-the-line equipment to mitigate and remove these hazards so your home is fit for living again.

A shoddy fire restoration and smoke deodorization lays a minefield of potential problems for your future occupancy. Only thorough cleanup is able to identify hidden weak points and ensure that they are not a hazard. Perfect Restoration and Cleaning provides a full inspection before and after our work to guarantee your total safety.
