Dealing with a fire at your place, be it home or a business, is heartbreaking. Besides the obvious destruction, the aftermath brings with it smoke stains, soot, water damage from the fire response, and emotional turmoil. Taking the right actions quickly after a fire can significantly impact how fast and effectively you can fix up your property.
At Restoniq Restoration, we focus on complete fire damage restoration. Here’s our guide to the five vital steps every property owner should take following a fire.
- Prioritize Safety
Before going into your property, ensure it’s structurally sound. Get the all-clear from the fire department or a building inspector. Fires can compromise floors, ceilings, and walls, and remaining smoke can hold dangerous toxins.
Helpful Hints:
Use protective gear (gloves, masks, boots)
Stay away from electrical appliances or wiring
Don’t breathe in soot or ash
- Contact Your Insurance Provider
Inform your insurance company right away. Record the damage thoroughly with photos and videos before you move or clean anything.
Important Actions:
Ask for a copy of your policy if necessary
Start the claims process
Keep track of all communications
Save receipts for temporary living or urgent services
- Get Professional Fire Damage Restoration Help
Fire damage extends past just burnt materials—it also involves smoke, soot, water, and possibly hazardous debris. Professionals like Restoniq Restoration use specialized equipment to tackle these challenges safely and efficiently.
Our services include:
Emergency board-up and roof covering
Smoke and soot cleanup
Water removal and drying
Structural repairs and smell removal
- Begin the Cleanup
Once the area is declared safe, cleaning and salvaging can begin. Non-porous items like glass or metal can often be restored, while highly damaged or porous materials may require disposal.
Actions to take:
Remove debris and items that can’t be fixed
Separate items that can be salvaged
Deodorize and sanitize the property
Use HEPA filters and air scrubbers to improve the air inside
- Restore and Rebuild
The final stage involves returning your home or business to how it was before the damage. This may mean repainting, replacing drywall, new flooring, and other structural work.
