What happens after a fire accident?

You may be anxious to clean your home after a fire, but unless you take the time to get professional advice, you may be wasting your efforts or creating further damage. Contact a professional service immediately once the fire is out. They can provide advice on restoration or replacement of damaged items. 

Why there is a need to hire a professional fire restorer? Fire restorers can prevent further damages, help determine which items can or cannot be refurbished, provide estimates and services for thoroughly cleaning and deodorizing your home. Professional services at times can be expensive, but the cost may be substantially less than the cost of replacing damaged furnishings and floors. 

Preventing Further Damage

Before hiring a professional fire restorer to do the big tasks, you can minimize further damage by following these guidelines. Before starting with the tasks you need to be sure that its safe enough to re-enter your home, ask for expert advice. Get the air moving. Open windows to ventilate areas. Install a fan to circulate  air. 

Note: If there has been substantial water damage and the weather is warm, you will probably need to keep the windows shut and run a dehumidifier. In cold weather, your heating system is operating and the cold air will usually help remove the moisture.

Dry wet items as soon as possible. Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry carpets and draperies. If not thoroughly dried, carpets and floors underneath may be quickly damaged beyond repair by mould and mildew.

Remove brass and copper items and clean them using brass or copper cleaner. Place aluminum foil or plastic food wrap under furniture legs. Remove oriental rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting. Cover dry, clean items with plastic while repairs are in progress.
