Fire Damage Restoration Process

If you have recently experienced a fire in your home in Prescott Valley, AZ, you might be at a loss about what to do now that the flames are out. Fire restoration is a serious undertaking. You can make sure the job is done right by hiring damage cleaning experts that follow a proven process.

1. Assessment
The first step in restoration is understanding the task at hand. The restoration company will inspect your home for any issues that were caused by the fire. Professionals inspect not only the immediately affected area but any rooms that might have suffered smoke damage, too. They also look for signs of water damage that resulted from the fire. Afterward, these experts use their findings to create a plan, cost estimate, and timeline for your cleanup process.

2. Property Protection
Depending on the severity of the situation, your home may need further protection. Holes in the roof and walls leave your property open to more problems. If needed, the company will seal and tarp the house to prevent further damage.

3. Cleanup
Cleaning is the most time-consuming step in fire restoration. There are many steps in the cleanup process, including:

  • Removing burned materials
  • Drying and repairing any water damage issues
  • Air filtration and odor removal
  • Inspecting, cleaning and restoring belongings
  • Moving out and storing your property in a safe location

The amount of cleaning needed depends on the situation, but even a small fire can create a lot of mess.

4. Restoration
Repairing your home is the last part of the process. A fire damage restoration company can replace any building materials that your home lost so that it is structurally sound. Remediation professionals can also complete cosmetic restorations such as carpet installation and painting.

Fire restoration is a daunting process. Having a professional to keep you informed along the way can ease your mind while the work is done.
