How to Tackle Fire and Water Damage

Even though some restoration and damage recovery companies may be highly skilled in one area of repair, such as removing smoke or moisture from your home, some types of damage go hand-in-hand.If you have experienced flooding, you should hire a restoration company that can take care of the moisture, as well as remediate and remove mold. The same goes for a home that has experienced the tragedy of a fire: the company that you hire for the clean up should be able to tackle the combination of fire and water damage left behind after the firemen leave the scene.

Evaluation & Planning

When it comes to both fire and water damage, the longer you wait to take care of the situation, the worse the damage is going to be. After a fire has been put out, the first step toward restoration is your home’s inspection. Once the damage is evaluated, a plan is written up, and then approved by your insurance company, the repairs can begin.

Corrosion & Mold

Smoke and other odors are dangerous to inhale and they can further damage your property. Due to the corrosive substances contained within, it is important to air out the damaged area immediately. After the air is clean, the next step in the restoration process is to remove any residue or soot from walls, ceilings, and floors. A bit of extra care goes into restoring a home that has experienced both fire and water damage because technicians have to be mindful of both the smoke’s corrosion and the moisture that causes your wood to warp and mold to form.

Protection & Repair

If an area is not corrupted by the fire and water damage, Vital Restoration’s technicians will take the necessary measures to protect the area, as well as the belongings within. In the affected areas, we will salvage everything we can. If your carpet is in good enough condition to be saved, our water damage experts will dry, sanitize, re-dye, and even stretch it to fit in the original place.

If your wooden floors can be saved, we will remove the moisture, scrub them, and even sand them back to perfection. We will repaint walls and repair what needs fixing. Even if pieces of your home’s structure, walls, ceilings, etc. cannot be saved, we will completely replace them.

Never Give Up

It is important to never throw things away. You’ll be surprised at what can be saved, and even if a piece of furniture may seem like a lost cause to you, your insurance company may judge otherwise.
