Restore Your Home - Fire Or Flood Damage


Having a home damaged by fire or water (or both) is a stressful and confusing experience for the homeowner to go through. After the initial shock of the situation and securing the safety of your family and personal belongings, you can assess the damage and start to figure out your restoration options. Your home is one of the most important investments you'll make in your life, so it is imperative to begin the restoration process as soon as possible to prevent other potential damages (such as mold growth, etc.) from occurring.

Water damage can happen in many different ways. A basement can flood after a storm or a pipe under your kitchen sink could be burst. Even a small amount of water damage from a leaky pipe can develop into a major problem if not dealt with at the start. Even if you dry the area yourself using a space heater to speed the process, or even use bleach to clean the area, mold will grow under the surface of the carpet or inside the walls. Mold growth can begin within hours of being wet, so water damage needs to be addressed immediately to keep the damage from growing. Find a restoration company who will work quickly to rid your home of excess water and thoroughly dry all affected surfaces. Make sure all new construction is inspected to prevent mold growth and the restoration team is licensed in Mold Remediation.

Fire damage restoration and smoke damage restoration may not be an easy task, due to the uniqueness of each fire situation and in part due to the toxic gases that are released from the burning of construction materials, such as glues and solvents.

They can work with you insurance company to get the work done quickly and professionally, helping you concentrate on the security of your family. There are may aspects of restoring your home and possessions to pre-loss conditions, including air duct cleaning, deodorization, wall & floor cleaning, carpet repair and reinstallation of cleaned items.
