The way a home is restored after a fire!

1/24/2020 (Permalink)

A fire–and the smoke that’s generated –impacts specific aspects of a house differently and therefore each area may call for a different method of sanitizing, restoring or rebuilding.

You may not be able to observe the extent of the fire damage because often it has occurred in areas that aren’t visible, such as behind walls and in the attic or it has affected the structural, electrical or plumbing systems.

Even walls or surfaces that are not in the same room where the fire originated can be damaged.

In addition, surfaces with smoke damage and soot require special cleaning agents, as ordinary household cleaning products can be ineffective or may even cause additional damage.

If water damage happens –from extinguishing the flames or if the sprinkler system goes off through the fire then there is a potential for mold growth, which may also have to be addressed in addition to fire and smoke damage.

If you experience a fire and need a clean up done do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Hancock County at 419-299-3774.
