A fire in a building is one of the most devastating things anyone faces. It can be a stressful time, to figure out the next steps since there is more than likely damage from a fire.
If you ever find yourself in this situation, take a deep breath and know it will be okay.
We provide fire restoration services in SERVPRO of Newton Wellesley every day. We know it is a huge project, but it’s easier to manage when you know what to expect.
Whenever there is a fire, it is important to hire licensed professionals.
Here are steps to rebuilding a fire-damaged house.
- Call your insurance company: It’s important to set the claims process in motion as soon as possible. You can ask for a preferred restoration company they have, or hire us.
- Asses your building damage: Your restoration contractor can recommend a structural engineer to make sure it is safe to begin work.
- Have the property secured: secure all but one entryway, and board up broken windows.
- Address structural repairs: You will want experienced and professional carpenters to take care of heavy repairs.
- Inspect and repair electricity: the fire might not have destroyed your entire home, but the electrical system must be inspected and repaired by a licensed electrician.
- Address problems with the fire damage: Your restoration contractor can find any additional problems such as mold growth in damp sheetrock, smoke stains and soot residue, and more.
- Clean up by room: Fire restoration can take several months: The company will replace ruined sheetrock, restore fire-damaged floors and even help you salvage furnishings. It is important to not rush the process
- Document everything: The cost to rebuild after a fire can be very expensive. Make sure to document everything for yourself and your insurance company.
