Your Fire Damage Questions Answered
In the aftermath of a fire, you have urgent questions. Here are answers to some common concerns.
Is it safe to stay in my house after a fire?
It is generally unsafe. The risks extend beyond visible damage to include compromised structural integrity, electrical hazards, and poor air quality from soot and smoke, which can contain toxic particles. Our experts will assess the safety of the structure upon arrival.
What should I do with my personal belongings?
Do not attempt to clean items yourself. Improper cleaning techniques can permanently set smoke and soot damage. Our team is trained to identify and use correct methods to restore salvageable items, including furniture, documents, and textiles.
How long does the fire restoration process take?
The timeline varies greatly depending on the fire’s severity, the extent of smoke penetration, and the amount of water damage. A small kitchen fire might take a few days to restore, while a major structural fire could take several weeks or months. We will provide a clear and detailed timeline after our initial assessment.
