No one ever wants to see their property fall victim to a fire as fires can cause immense damage in a brief amount of time. There are so many ways a fire can start which makes them possible at any time and anything consumed by the flames will likely be destroyed. If a fire occurs, you need to ensure that the building is evacuated before calling the fire department to put out the fire. As soon as it’s extinguished, you need to begin the restoration process before the lingering smoke and soot cause additional damage.
At RestorationMaster, we can help homes and businesses in Gretna, NE that have been damaged by a fire with our fire damage restoration services. Our technicians are equipped to provide structural repairs and stabilization, cleaning of soot and smoke damage, and removal of smoke odors.
Damage Caused by Smoke and Soot
The damage caused by the flames is immediate and as soon as the fire is out, this type of damage stops. However, the smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts that the fire creates are still present after the fire is out and they will continue to cause additional damage. It is important to start the restoration of your property as quickly as possible after a fire because the damage from smoke and soot will continue to get worse and many common household materials like wood and drywall will experience permanent damage.
Our technicians will immediately evaluate the extent of the damage and start the pre-cleaning process to prevent permanent damage from smoke and soot. We will then stabilize and repair structural damage and clean up the affected areas to get your home or building back to its original state. We can also provide water damage restoration services for building materials that were severely damaged by fire hoses.
