Fire Damage Related Info
Fires can cause extensive damage in a moment’s notice, and the damage can continue to occur for several days. We all understand the rapid devastation that fires at homes and businesses can cause, but few property owners are familiar with the damaging effects that smoke, soot, and other byproducts of the fire can have.
At Water Damage Drying Services, we offer comprehensive fire damage restoration services to address every facet of the recovery process. We offer these 24/7 services to those in need in Manchester, CT and the surrounding areas.
Rapid Response to Fire Damage
The reason we offer 24-hour emergency response services is because the longer you wait, the greater the damage will be. This is because of the smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts released by the fire. At Water Damage Drying Services, we arrive on-site as quickly as we can after your call, and promptly work to begin removing and cleaning affected items, provide needed demolition to affected building, and implement a remediation plan to begin restoring your property.
When a fire occurs on your property, it is important to put it out immediately. Once first responders have been contacted to combat the blaze, and all individuals that were inside the building are safe, you should call our representatives.
When we arrive on-site, we begin our work by providing emergency pre-cleaning services. This is to address highly vulnerable surfaces and materials. From here, we will continue to clean and restore affected areas and belongings.
