Fires are terrifying disasters because they cause very serious damage, put lives at risk, and they can happen at virtually any time.  A fire in a home or building may start due to electrical issues, cooking accidents, dryer malfunctions, or candles among other potential causes, many of which can be prevented.  Fires cause very serious damage to the affected objects and materials, and the byproducts of the fire including soot and smoke can cause even more extensive damage after the fire is extinguished.

When a fire occurs, you need to clear the home or building and ensure everyone’s safety before calling the fire department.  After the fire is out, you cannot hesitate to call a professional to start the restoration process.

Fire Damage Restoration

You must call our experts once the fire is out or the damage to your property could become much worse.  That is because the smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts created by the heat of the fire will continue to linger throughout the property and cause damage and discoloration to the affected materials.  It is common for these byproducts to spread to areas the fire itself didn’t reach and the damage can become permanent if the affected objects and materials are not properly treated.

Our technicians will quickly assess the damage and stabilize the building to help prevent more serious structural damage or collapse.  We will repair significant structural damage caused by the fire and we have powerful cleaning products that can restore various surfaces and objects affected by smoke and soot.  Regardless of the extent of the damage, our technicians will form a complete restoration plan to get your home or business back to its original condition.

When dealing with the aftermath of a fire, it is common to involve insurance.  Our technicians can advise you on whether to involve your insurance company based on the extent of the damage and your deductible compared to the estimate to restore the damage.  If you do file an insurance claim, we provide direct billing to bill your insurance company for the claim.

Once the fire has been put out, you must call NuEra Restoration and Remodeling to start the restoration.

 

As you wait for our professionals to arrive, you can do the following to help limit the damage:

• Open the windows to allow smoke and odors to escape.
• Make sure your children and pets are somewhere safe such as the home of a neighbor or family member.
• Dispose of all food in your home and refrigerator and clean your refrigerator thoroughly if there is no power.
• Take pictures of your property to document the damage. Our technicians will help make an inventory of your damaged items and provide you with a copy for your insurance company.

You must avoid the following actions after a fire to protect yourself and prevent further damage:

• Do not clean wood, drywall, furniture, or other porous surfaces
• Do not sit on upholstered furniture
• Do not keep any food exposed to the fire, smoke, and other elements
• Do not keep or take medications that have been exposed
• Do not put newspaper down anywhere because the ink can transfer and cause stains
• Do not use electronic devices or electric appliances unless they have been inspected

Helpful Fire Damage Cleanup Information

The Effects of Smoke and Soot Damage to a Home

After a disaster, homes typically require significant restoration due to potential hazards and instability. This is a common outcome that can happen after a fire has caused damage to your home.

What is Soot and Why Is it Dangerous?

There is a higher risk of soot exposure for certain occupations, but homeowners may also encounter this hazardous substance. Soot is commonly found in residential areas, such as households with fireplaces, basement furnaces, and engine exhaust. The small size of soot particles could potentially have health implications.

Can Baking Soda Be Used to Put Out Fires?

Grease fires are considered hazardous as they have the potential to cause personal injury and property damage. The stains on the stovetop are typically caused by oil, grease, fat, or the heat from deep fat fryers. The fires are of importance and could potentially spread quickly. These are the necessary steps to take in the event of a grease fire.
