Fire Damage Restoration in Westerly, RI Home
12/11/19
One of the most devastating effects of property fires is that the damage can spread long after the flames are extinguished. This was exactly the case for a Westerly, RI home that experienced a fireplace ember landing on the roof of their 3-story property. As soon as they noticed the fire damage, they were quick to call Water Damage Drying Services and we responded quickly to prevent further damage as well as start the cleanup process.
Our technicians first boarded and tarped up the roof and broken windows, followed by setting up a drying trailer and ventilation ducts to absorb the water from the building materials. Large dehumidifiers and floor “rescue mats” were then set up to dry out the floors and other areas of the damage structure, all while working efficiently to remove insulation, drywall, subfloors, and duct work that were destroyed from the fire.
After using advanced products and methods, our licensed technicians conducted a deep cleaning of the home, preparing it for reconstruction. They also conducted content cleaning and pack out services, in which each item was carefully packed and delivered to our climate-controlled facility to be effectively restored from the soot and odors.
Additional measures were also taken to prevent frozen pipes in the home by capping the plumbing and creating a “false door” on the 2nd floor to protect the top floor from rain and other elements, protected unaffected wood flooring, and finally removing all indoor and outdoor debris. After working diligently to restore the home, Water Damage Drying Services had also restored the homeowner’s peace of mind.
