Selecting a Fire Restoration Company – Part 2123

In addition to the structural destruction caused by the flames, acidic soot alone can cause irreparable harm to a home’s interior and belongings. But the problems don’t end there. Odor removal can present another challenge, and ceiling or box fans alone are not always powerful enough to disperse the smell of smoke. Water damage caused by first responders in an effort to extinguish the inferno further complicates matters.

Home and property owners may be able to salvage some of their belongings with soap and a sponge or by vacuuming and laundering. Heavy soot build-up, extensive water damage, odor removal, and corrosion control, however, is almost always best left to certified restoration technicians. These professionals have the necessary fire damage clean up tools that allow them to restore the interior of a home or commercial property to pre-loss condition. For structural damage, a general contractor may need to be consulted.

When selecting a restoration firm to perform fire damage clean up, consumers should ensure that the candidate’s training is up to date and backed by formal documentation. In addition, the company’s or technician’s health and safety certificates should be in order. Ideally, the candidate should possess vast experience in a variety of restoration skills, and be able to provide proof of professional licenses as well as applicable insurance.
