No homeowner wants to experience a flood or fire. Whether due to natural disasters or home system failures, fire and water damage can quickly make a once beautiful home uninhabitable. If you’re dealing with the aftermath of a flood or fire, you’ll need to hire a water or fire damage restoration company to ensure your home is safe for your family. Here’s what to expect from their services.

Water Damage Restoration Services

Flood damage from plumbing leaks and natural disasters is all too common. Even if your home’s water damage is due to a potable water leak, it can still make your home an unsafe place to live. When water soaks through carpets, drywall, and furniture, it can be difficult to completely remove. After any kind of flood, your home is at risk of mold growth, rot, and even structural damage.

Water damage restoration professionals use tools to rapidly dry out and dehumidify flooded buildings. According to Comfy Living, keeping humidity levels below 50% is key to preventing mold growth, so removing moisture quickly is essential. Once the immediate mold risk is mitigated, damage restoration technicians will evaluate the level of damage your home has sustained and recommend repairs either from their team or local contractors. With experts on your side, you can rest assured that your home will be mold-free and structurally sound.

Fire Damage Restoration Services

Even a relatively small house fire can cause devastating damage to the average home. When building materials burn, they don’t burn cleanly. Structural damage, soot, and debris can make your home uninhabitable. When you’re dealing with the aftermath of a fire, you need support from experienced fire damage restoration technicians. They’ll assess the extent of the damage to your property and recommend repairs and cleaning services to get it back to the safe, comfortable home you love.

Some of the most common fire restoration cleaning services include surface cleaning, chemical removal, debris removal, and soot and smoke removal. While you may feel like you can handle some of these tasks on your own, handling chemical, soot, and smoke removal is beyond the scope of homeowner maintenance, so it's best to leave the restoration services to the professionals. Remediation crews have access to professional-level cleaning products and equipment that allow them to thoroughly clean fire-damaged properties.

If your home has been damaged due to a fire or flood, you need support from damage restoration professionals. With advanced equipment and knowledge of the proper protocols, they’ll ensure your home is safe for your family to live in again.
