Fires tend to produce corrosive byproducts when they burn any kind of synthetic materials. These byproducts, combined with smoke and soot, can cause substantial damage to furnishings and surfaces.
This damage can often penetrate areas that the fire was not able to reach. Thus, it is important to begin fire restoration at the earliest, right after the fire department has cleared your property.
What Is Fire Damage Grand Junction Restoration?
Fire damage restoration is defined as the process of returning a smoke and fire-damaged property to its pre-loss consideration. Restoration and cleanup can take weeks and even months owing to the destructive nature of this disaster.
Fire restoration might involve things like demolition, reconstruction, and boarding up. Other tasks include soot removal, odor, and debris, cleaning contents, and working towards the removal of any disturbed hazards like asbestos and lead.
Steps to Restore Fire Damage
Prior to the entry of your fire damage restoration contractor to examine the extent of the damage, they must obtain the official approval to carry out the process from a licensing authority.
Otherwise, there is a probability that the contractor might enter a very unsafe and risk-prone situation.
1. Fire Damage Grand Junction Assessment
After entering a property, the first thing that the professional must do is examine the damage that has been inflicted by the fire. This generally involves assessing how far the smoke and fire have penetrated into your home’s structure.
The professional must examine all items to see which need to be removed. The restoration company can get a better idea of the work that needs to be done after the assessment.
2. Debris Removal and Security of Property with Emergency Board Up
Prior to the assessment, the next step is to secure the property. This comprises installing fences around the entire property.
Boarding up all existing openings in the structure, and removing debris around the perimeter. It also involves sealing off or tarping parts of the roof to shield what remains of the property.
3. Water Damage Mitigation, Demolition, and Dry Out
This stage controls the damage caused due to corrosion or mold by removing all the water and drying out the entire property.
We remove materials like flooring and damaged drywall. Water extraction crews will use commercial equipment to dry out the entire structure. We also protect roof tarps to prevent further damage through the water.
4. Smoke Removal and Cleanup
This step involves manual labor to clean the soot and smoke from the exterior and interior surfaces. After this effective deodorizing agents remove any lingering odors from smoke.
For water damage restoration, antimicrobial chemicals prevent any mold growth on the surface. Additionally, clean-up comprises duct cleaning for soot and smoke removal that might have settled within the ducts.
5. Construction & Restoration
The final step in the process is making all necessary repairs due to fire damage or rebuilding damaged areas. Generally, in case of fire damage, parts of the house or space might be completely unretrievable during the first assessment.
This might comprise replacing and rebuilding the roof, painting and replacing drywall, replacing electrical, replacing interior counters, flooring materials, etc.
