many fire damage cleanup and restoration processes are necessary

  • Fire damage doesn’t always mean smoke and soot. When you have fire damage, many people will wrongfully assume that you are stuck cleaning up a lot of ash and soot as part of the restoration. While there are those things often present in fire damage, the real dangers can lie in the standing water that was used to put the fire out. In fact, many fire damage cleanup and restoration processes are necessary because of damage from water, not the fire.
  • Fire damage cleanup is dangerous. Depending on where the fire occurred, you might have certain areas of the structure that are weaker and more dangerous before. Even if the area looks fine, be sure to have a firefighter clear it before walking or entering into an area.
