Fire damage clean up is quite an undertaking as it requires the proper equipment and time.
A regular household vacuum cleaner will not be enough to clear your home of fire damage. If you are experiencing fire damage then you will have a lot of things on your mind, including how to deal with your insurance company.
Fire damage can have serious consequences.
Fire damage can cause damage with heat, smoke, soot, flames, and even water. Here are a few things to keep in mind after a fire has occurred in your home:
• Even after the fire is extinguished, acidic soot can discolor plastics. Things like marble and alabaster could be permanently stained as well.
• It only a few hours for soot to cause yellowing. Counters, bathroom tile, and unprotected metals can all be discolored by smoke.
• Within days the soot will stain walls and corrode metals. Wood and vinyl materials will have to be refinished or replaced.
• In a few weeks carpet may need to be replaced due to discoloration. Glass, silver, and china may become stained and permanently damaged.
Flames can cause structural damage, but acidic soot by itself can ruin a homes interior. And the problems stop there. Odor can also be a challenge as many fabrics absorb soot and smoke. Odors caused by water from firefighters can also lead to odor and mold issues.
You will have many things on your mid during this difficult time. In order to make sure that you can salvage as much of your home as possible you should employ a restoration company to help you get the job done.
