What to Do in the First Hours After a Fire
Even after firefighters leave, the danger to your property is far from over. Soot, moisture and open walls and roofs can make the damage worse with every passing hour. That is why Bessemer, AL property owners are urged to call a restoration team as soon as it is safe to do so, because the first day often decides how much can be saved.
Our team at Fire Damage Flint answers emergency calls day and night, with a goal of dispatching a crew within roughly sixty minutes of your call. For families and companies in Bessemer, AL, that means boards on the windows, a tarp on the roof and water out of the building before further weather or moisture can do more harm.
Getting Rid of Smoke Damage, Soot and Lingering Odors
Smoke behaves differently depending on what burned. A kitchen grease fire leaves a sticky protein film, while burned plastics and electrical fires leave a dense, acidic soot. Technicians who serve Bessemer, AL properties test the residue before cleaning so the right treatment is used on each material, which prevents smearing and permanent staining.
Odor is the part most people underestimate. Smoke particles settle into drywall, insulation, upholstery and HVAC ducts, and simply wiping surfaces will not make the odor go away. A proper job includes HEPA air scrubbing, odor neutralization treatments and cleaning of the HVAC system so your Bessemer, AL property smells fresh and is safe to breathe in again.
Many of your possessions may be salvageable. Our contents service packs out your items, cleans them off-site and returns them once the repairs are finished, which protects them from further exposure and speeds up the rebuild.
