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. If you are in Argyle, TX, the best move is to call a restoration professional the moment the fire department clears the property, because the first day often decides how much can be saved.
Our team at Fire Damage Flint answers emergency calls day and night, and aims to get a crew to the property within about an hour. For Argyle, TX homeowners and business owners, that means the structure is secured, the roof is covered and standing water is removed 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. Restoration crews working across Argyle, TX test the residue before cleaning so the right treatment is used on each material, which prevents smearing and permanent staining.
Smoke smell is often the hardest problem to solve. Tiny particles work their way into walls, carpets, furniture and air 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 Argyle, TX property smells fresh and is safe to breathe in again.
Belongings can often be saved too. Contents pack-out and restoration moves furniture, clothing, electronics and keepsakes to a controlled facility for cleaning, keeping them safe while the structure is repaired.
