What to Do in the First Hours After a Fire
The damage from a fire continues long after the flames are put out. Soot, moisture and open walls and roofs can make the damage worse with every passing hour. If you are in Veradale, WA, 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.
Fire Damage Flint responds to fire emergencies around the clock, and aims to get a crew to the property within about an hour. For families and companies in Veradale, WA, 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
Not all smoke damage is the same. Protein smoke from a kitchen fire needs degreasing, while synthetic materials leave behind soot that must be removed with different methods. Restoration crews working across Veradale, WA 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. 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 Veradale, WA 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, which protects them from further exposure and speeds up the rebuild.
