What to Do in the First Hours After a Fire
A fire does not end when the flames are out. Smoke residue, standing water and exposed structures can cause further damage within hours. That is why Sewanee, TN 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.
Fire Damage Flint keeps a dispatch line staffed 24/7, and aims to get a crew to the property within about an hour. For Sewanee, TN 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
Every fire leaves a different kind of residue. 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 Sewanee, TN identify the smoke type first and then match the cleaning method to the surface, which prevents smearing and permanent staining.
Lingering odor is a common complaint after a fire. 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 that the air in your Sewanee, TN home or workplace is genuinely clean again.
Do not assume everything inside is lost. Our contents service packs out your items, cleans them off-site and returns them once the repairs are finished, keeping them safe while the structure is repaired.
