Fast Fire Damage Cleanup Help in Foster, RI

What to Do When the Fire Trucks Leave

After the fire is put out, the recovery has barely begun for many residents in Foster, RI. Acidic soot begins staining walls and fixtures almost immediately, and firefighting water settles into subfloors just as fast. Burned-through walls often leave a building open to rain, wind, and break-ins.

That is why speed matters so much. Most insurance policies expect policyholders to stop the damage from spreading following a loss, and board-up and roof tarping tends to be the first line item on a fire claim.

A Free 24/7 Referral Line for Foster, RI Fire Losses

Fire Damage Adjuster is a completely free referral service, not a crew that does the work. Our dispatchers picks up day or night, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and runs through a short list of questions that matter. Is there standing water? Those answers determine which type of crew you need first.

Next, we put you in touch with an independent licensed and insured restoration contractor who regularly works in the Foster, RI area. These independent businesses handle emergency board-up, and rebuild work. Callers pay us nothing for the connection.

The Services Behind a Complete Fire Recovery

Fire damage is in practice four separate problems: fire-damaged materials, soot and smoke film, hose-line water, and smoke odor. Protein residue from a kitchen fire requires a different treatment, so the wrong wipe can smear soot deeper into paint and plaster.

Experienced restoration crews often work through securing the structure, followed by moisture mapping and drying equipment, soot removal with the right dry and wet methods, then thermal fogging, hydroxyl treatment, and sealing primers. Most can also put together itemized written scopes for your claim.

What to Do While You Wait for a Contractor

While you wait, keep out unless it has been released. Avoid turning on the HVAC system, do not wipe soot off the walls, and hold off on discarding belongings. Record video of the damage and report the loss to your insurer.

We recommend every caller in Foster, RI to request proof of licensing and a certificate of insurance, and to get an itemized written estimate before the main work starts. Since every contractor is an independent business, the agreement and the warranty are made directly. We are not an insurance company, and we give honest estimates instead of guarantees. If the first contractor is not right for you, you can phone us again and we can help find another option.
