The First Hours After a Fire
After the fire is put out, the recovery has barely begun for most residents in Sparks, NV. Acidic soot can start etching walls and fixtures almost immediately, and the water used to fight the fire settles into subfloors just as fast. Burned-through walls also leave a building exposed to weather and theft.
For this reason the first call matters so much. Most insurance policies ask policyholders to stop the damage from spreading following a loss, and emergency securing is usually the first step on a fire claim.

Fire, Smoke, and Water: Four Problems at Once
Fire damage is really four separate problems: fire-damaged materials, soot and smoke film, hose-line water, and lingering odor. Wet smoke requires a different cleaning method, and cleaning it the wrong way can make the stain permanent.
Experienced restoration crews often begin with board-up and roof tarping, followed by drying the affected framing and floors, HEPA vacuuming and dry sponge soot cleaning, and finally odor elimination that treats the source. They can also put together insurance-ready photo logs for your claim.
How to Protect Your Property After a Fire
Until the crew arrives, keep out if the fire department has not cleared it. Leave off the HVAC system, resist the urge to clean, and keep damaged items until they are documented. Photograph everything of each affected room and have your insurance details ready.
