Trusted Fire Damage Recovery Dispatch in Somerset, OH CO

What to Do When the Fire Trucks Leave

After the fire is put out, the hard part is only beginning for many property owners in Somerset, OH. Fine soot particles starts damaging finishes very quickly, and firefighting water settles into drywall at the same time. Burned-through walls also leave a building vulnerable overnight.

For this reason the first call matters so much. Many insurance policies require policyholders to stop the damage from spreading following a loss, and emergency securing is usually the first line item on a fire claim.

A Free 24/7 Referral Line for Somerset, OH Fire Losses

Fire Damage Adjuster is a completely free referral line, and we do not send our own crews. A real person answers the phone at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and asks the practical questions that matter. Are the roof or windows open? What you tell us determine which type of crew you need first.

From there, we match you with an local licensed and insured restoration contractor who already works in the Somerset, OH community. These independent businesses can take care of soot and smoke residue removal, and rebuild work. Callers pay us nothing for the connection.

Fire, Smoke, and Water: Four Problems at Once

A typical fire is actually several problems at once: fire-damaged materials, smoke and soot residue, water left behind by the fire department, and stubborn smell. Fuel oil soot from a furnace puffback calls for a different cleaning method, and cleaning it the wrong way can make the stain permanent.

The crews we refer commonly begin with a safety check and securing, then move on to moisture mapping and drying equipment, soot removal with the right dry and wet methods, and finally odor elimination that treats the source. Most can also prepare itemized written scopes for your insurance review.

What to Do While You Wait for a Contractor

While you wait, stay out of the building unless it has been released. Avoid turning on the HVAC system, do not wipe soot off the walls, and do not throw anything away yet. Photograph everything of the damage and find your policy number.

We encourage every caller in Somerset, OH to request proof of licensing and a certificate of insurance, and to insist on a written scope before the main work starts. Because every contractor is an independent business, pricing, warranties, and work agreements are set directly. We are not an insurance company, and arrival times depend on location, weather, and demand. If the first contractor is not right for you, you can phone us again and we can help find another option.
