Fire & Smoke Damage Cleanup and Repair Services
A house fire is among the most devastating disasters that can affect your home. The damage is often vast; even if the fire was contained to a certain area, the soot and smoke damage often permeate the entire home. At Standard Restoration, our certified contractors provide prompt, compassionate fire damage remediation services to homeowners.
Call us any time of the day or night. We are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, including holidays. We have a one-hour response time and we offer a free inspection and evaluation to find out what the extent of your damage is.
You are not alone during this time: Standard Restoration is here for you. As a locally owned home restoration company, we have the expertise and the experience needed to help you get through the fire damage restoration process, allowing you to get back to your normal life as soon as possible.
The Fire Damage Cleanup Process
Damage Inspection
Our fire and smoke damage restoration process begins with your phone call, which should be made once the firefighters have put out the fire. We will respond quickly to minimize the amount of time your home is unprotected and will conduct a full inspection to find out the extent of the fire, soot, and smoke damage.
Restoration Plan
From there, we will create a plan for restoring your home, which will include cleaning smoke and soot, removing any water damage, and planning to replace materials that cannot be repaired or cleaned. In the meantime, we will do whatever we can to protect your home.
We secure your home by covering open areas with tarps or boards to prevent further damage. We then restore, repair, or replace damaged features to return your home to its pre-fire condition.
What About the Water Damage?
When the first responders put out the fire, they will use water — a lot of it. This will cause some necessary water damage, which we will also be addressing. We will create a drying plan and will determine what is able to be saved and what is not. We will keep you updated throughout this process.
Insurance Claim Assistance
When first responders extinguish a fire, they often use significant amounts of water, which can lead to additional water damage that needs to be addressed. Our team will develop a comprehensive drying plan to assess what can be salvaged and what cannot. Throughout this process, we will keep you informed and updated every step of the way, ensuring you feel supported and in control.
We Work With Your Insurance Company
Fire and smoke damage (and the resulting water damage) is generally covered by most insurance policies. It is important that you allow us to work with your homeowners’ insurance adjuster and set up the claims. This will expedite the process of having your repairs covered by your insurance company. Having a certified fire restoration company on hand during the inspection process can allow us to answer questions and get the claims through as promptly as possible.
FAQ:
The fire only involved part of the house. Can I sleep in the unburned part tonight?
It’s generally not advisable. Smoke damage can affect areas beyond the immediate fire zone, posing health risks. It’s best to avoid sleeping in a smoke-affected home until the air quality is properly addressed.
Should I wait until the morning to call?
No. We’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The sooner we begin your evaluation, the sooner the restoration can begin. Some types of damage can be ongoing, like water damage from putting the fire out. Also, parts of your house may be exposed to the elements, which can also lead to further damage. We must start working on these problems as soon as we can, which means you should call us right away – as soon as the fire is out.
Will you also clean up the soot and smoke damage?
Yes! In the aftermath of a fire, you’re liable to have not just fire damage, but smoke damage, soot damage, and even water damage. We know all of these different types of damage are parts of the whole picture, and we have the tools and skills to handle all of them.
