Fire Damage

What is fire damage restoration?

After making sure all those who occupy are safe, the aftermath of this destructive force can be overwhelming. Aside from the area(s) that were in direct contact with the fire, there is smoke damage, soot damage, even water damage. All of which, if left too long, will have permanent ramifications. 

Keeping in mind it doesn’t always have to be a massive blaze that does damage. It could be a slight furnace malfunction or the chimney flue shut in the fire place — smoke can and will leave a lasting mark on all areas it comes in contact with. That’s why it’s imperative to not only contact a fire damage restoration company immediately, but to make sure you’ve got the right crew for the job. 

A crew who understands how precious the number one financial investment you will ever make is to you and your family. A crew like Home Maintenance Associates. 

What to do when you need a fire damage restoration company?

According to Resolve By Lowe’s, here are the steps you should take when you have fire, smoke, and soot damage: 

Contact a fire restoration company.

This step is of critical importance because time is of the essence. The longer the damage lingers, the more likely it will become a total loss.
