When to Use Commercial Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage can strike and cause ruinous damage in a matter of moments. Even in lesser severe instances, smoke damage can cause concerning damage. Smoke damage can seep through porous materials and embed itself in them. From there, it causes persistent odors and further deterioration of affected materials. These odors can be potentially hazardous and should be avoided.
At United Water Restoration Group, our commercial fire damage restoration services can help after many various types of fires. Our services can be used to assist your property back to a sense of normalcy after minor or expensive damages. Even smaller fires can cause smoke damage that lingers throughout the property.
What to Expect From Commercial Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration services can greatly assist in returning your property, community, or business back to its pre-loss conditions. However, you may be wondering what to expect from commercial fire damage restoration services. After all, while commercial restoration services serve great importance, you only utilize these services once or twice a lifetime. While the time frame and some aspects of your commercial project may vary, here are a few general steps you can expect:
Step 1: Contact
The first step to getting help is by contacting our service line at (800) 430-5838. This service line can place you in direct contact with one of our trained and certified technicians.
Step 2: Inspection & Assessment
Once our technicians arrive at your property, they will complete an in-depth inspection and assessment of your property. This will give us a better understanding of your situation.
Step 3: Emergency Repairs
A fire can leave certain areas of your property vulnerable to additional damages. Things such as broken windows or damaged roofing place your property at further risk from outside elements. Our team may board up compromised walls and windows to help protect against damage. If a section of the roof is missing, we can place a tarp to prevent rain and other debris from entering the property.
Step 4: Removing Water
While you may not think water damage and fire damage go together, they often go hand-in-hand. Water is typically used as a means of calming the flames. While firefighters can assist in fighting a flame, there's not much they can do to help with the clean-up process. The water that was used to save your property may cause further complications.
Step 5: Removing Smoke & Soot
Smoke damage can seep through porous materials and cause lingering issues. Soot, a black, powdery substance can also cause problems. During this step of commercial fire damage restoration, we focus on removing lingering odors and soot.
Step 6: Sanitizing and Cleaning
During this step, we thoroughly sanitize and clean the affected materials. We typically use fogging equipment and air scrubbers throughout this stage of the process.
Step 7: Restoration
The final step to commercial fire damage restoration is the actual restoration or remodeling of your property. The goal is to return your property back to a state of normalcy, back to its pre-loss conditions.
