Commercial & Residential Restoration Services

Both commercial and residential clients may have to deal with fire and water damage caused by fire, smoke and water. Typically, commercial fires are usually more devastating than residential fires, but both need to be taken seriously. Certainly, a fire can occur due to a variety of reasons. For instance, faulty appliances, candles, and holiday decorations are some of the most common causes of residential fires. On the other hand, commercial fires are typically caused due to faulty electrical wires, poor fire safety training, smoking materials, and arson. Secondly, fire damage is often followed by water damage as firefighters use water to put the flames out. In fact, water can quickly reach deep into the building’s structure and cause serious damage. Whatever the cause, you will need to hire the service of a professional fire and water damage restoration company. You need a company that will respond in an emergency and will restore your home or business to its pre-fire condition.

How a Disaster Restoration Company Can Help You?

Fires are very common in the US. Fire departments respond to at least one emergency call every 24 seconds. Furthermore, containing the spread of fire is the job of the fire department.
After the fire is out, you will have to work to restore your property. That job is best handled by a professional. Indeed, it is important that you don’t go for the DIY approach. Rather, you should hire a disaster restoration company for the job. Most importantly, they bring very special skill sets to the table. Here is a short list.

Safety

First, fire can leave your property in a mess. In fact, there may be open wires, smoke, broken shingles, and more. Furthermore, navigating a damaged property can be very risky as smoke could enter your lungs and cause serious health issues. Moreover, there is also the risk of fall and slip accidents. Finally, a company that provides restoration services understands the risk and has the tools necessary to do the job safely and securely.

Expertise

It can be very hard for someone inexperienced to assess the damage and make the right call. There may be hidden damages that can only be ascertained by a professional. When you work with a professional fire and water damage restoration company, there’s no risk of missing out on things. This is important for insurance as well since your insurance provider will typically ask for a list of damaged items. The company may reject your claim without a list.

Quick

Water and smoke damage restoration is a lengthy process and involves several steps. It could take you months to drain water from your property (if you fail to hire a professional). Restoration companies have tools and equipment including pumps that can quickly remove any smoke and water. They will get your property back to its pre-fire condition. In addition, by working with a professional agency, you will reduce the time taken to restore your property.

Ease

When you work with a professional, you will have nothing to worry about as they will handle everything from cleanup and restoration to water mold removal. They will reach hard-to-reach areas and rebuild damaged portions to make your home or office liveable.
