It is difficult to imagine a more devastating disaster than a fire. Fires can happen in homes and buildings at any time, and they cause major damage while putting lives in danger. The first thing to do when a fire occurs is to save lives by evacuating the property, and you must call the fire department to put the fire out. It may be a relief to have the fire put out, but this does not stop the damage as the smoke and soot that remain will cause additional damage to the property. As soon as the fire is put out, you need to call our professionals to prevent additional damage and start the restoration.
ServiceMaster All Care Restoration provides fire and smoke damage restoration services to help affected homes and businesses in Tempe, AZ. Our technicians are trained and equipped to handle every aspect of the restoration from structural repairs to cleaning soot damage. We also work with your insurance provider to help your claim go smoothly.
Damage Caused by Fire and Smoke
With so many potential causes, fires are always a threat to occur in homes and buildings. Within an instant, the flames of a fire can spread and destroy the structural elements and materials they encounter. The structural damage caused by the flames can leave the building unstable and vulnerable to additional damage from outside elements.
As the fire burns, the combustion of affected materials creates byproducts like smoke and soot. These byproducts are corrosive and will keep spreading through the property after the fire is out. Materials affected by smoke and soot may become tarnished and burned and they require professional cleaning to avoid permanent damage.
The other issue with fires and smoke is that they leave behind foul odors. These odors are difficult to remove because they get absorbed into porous building materials and furnishings. It takes professional deodorization processes to extract smoke odors from affected materials.
Fire Damage Repair and Restoration
As soon as the fire is put out on your property, make sure you call our professionals to start the fire damage cleanup. Our technicians will stabilize the structural damage to prevent collapse and start cleaning soot to prevent permanent damage. We will then evaluate the damage done to your property so we can form a step-by-step restoration plan. The restoration will include structural repairs as well as cleanup of smoke and soot damage.
Our fire damage restoration services include the following steps:
- Evaluation of the fire and smoke damage
- Pre-cleaning of soot damaged items and materials
- Structural repairs
- Restoration of flooring, furnishings, walls, ceilings, and personal items damaged by soot
- Smoke odor removal
Smoke and Soot Damage Cleaning
In many cases involving a fire, the majority of the damage is caused by the smoke and soot after the fire is out. Smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts will spread and settle onto various surfaces and objects, often spreading to areas the fire did not reach. Soot causes etching and tarnishing to the affected materials and without the proper cleaning, the affected materials will become permanently damaged. Our technicians can effectively clean and restore materials affected by soot including carpeting, upholstery, aluminum, marble, stainless steel, and more.
If your property is damaged by a fire, you need to call our professionals as soon as possible for fire damage restoration. Our technicians will help limit the spread of the damage and form a plan to restore your property to its pre-fire state. You can reach us 24 hours a day at (623) 486-0700 for fire damage restoration in Tempe, AZ.
