So what steps are taken to ensure that the fire damage restoration procedure to your Miami residence is complete?

Fire damage restoration step 1: Complete survey of the residence

The first thing that a professional fire damage restoration team does, is a site survey. A complete and comprehensive site survey of your Miami residence is what enables the team to understand the extent of the damage, and the complied damage report can be used as quotes for either fire restoration companies or for your insurance company. The site survey should be done as quickly as possible, so that the full extent of the fire damage is understood, and the restoration process can be started.

Fire damage restoration step 2: A comprehensive quote

The quote that comes when the professional fire damage restoration team completes their survey helps you, as a homeowner in Miami, Fort Lauderdale or the surrounding area, to realize the full extent of the fire damage caused to your house. This quote is invaluable when you look for the best fire damage restoration teams, and if such a tragedy happens again, you can keep the quote on record for review.

Fire damage restoration step 3: Restoration and Inspection

After you have received your quote and found a suitable fire damage restoration company, the restoration process begins. It is very important that you receive a comprehensive timeline when you begin the process so that you know what is expected, and when your Miami home will be ready and suitable for living in again. Once the fire damage restoration process is complete, the fire damage restoration company you selected has to make sure that everything is repaired. Once your house gets a clean bill of health, you can be sure that the team has completed their tasks, and restored your home to its original condition.

Fire Damage Hazard #1: Water damage

A popular way of extinguishing a blaze is using water (don’t forget that some fires, like electrical fires or chemical fires, need to be treated differently). This is an excellent solution as far as fires are concerned, however it also means that most of the area where the fire took place is now soaked in water. The water should be removed, and excess water dried up fast, to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Mold and mildew can grow in a very short time, starting to appear within 48 hours, and once it takes hold of your wooden floor and insulation material, it is a long and hard process to remove and repair all the mold infected areas.

Fire Damage Hazard #2: Smoke damage

Smoke damage is even harder to detect that water damage. The smoke from almost any fire, large or small, spreads easily throughout your home and air duct systems, getting everywhere, even locations and rooms that were out of reach from the actual fire that took place. Because of air convection currents, the smoke travels from the warmer areas (where the fire started) and to the cooler areas (everywhere else).

Fire Damage Hazard #3: DIY Repairs

As the smoke, and following the smoke, the soot on the walls, furniture and carpets get everywhere, cleaning up after this sort of mess is usually not something you’d want to undertake on your own. In trying to get rid of the smoke and soot, the smell and the feel, you may very well ending up damaging more than you restore, and losing even more valuables in the process. Apart from that. but lacking the proper experience that professional fire restoration crews have, you may miss likely damaged spots such as air vents, HVAC systems and more.

Keep in mind that the smoke can affect you not just aesthetically, but physically as well. Smoke particles can irritate your lungs, and have additional harmful effects on small children and pets.

Professional fire restoration teams know what is the best way to deal with the hazards caused by fire damage, and how to make your home livable in again, clean, and healthy.
