What to Do Immediately After a Fire
If your home or business has been touched by fire, acting quickly is imperative. Within hours after the blaze, your appliances, walls, personal items, and other building components will begin to stain. After only a few days, walls can discolor permanently and personal property may rust. Calling an experienced emergency restoration company immediately after a fire will minimize the risk of incurring long-term and even permanent damage.
1. Wait for clearance:
Before re-entering the building, wait for clearance from the fire department or other local authorities to ensure that it’s safe to do so.
2. Contact your insurance company:
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the fire and begin the claims process.
3. Document the damage:
Take photos or videos of the damage and keep any receipts for expenses related to the fire.
4. Call Cavalry:
Our emergency response line is available 24/7.
Do limit movement in the building after a fire has occurred. This will prevent soot and smoke contamination from seeping into carpets and upholstery.
Do not attempt to repair or clean anything in the building. Fires create hazards like soot, smoke, and structural damage. Trying to mitigate these issues without professional health could risk serious injury or illness.
Fire Damage Restoration FAQs
What is included in a complete fire damage restoration process?
A complete fire damage restoration process begins with a thorough assessment of the property to determine the extent of structural and surface damage. Services typically include debris removal, property securement, smoke and soot cleanup, structural cleaning, and full reconstruction of damaged roofing, walls, flooring, and mechanical systems as needed.
How do you remove smoke and soot damage after a fire?
Smoke and soot removal involves specialized cleaning methods designed to eliminate residue from surfaces, structural materials, and affected areas of the property. Professional restoration teams use industry-approved techniques to remove harmful compounds and prevent long-term staining, corrosion, and odor issues.
What materials usually need to be repaired or replaced after fire damage?
Depending on the severity of the fire, damaged materials may include drywall, insulation, flooring, roofing components, electrical systems, plumbing systems, and other structural elements. A detailed inspection determines which materials can be restored and which must be replaced for safety and structural integrity.
How soon should fire damage restoration begin?
Fire damage restoration should begin as soon as the property is safe to enter. Prompt action helps reduce secondary damage from smoke residue, water used during firefighting efforts, and structural exposure. Emergency response teams are available 24/7 to begin mitigation and restoration quickly.
Does fire damage restoration include reconstruction services?
Yes. In addition to cleanup and mitigation, full reconstruction services may be required to restore the property to its pre-loss condition. This can include rebuilding structural components, repairing roofing systems, replacing flooring, and restoring electrical and plumbing systems as needed.
