Once firefighters put out the flames of raging fires, fire restoration companies can safely enter the scorched premises and begin restoration work. Due to the urgent nature of such situations, fire restoration companies work diligently on a 24/7 schedule to extract water, remove debris and repair and restore residential and commercial properties. This round the clock effort takes dedication, teamwork, professionalism and expertise.
Fire restoration companies do more than repair and restore the structural integrity of water and fire damaged properties. They also provide content restoration services to personal and household items that were damaged during fire emergencies. Many belongings damaged by smoke, soot or water may be salvaged rather than replaced. Some of the bigger professional fire restoration companies have the resources to invest in a state of the art content restoration facility and the expertise to offer content salvaging services. These facilities have dedicated staff working with the latest technologically advanced tools and equipment to remove smoke odors and clean and restore toys, books, furniture, artwork, electronics, fabrics, and many more. Fire restoration companies also store valuables in their climate controlled content restoration facility until all property repair work is done and owners are ready to accept the salvaged items back.
In addition to water extraction, debris cleanup, structural repair, content restoration, and storage services, fire restoration companies offer door and window boarding services to prevent vandalism, looting and further damage and destruction to fire damaged properties. Moreover, they cover damaged roofs to preclude additional damages from rain, sun and wind. Finally, fire restoration companies routinely bill homeowners' insurance companies directly for quick processing of claims.
