Fire Damage Restoration
What is Fire Damage Restoration?
The primary goal of fire damage and disaster restoration is to get the property back to the love filled, place of refuge and security is was pre-loss. Depending on the extent of the fire and the damage caused by smoke, soot, and water, the time frame for restoration can be weeks or even months. Among the tasks of a professional fire and smoke damage restoration company are:
- Assessment of the damage
- Board up of the property
- Demolition
- Reconstruction
- Debris, odor, and soot removal
- Content cleaning
- Content pack-out and storage
- Content Loss documentation and Value
- Temp Power
- Removal of lead or asbestos
- Cleaning
These tasks can be quite time-consuming, especially keeping in mind that our locally-owned restoration team will have to contend with excessive water accumulation from the firefighters’ hoses as well as the possibility of a pipe burst or broken pipes due to the flames or any water-related impacts to appliances which may have been affected by the fire.
How Matrix Mitigation Helps with Fire Damage
Unless the homeowner is a professional in the full-service restoration of homes and businesses, it is wise to enlist the assistance of the experts. At Matrix Mitigation Services, our restoration services team has the knowledge, skills, and experience to work on any fire damage project, no matter the size or scope.
One of the first and most important aspects of fire restoration is assessing the property. For some, a fire may seem to indicate the end of life as they knew it. The damage from a fire can be overwhelming and seem to be too far gone to recover. However, a trained fire damage assessor can determine the level of damage and how much of the structure is salvageable.
It also takes an expert in fire damage to know exactly which steps need to be taken for demolition, water mitigation, dry out, and restoration. Soot and smoke also have unique issues that only trained professionals can deal with. The smell of smoke in the air and the oily residue of soot will not go away on their own and cannot be covered by an air freshener. The damage restoration team needs to act on time and do an excellent job to ensure that the fire, smoke, soot, and water can be taken care of.
Finally, we will help homeowners work with their insurance companies and file claims. At Matrix Mitigation Services, we truly care about our clients and want to see them back in their homes following a disaster. We will use our experience to assist you with your insurance company claims so that your out-of-pocket expenses are significantly lower than you may expect.
Our Process
Whenever water is involved in an emergency situation, there is potential for mold growth. The standing water must be removed to prevent mold from developing and spreading, but sometimes it just can’t be helped. Your Hoschton, GA, restoration team should be skilled and knowledgeable about dealing with mold, especially since it may be potentially toxic and hazardous to your health.
Mold removal and mold remediation services will be an essential part of the restoration process. Mold can begin to grow with 24-48 hours of water accumulation, so that is why it is critical not to let standing water remain for any length of time. The water helps to create the perfect breeding ground for mold. At Matrix Mitigation Services, we know exactly how mold develops, where to look for it (sometimes it hides in wet drywall or the HVAC system), and how to eliminate it from your home effectively.
