cleaning up after Mother Nature

I have worked with a disaster recovery group for the last ten years. We travel from place to place to help towns recover after natural disasters. I have assisted in the clean-up efforts of floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and fires. Each of these terrible disasters has taught me something that I hadn't already known about cleaning up and rebuilding after a disaster. That is why I created this blog. Hopefully, you will find what you need to know to help your family, neighbors or friends clean up and rebuild after Mother Nature creates a disaster area that is beyond your wildest dreams.

Are you struggling to get your house back in order after going through a kitchen fire? There are various things that must be taken care of before your house will become habitable again, but the task will be easy with the help of professionals. Find out below what a fire damage restoration company can do for your home, as well as an estimate of what you will be charged.

What Can a Fire Damage Company Do to Restore a Home?

If there is still a lot of water in your house from when the fire department put the flames out, the first thing that will be done is removing it. Basically, a commercial pump that has the ability to remove a lot of water in a short amount of time will be used. After the water is gone, your home will be inspected with infrared equipment and visually to find out how much damage the fire caused.

The next thing that will likely be done is your home getting cleaned to remove ashes and the black soot left behind from smoke. Your furniture, cabinets, floors, walls, ceilings and more will be cleaned. After all of the ashes and soot is gone, the restoration company will know where mold is. Mold will be removed with a sanitizing solution that likely contains bleach.

The professionals will also get rid of blisters on the ceiling and wall that happened from the flames. The walls and ceilings will then be resurfaced and painted to your specifications. Your floors will be cleaned if repairs are possible, but the materials may have to be replaced. New kitchen appliances can also be installed by the restoration company. When everything is back to a good condition, your house will be deodorized to get rid of the smell of mold, mildew and smoke.

What is the Estimated Cost of Fire Damage Restoration?

The cost for professionals to restore your home after a kitchen fire depends on how much damage was done. If the fire didn't do too much damage because there are sprinklers in your house, you may spend around $2,000 or more for restoration. However, you can end up spending over $70,000 to restore a home in which the kitchen fire affected others areas of the house.

You will have the security of knowing that your home will be repaired in no time by not attempting fire restoration on your own. Make the call to a fire damage restoration company so professionals can get repairs done so you can relax in your own home!
