Through time, fire has proven to be an essential tool in our everyday living. But, it can, when used in excess and without proper caution, destroy.
Even the smallest electrical spark can evolve into a destructive wall of flames...
Transforming your home or business into a charred, choking mess. So when fire and smoke restoration is needed, call the professionals at ComPro Cleaning & Restoration to get things back to the way they were - FAST.
Harmful After Effects Of Fire And Smoke
Ideally, fire would never strike a business or home. Because besides the financial destruction, fire's aftermath places your - and everyone else's - health at risk. Smoke and soot are two harmful substances not typically detected by the naked eye.
And, just like secondhand cigarette smoke, the particulate matter in the smoke clings to virtually everything - objects such as furniture, walls, and clothes. Studies have shown that long-term exposure may cause chronic health issues when residual smoke and soot is not completely removed.
4 Steps To Fire And Smoke Restoration
The first thing you should do is inform your insurance company that a fire has occurred and ask them what you need to do to initiate a claim. The insurance company will give you specific instructions regarding information they require to ensure your claim is processed quickly. This may include taking photographs to record the damage and calling ComPro to come in and assess the damage.
Realize that fire damage must be dealt with immediately to minimize health hazards and safety threats.
- Always proceed with caution. Because depending on how recently the fire occurred, "hot spots" may still be present. Additionally, there may be hidden structural damage that makes the entire building hazardous. Keep an eye out for holes, gaps, and cracks around the house cause by the fire. Attempting any remediation process without care can lead to serious accidents.
- Clean and disinfect everything exposed to smoke or soot. This includes floors, furniture, walls, and any places potentially exposed to heat. Even the smallest amount of smoke or soot missed is enough to leave contaminants that can be detrimental to your health. It is therefore essential that the work be performed by professional cleaners experienced in fire and smoke remediation.
- Thoroughly inspect the damages after all fire damaged debris has been removed. Besides health hazards, fire can also destroy material objects, especially if subjected to high heat or dense smoke. The weakening of walls, damaged electrical wiring, and cracked floors are aggravated by exposure to fire and/or high heat.
- Hire professional help. Since 1991. ComPro has served Southern Alberta with fire and smoke restoration and has a proven track record of fast, efficient repairs and happy clients – both residential and commercial.
