Process Of Saving Life And Minimizing Fire Damage

By Patrick Allen


That disaster that you had in your home or commercial building creates some confusion in your mind. The fire trucks have left and, along with that, a declaration that your home is unsuitable for habitation. The many things wrong with your home or building is more than the fire damage, which is bad enough.

Most home owners, in Sacramento, CA, are concerned with the things that got burned or burned up. They do not realize, until it is explained to them, about all of the other issues that come with this disaster. Looking at a few of these will help you think through everything that needs to be looked into and everything that needs to be done.

The water that was used to put the burning out is still there after the trucks have taken off. This can damage the building materials, by itself, if left for too long. It can be absorbed into the drywall and wood furnishings which may then have to be removed from the structure.

The water can also cause something that can infect your home and stay with you for a long time. That is mold. The reason water is a main culprit in this is due to the need, of mold, for moisture in order to grow. This fungus call take over the entire structure, given only a few days.

The fire, itself has burned many things. This includes the ceilings as well as walls and furniture. It has caused a chemical reaction, if you will, such as the release of gasses from carpets and other synthetic materials.

The best next step is to call a fire restoration company. They will know what has to be looked at, which is everything, and what needs to occur so you can get your house back. Time is of the essence in this regard and the fastest possible response can be expected from these experts.

This work will begin with an inspection and a few things commenced at the same time. While the inspection is going on, another crew will begin by getting the water out of wherever it is. There will also be large fans placed to begin the work on get the sir freshened up by removing the soot, smoke and any gasses present. This inspection will get into every space and underneath, behind, above and below everything.

The water, in your Sacramento, CA home, will have gotten through the ceilings, behind walls and into any space that it can. This begin the deterioration of walls and contribute to the spread of molds. This all has to be removed and anything that is too water logged will have to be disposed of in designated dump sites around the area. The actual damage done by the fire will also be repaired by removing damaged items and replacing with new material.
