Having a fire ravage your home or business in any way is a very unfortunate situation all on its own. The last thing that you want is to want to deal with mold or other types of build-up after the fire subsides. You can essentially give us a call right after the fire department leaves your property. What we are going to want to do is give all of the areas that were damaged by the fire a thorough cleaning. This is going to allow us to really see what the extent of the damage is.

Usually, after major fire damage, the fire department will do their best to try and mitigate the potential for a new fire to develop. They are probably going to be out of your way within the day unless there is some type of investigation involved. The first thing that we want to do is go in and really clean all of your floors, drywall, and other areas. To make sure that there is no smoke damage or any type of residue that could potentially lead to a new fire.

​It is actually not uncommon to see mold developing over a fire-damaged area. We actually see this quite a bit in uncleaned fireplaces and that is why you want to have your kitchen hood cleaned out pretty regularly. Most of the causes for home fires are things that we see everyday and that we don’t find threatening at all. We keep coming back to the cleaning, but it’s really the first and maybe even the last thing that we are going to do. Removing mold is not only going to keep your family safe from allergies, but also in this scenario it can remove fuel for a new fire to arise.

One of the most important decisions after a fire is knowing what you can salvage and what you can’t. Part of our service is the ability to remove drywall, carpets, floors, and other parts of your home. That sadly, are not going to be able to be properly salvaged after going through severe damage. In removing these areas we are going to be able to inspect what remains and make sure that the conditions in which these areas remain are not ideal for mold development.

If you are reading this and you are thinking you would probably be better off calling a junk removal company or a deep cleaning company for this type of job, we just want to let you know why what we bring to the table is important. We are going to be able to spot the ideal conditions for mold and mildew formations in the aftermath of the fire. Removing or taking steps to minimize those conditions can go a long way in helping you avoid more damage to your property down the line. That is why what we bring to the table is important.
