Fire Restoration Tips
After the fire is put out it’s important to make sure that a fire marshal has confirmed that the property is safe before you attempt to enter your home. Handling the electrical wiring in your home or cleaning the ash and soot residue could be harmful to your health and safety. It’s usually best to consult with a local professional restoration company to clean the affected areas for you. Any remaining fire damage may cause ongoing problems and foul odors if not handled by a fire restoration expert.
The good news is that almost anything that has been exposed to smoke or soot can be saved when the object or dwelling is handled properly. With our state of the art facility and nationally certified staff, we deliver the best possible care for your possessions. The certified professionals at Smith & Sons have the expertise to prevent your fire and smoke losses from becoming disasters; we get the job done right, the first time and on time!
