How to Restore Damage After a House Fire
October is National Fire Prevention Month. According to the US Fire Administration, there were 1,298,000 fires in 2014, 3,275 deaths and $11.6 billion in damages. Fortunately, these statistics have decreased from previous years’ data, but fire damage remains a concern for homeowners.
Unfortunately, some fires cannot be prevented. If your house has minor to moderate fire damage, the team at M. Brett Painting Company can help restore its appearance. What can we do?
Identify the Dangers
After a fire, you could be faced with toxic gases and ash, smoke and heat damage or mold and mildew growth. These present a danger to health and safety, should you remain in the home. When you hire M. Brett Painting, we will use professional equipment to identify the these risks and attempt to salvage your belongings.
In some cases, the most dangerous damage is unseen to homeowners; let us find and remove these contaminants for you and your family.
Clean Your Home
When we arrive on the scene, we will start with smoke and ash removal, two pollutants that can put health in jeopardy.
If the fire department was brought in to stop the flames, your carpeting and furniture is likely very wet. Not only can we help speed up that drying process, but we specialize in carpet cleaning and restoration as well. If carpet needs to be completely removed, we can do that too. Our team can handle everything from disinfecting and deodorizing to air vent and duct cleaning.
Save Important Items
Although we cannot guarantee that fire damage has not affected your most prized possessions, we will do our best to salvage everything from your furniture to important documents and favorite wall hangings. Replacing many of these items can be costly, not to mention structural damage to your home. It’s the least we can do to try and lift some of the burden off your shoulders.
Interior Painting & Wallpapering
After a fire, your walls will be stained with smoke and burn marks. Whether your interior rooms are painted or wallpapered, we can transform them with a fresh coat or new sheets. Our expert team specializes in proper surface preparation and never rushes through a job, so your new walls will last.
Following such an emotionally charged event, you can be unsure of where to turn first. At M. Brett Painting Company, we want to help put your home and life back together. To learn more about our residential fire restoration services, contact us today.
