Fire is a traumatic experience that causes a devastating loss. Apart from the emotional distress caused by the fire, the aftermath can be just as traumatizing because you are faced with the reality of the severity of the damage to property. This is why it is important to employ a fire damage restoration service immediately. At Water Damage Miami, we are committed to helping you restore your home to its original state. After the restoration process, it is easier to get your life back to normal.
The Importance of Immediate Fire Damage Restoration
It is important that you seek professional help immediately when it comes to fire damage restoration. Once the fire trucks leave, you will realize that the damage is not only caused by the fire. It is highly likely that there will be flooding caused by the efforts to put out the fire.
a. Safety Measure
After a fire, it is best if you do not stay in the burned building because you are exposed to potential danger. It is unsafe to stay in the building after a fire, which is why it is important to limit your movements around the house after the fire has been put out. First, the smoke damage can be harmful to your health. The smell of fire can linger in your home or office for months on end even if you air out the smoke.
In addition to this, the structure of your home will be weak after a fire. If you stay in the building after a fire, you are exposing yourself to more danger than necessary. Since the floor is wet, you can slip and land on electrical hazards, which is extremely dangerous. Moreover, there can also be broken plumbing or exposed electrical wires, which can be risky for those residing in the burnt building. You are also exposed to products that have been damaged by fire. While your kitchen and cleaning products are safe to use before the fire, the quality of these products is now spoiled. Another potential danger arises from the fact that the components in these products can be mixed with one another and result in an unpleasant reaction.
b. Saving Valuables
If you were quick to call the authorities regarding the fire, it highly likely that you can still save some of your belongings. When you decide to clean up the fire yourself, you can end up destroying the item by inappropriate cleaning procedures. This is why we employ different cleaning methods that are appropriate to the current condition of your items.
Professionals, such as those working in Water Damage Miami, know how to restore your valuable items, especially those with high value like jewelry and electronics. You would be able to minimize your expenses after a fire because you do not need to replace your belongings if you can just restore them.
c. Ease of Cleaning
Another advantage of hiring a professional fire damage restoration team like Water Damage Miami is that you can expect a more thorough cleanup of the damaged area. Even if the structure of the home is unaffected, the fire will leave visible traces and stains on your walls and other surfaces. Cleaning up the water that was used to put out the fire can also be difficult and dangerous after a fire if you do it on your own.
These three factors are the most basic benefits provided by Water Damage Miami when you call for their service after a fire. You are likely to save up on potential expenses when you hire a professional to restore your home or office. In addition to this, you can also save up on time and effort. You do not want to overburden yourself, especially after you have faced the trauma of a fire.

The Water Damage Miami Fire Damage Restoration Process
Step 1: Fire Damage Assessment
The first thing that we do when we get to the scene is to assess the damage caused by the fire. We also check for other damages present in the area. Once we have examined the damage of the fire, we assess the necessary steps that need to be done to restore your home or office. Afterward, we list these steps down and present them to you along with the estimated cost of the restoration. We do the estimation and assessment process at no extra cost.
Step 2: Fire Damage Restoration
Once we have finished the assessment, it is time to get to business.
We begin the fire damage restoration immediately to ensure that we can minimize the damage to your property. The most common steps that are undertaken for fire damage restoration are water cleanup and restoration, stain removal, and repainting. Water cleanup is undertaken when there is flood due to a large amount of water needed to put out the fire. The water is dried out to ensure that it can bring no further damage to the property. On the contrary, stain removal is done if the traces left by the fire are rather minimal. However, if the fire damaged your property heavily, it may also be necessary to repaint your property.
Since the effects of a fire can be devastating, some of your valuables cannot be restored to its original stated. On the other hand, we do our best to save as many of your items as necessary because we know that they are valuable for you. Our aim is to help you restore your items and not to replace them. We will use different cleaning methods depending on what is applicable for your valuables and property. If the stain is light, we will use the dry cleaning method by wiping them with a clean mat or rug. We also use the dry cleaning method for pre-cleaning any stain that needs wet cleaning. When the stain is too heavy for dry cleaning, we will use water to clean out the stain. However, if the item that we are cleaning should not be exposed to water, we will use the spray and wipe method. If the item needs a more thorough cleanup, we will use the abrasive cleaning method or we will immerse the items in a tub of cleaning product for easier cleaning.
After the fire damage restoration process is over, no visible traces of the fire will be left on your property.
Step 3: Smoke Removal
After the traces of the fire are eliminated, it is time to remove the odor and smoke left on the property. In order to remove the smoke and smell, we employ the use of the best deodorizers to keep your home smelling fragrant and fresh. We also air out the smoke by opening the windows for better air circulation. This ensures that the air in your home is safe to breathe in.
Step 4: Soot and Ash Cleanup
Once the smell of the smoke is removed, it is time to remove the ashes left by the fire. We will be giving your home a good scrub to keep the soot and ashes away. In addition to this, we will also ensure that no ash and soot will remain on your carpet and upholstery. While this seems like a simple step, it is actually important that a professional will do it after a fire.
