What to Expect with Wildfire Restoration Services
Initial Assessment of Damage
We always recommend contacting wildfire restoration services as soon as possible. That’s because damage can worsen over time—for example, standing water left unattended in a building can cause structural damage, mold, pests, and other concerns. After you’ve reached out, one of the first steps to expect is an initial assessment of damage:
- Evaluating the severity of issues. Some damage may be obvious at a glance. But other problems, especially subsurface damage, will require powerful equipment to identify. We assess affected areas to determine the severity of damage.
- Creating a scope of work. One of the great benefits of 1-800 WATER DAMAGE is the precision we take when treating issues. That’s because, after an initial assessment, we’re able to create a custom and targeted action plan to address damage.
- Offering clear timelines and costs. Once we’ve evaluated the damage and determined what’s needed to correct it, we can offer clear and upfront pricing and timelines. That way you’ll know what to expect with the restoration process.
Water and Smoke Removal
When a wildfire occurs, damage doesn’t solely come from the fire itself. You may also have standing water and residue from firefighting efforts. Removing water, smoke, and other residue is one of our earliest priorities for wildfire restoration services:
- Removing standing water and moisture. We use professional extraction equipment to remove standing water, as well as professional-grade, high-capacity dehumidifiers to dry up moisture.
- Treating smoke, soot, and residue. Our treatment methods will vary based on the type of residue and smoke we find, ensuring greater impact with cleaning methods.
- Cleaning indoor air. It’s not unusual for indoor air to be badly contaminated with smoke, odors, and other pollutants. We’ll work on removing these particles and restoring the indoor air quality to its pre-loss condition.
Damage Repair Services
Once water and smoke have been removed from the premises, the next big stage of wildfire restoration services is to repair surface and structural damage:
- Treating mold. Even if mold isn’t visible, it’s possible that growth has occurred as a result of standing water and moisture in the air. We’ll investigate your space for mold and treat it comprehensively.
- Repairing surface and structural damage. Our teams of professionals are capable of repairing surfaces that have been affected by fire damage or water damage. If structural damage has occurred, we’ll take steps to address this as well.
With our wildfire restoration services, you can be confident that your property will be returned to its pre-fire condition. That’s one less thing for you to worry about at this incredibly stressful time.
