When to Call a Fire and Water Restoration Company
Water, fire and mold damage can be nightmares for any home- or business owner. Like most disasters, the best cure is prevention, which is why property owners must be ready with disaster plans, and they must take certain precautions such as replacing the batteries in smoke detectors.
A smoke detector acts as your first line of defense against a possible fire in your home. Removing the old batteries instead of switching them with new ones to prevent that annoying alert is ultimately leaving your home open to potential disaster. If you’ve recently had a fire in the home and need Seattle fire damage restoration services, call Allied Restoration Company at 425-458-5756.
If you’re unsure as to whether or not you need to call in a fire and water restoration company, here are three reasons to help you decide:
-
Soot and Ash Residue
Even the smallest fires will leave soot and ash that can only be removed by a professional restoration company. While there are over-the-counter products available to help you, they will not even begin to do the job that a fire damage restoration company is capable of doing. And, in some cases, your efforts to clean the space may actually make the damage worse.
-
Smell of Smoke
After any fire, regardless of its size, there will be an everlasting aroma of smoke. This smell can taint your furniture, clothing and carpet.
-
Water Damage
Imagine how many gallons of water it took the firefighters to put out the flame that engulfed your home. Now, think about how much water damage will occur as a result of all of that moisture being left behind. Not only will you have to worry about the damage that the fire left, but you will also have to worry about mold growth, as well.
