5 Reasons to Hire a Restoration Professional After a Fire

Utah has had its fair share of wildfires over the years some of which end up burning residential buildings or businesses. Coping with fire damage is often traumatic and confusing. Apart from dealing with the tragedy itself, you also have to think about restoration.
Here are 5 reasons why you should consider enlisting the services of a fire restoration company:

1. Safety

The danger isn’t over once the fire has been put out. Cleaning up after a fire could be potentially dangerous. Depending on how severe the fire was, your home could be structurally unsafe. There could also be sharp objects, exposed piping, or broken glass in the rubble. All of these pose serious safety concerns.

2. They have the appropriate equipment

Such companies specialize in cleaning up after fires. Consequently, they have the right tools and equipment such as air movers, heavy-duty dehumidifiers, odor removers, and other products designed to get rid of smoke and soot. Besides, they are equipped with personal protective attire which protects their bodies and faces from exposure to fires, soot, and smoke.

3. Compliance with Local Laws

Fire restoration companies are industry regulated. They will handle the cleanup in a way that does not breach local laws and regulations which you might not be aware of. Such regulations could include how and where to dump the fire debris.

4. Quicker cleanup 

A fire restoration company usually sends a team to handle the cleanup. They will take a significantly lesser amount of time than if you handled the cleanup yourself. A quick cleanup is essential after a fire. The longer the damage is left, the harder it is to restore your to a livable condition or even salvage undamaged or slightly damaged belongings.

5. They Work with Insurance Companies

A fire restoration company will usually inspect, assess, and document the extent of damage to your property. For this reason, most of them work closely with insurance companies. They could help you navigate through the numerous insurance forms and other paperwork.

Handling the cleanup yourself after a fire could increase the damages exponentially. Should you have concerns about property damage in your business or home, contact us today for free consultation.
