A house fire rarely causes just one kind of damage. Flames burn framing and finishes, smoke and soot travel into rooms the fire never reached, and firefighting water soaks floors, walls and basements. That is why fire damage restoration in Nashville usually involves several services working in order.
How the services fit together
- Secure the property. Emergency board-up and roof tarping keep out rain, wind and intruders.
- Remove water. Water damage restoration dries out what firefighting left behind, ideally within 24 to 48 hours as the EPA advises.
- Clean up the fire. Fire damage cleanup removes debris and burned materials.
- Treat smoke and soot. Smoke damage restoration, soot removal and smoke odor removal clean surfaces, ducts and the air.
- Save belongings. Contents cleaning and pack-out inventories, cleans and stores what can be saved.
- Prevent mold. Mold remediation handles growth if materials stayed wet too long.
- Rebuild. Fire damage repair restores framing, drywall, cabinets, floors and paint.
