Fire and smoke damage can be devastating to personal property and structures. Covering the Birmingham area, Tempest Restoration are experts in fire damage related services. We provide a complete fire restoration service across Birmingham and surrounding areas and can return your home to its pre incident state following a fire.
Following a fire, you may be anxious to clean your home straight away, but unless you take the time to get professional advice, you may be wasting your efforts or creating further damage. In the first instance, you should contact your insurance company following the departure of the fire services and inform them of the damage. Restoration costs can increase and damages can also escalate when the cleaning process is extended. By hastening the hiring process you will be rewarded by having the damage stopped so repairs can begin.
Immediately after a fire, soot residue settles onto the property. Discoloration of porous materials is permanent, but other surfaces can be cleaned to remove the residue and discolouration. Acidic soot can begin to stain other surfaces if not treated quickly. Within a matter of hours, all surfaces within the home begin to suffer from fire and smoke damage. Wooden furniture may require refinishing. Metal begins to rust, pit and corrode. Painted walls begin to yellow. Clothing can become permanently stained and flooring may require refinishing or replacement. If left untreated, within weeks the restoration process will take longer and cost more. Prolonged soot exposure permanently harms all surfaces and embeds in fibers. Replacement of property may be the best option at this point. The structure may continue deteriorating if not properly restored.
not acting quickly can also lead to serious issues such as structural damage to the property itself. Both smoke and water can penetrate porous materials, of which your home is full of.
You can begin to see why acting so quickly is important in containing the damage and preventing secondary smoke damage to the property. If repair costs are to be contained, a timely response is essential once the fire has been extinguished. Tempest Restoration operate across Birmingham and surrounding areas helping both home and business owners return their properties to their pre-incident state.
Remember, following a fire, your home is subject to not only fire damage but also heat damage, smoke damage and also water damage from the fire brigade services.
