A fire in your home, no matter how big or small, can be devastating. In addition to the loss of priceless possessions and cherished memories, you will also need to piece together the shattered remains of your life. Knowing who to call and what to do can be difficult in the aftermath of a fire. There may be structural damage to your home, so the fire response team may need to break through a wall or ceiling to put out the fire. And before you call the fire department, call a contractor.
Many of your possessions were damaged in the fire. It takes time to get all of them together. A lot of info is available on the Web regarding fire and home insurance issues.
When you hire Reztor Restoration, you can rest assured that our staff will be there for you every step of the way. Since 2012, we have assisted countless families in the Queensland area who have suffered losses from house fires. Here is our approach to dealing with house fire damage, beginning with the very first stages.
What to Do After a House Fire
When you are safe, the first thing you should do is seek help. It would be wise to re-enter your home when firefighters have notified you that it’s safe. Damage to the construction of your home may have made it unstable.
Get yourself, your loved ones, and your pets to the local clinic or animal hospital as soon as possible if anyone sustains an injury. After that, you should contact your loved ones to let them know you are safe and then look for a place to rest for the night.
When a fire specialist gives the all-clear, contact your insurance company and a fire restoration firm like Reztor Restoration to come to examine the damage. Do not go back inside to clean or grab anything you left inside. We’ll need to document everything as it was before the fire for insurance claims.
Keep Your Home and Possessions Safe
Once you have had a good night’s rest, start cleaning up. You will be exhausted, and a fire restoration expert must inspect your home before removing the damage. Your home is still unstable and may not be safe to enter.
If you do not have a fire restoration firm, this will be your first order of business. If you are doing so after hours, call customer service and ask to leave a message. A fire restoration specialist will get back to you as soon as they can get some free time during regular business hours.
Reztor Restoration has helped many families in the Queensland area overcome the devastation of having their homes damaged by a fire.
Your insurance provider may ask you to board up any windows and doors after the initial examination to prevent looting. You will be safe and secure for the next few days.
If the fire destroyed your driver’s licence, passport, or credit cards, you must cancel and replace them immediately. Only try to recover fire-safe boxes that you may have in your home. Personnel in the fire department can get them for you.
Maintenance of Premises
After a fire, the most time-consuming task is cleaning up the wreckage, and that’s where our crew comes in. Before beginning any work, the following will be discussed with you by our team of fire repair experts:
- The damage can be done to your house by fire and heat.
- Damage to your home’s resale value and ability to be used as a residence.
- Compare and contrast the benefits of repairing your current home versus building a new one.
- How to get back on your feet quickly by using your insurance.
Reztor Restoration makes the process as simple as possible. We recognise that this is a difficult period in your life. Our staff will clear up the soot and repair the damage caused by the smoke.
The duration of the fire damage restoration process is determined by the level of damage and the suppression measures utilised by firefighters. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way and provide your insurance company with everything they need to pay for a hotel while we fix up your house.
