Information for homeowners dealing with post disaster recovery

Types of damage

Flood & water damage

The most critical issue is time, the longer your homes contents are left without conservation the worse the damage becomes and the less will ultimately be salvageable. When a homes contents have got wet from flooding through burst pipes, Hurricane damage or the Fire Dept putting out a blaze we have a very short window of opportunity to save your possessions.

Many people don’t realize that soaked contents will start to degrade within the first 48 hours of becoming soaked, firstly any in items like furniture the wood will begin to soak up the moisture and begin to swell causing warping and shrinkage as it dries out later on.

Textiles and soft furnishings will start to promote mold and mildew growth very quickly and the resultant spores will rapidly effect otherwise undamaged property the sooner we can start conserving your contents, the less that will be lost.

Smoke damage

Smoke and soot damage is very pervasive getting into areas of the home otherwise unaffected by fire damage, different types of fires produce different challenges when the time comes to start the cleaning process.

Protein Fires commonly kitchen fires from the oven or stove top leaves a strong burnt food odor and greasy smoke residues cover contents.

General home fires many natural and synthetic materials inside the structure will have burned leaving black smoke residue is on contents and surfaces, strong chemical smoke odors will be present many of these are corrosive and will start to etch into metallic elements within the home.

Outside fires often allow odors, soot and ash from burned trees and vegetation to enter the home leaving the contents with a fine covering of airborne particulates and an acrid odor.

Mechanical fires from electrical or heating appliances such as oil-fired furnaces that have ignited and caused smoke to be distributed throughout the property.
