Fire Damage Restoration Process

Fire causes devastating damage to structures, landscapes, and soil. For residential and commercial property owners, these losses are just the beginning. After a fire, property restoration takes time, effort, and financial investment. 

Fortunately, property owners don’t need to handle restoration alone. At SERVPRO of Coppell and West Addison, Team Shaw can help property owners to rebuild after severe property damage.

In this blog, Team Shaw discusses the fire restoration process and steps you should take after your property becomes damaged by fire.

Steps to Take After Fire Damage

Prioritize Safety

When your property becomes damaged, make safety your priority. After recent fires, avoid breathing smoke or touching fire-damaged materials. Do not enter buildings or other fire-damaged structures. 

Always allow safety officials to clear your property before approaching or inspecting the damage.

Call Your Insurance Company

In the days after a fire damages your home or business, you must contact your insurance company. The sooner you contact these officials, the more accurately your assigned representative can document the damages. 

Claims adjusters may inspect your property with the aid of a professional restoration service. Going forward, remember that your insurance may only cover a limited amount of your property’s restoration needs. Still, it’s crucial that your provider conducts an investigation to secure what coverage you can get.

Get Restoration Estimates

While an insurance company may choose a restoration service to provide estimates, property owners may still choose which companies they prefer to hire.

Get quotes from two or more professional restoration services before committing. Choose a company you trust that will work with your goals and budget to make the restoration process as stress-free as possible.

Choose a Restoration Company

Once you receive a fair quote, sign your service contract. If needed, contact your insurance representatives with the necessary coverage information.

From this point forward, let fire damage restoration experts take the lead. We’ll follow your direction throughout the project to safely and efficiently return your property to working order.
