House fires create many issues, but above all else, they’re a huge mess. The trauma and tension, the amount of debris and damage. The logistics of planning a recovery all combine to create a homeowner’s nasty nightmare. ServiceMaster Professional Cleaning and Restoration understands how frustrating and terrifying a house fire can be. Our fire damage restoration team is here to simplify your recovery. Guide you through the process of reclaiming your Malvern, PA, home.
House fires have different intensities, and when it comes to recovery, some of these intensities are easier to manage than others. A short, hot fire, for instance, might do damage in a concentrated area. However, if it’s extinguished quickly enough, that damage might be mostly contained. An unattended, long-burning fire, on the other hand, can cause damage to the entire house, even if the flames don’t necessarily consume everything. The additional destruction can be due to the lingering and long-reaching hazards of smoke damage.
The Secret Life of Smoke Damage
Smoke damage can be even more sneaky and frustrating than a straightforward flame. Smoke and its corrosive byproducts leave their marks wherever they billow. For porous materials, this means long-lasting odor and discoloration. Smoke damage can also get worse if it’s untreated for too long. This isn’t to say that the smoke spreads, but it can sink deeper into certain materials and become harder to eradicate. You need to be aware that the fire itself might not only burn or singe a few items directly, but it may also result in significant smoke damage.
Why Complete Fire Damage Restoration Should Always Include Smoke Removal
Fire damage restoration typically includes handling singed and melted structures. A home isn’t completely restored until all evidence of smoke damage is removed as well. ServiceMaster Professional Cleaning and Restoration understands that smoke damage must be treated with the same level of care as direct fire damage. If smoke is left untreated, it can lead to further damage down the line. Our fire damage restoration team takes this into account as our experts walk you through a complete home recovery.
