Cleaning Up After Fire Damage - Fairhaven 02719
8/12/2020 (Permalink)
One of the most damaging things that happen to a home after a fire isn’t the actual fire and smoke damage itself, its the water damage that follows.
When putting out a fire, a substantial amount of water is used to quench the flames. All of that water ends up seeping into the home and in addition to the damage already caused by the fire, water damage also begins to take place. While some home fires are contained to a small area of the home, the water used to put out the fire ends up spreading throughout the rest of the structure.
As the crews of SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford begin the restoration process, the first thing we want to address is the water damage. By focusing our mitigation efforts on that first, we make sure the water damage doesn’t further compromise the structure.
Unaddressed water damage can lead to mold growth, added structural instability caused by wood rot, and a number of problems can arise if this isn’t treated right away.
For home and property disasters, call the crews at SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford. We’re more than happy to help you pick up the pieces. (508)999-2380.
