How Smoke Damages a Home

A house fire can result in serious damage, but something people don’t always think about is the impact of smoke on your home’s structure, personal items, and air quality. Smoke is very acidic, and effects every surface and item in your property, which is why it is a key part of fire damage restoration.

It is important to start restoration as quickly as possible when smoke damage is involved. The longer smoke and soot are in your building, the more costly and difficult restoration will be.

Water Damage After A Fire

Water damage after a fire — from fire hoses and extinguishers — can sometimes be more extensive than damage from the fire itself. Putting out a fire can result in mild flooding and dousing both the building material and your personal items. If the damage is extensive, we highly recommend contacting our San Antonio restoration company for professional restoration services. Here are a few types of water damage that can occur alongside fire damage:

  • Damaged Wood
  • Ceiling Damage
  • Electrical Damage
  • Drywall Damage
  • Carpet Damage

The Emotional Impact of Fire

Residential fires can cause emotional distress along with physical injuries. Not only have you lost your place of residence, you may have also lost other valuable items. You can’t put a price on photo albums and other treasured items. We know that no matter how much monetary relief you get from your insurance claim, the psychological impacts continue long after the blaze.

One way that Broadshield Restoration helps you move forward after fire damage is by working with you to restore and rebuild your home in a way that feels right to you. We can restore the building to look like what you had before, or make modifications if you’re looking for a fresh start. Most importantly, though, we know that your house is a place of comfort and safety. We want to help restore that sense of security to you and your loved ones!

How To Prevent and Prepare For Fire

There’s a reason why we do regular fire safety drills in schools and workplaces — it’s important to be prepared in the case of an emergency! If the worst does happen, and your home or office suffers fire damage, Broadshield Restoration is ready to help. But we also are committed to helping educate and help prevent fire damage in the first place. Here are a few ways to prepare for a fire:

  • Install smoke alarms and test them once a month
  • Teach children what the smoke alarm sounds like and what to do if one goes off
  • Make sure everyone in the building knows at least two ways to escape
  • Designate a meeting place after everyone leaves the building

What To Do If A Fire Starts

If a fire has started in your home or business, it’s vital to understand what you should do to keep you, your family, and your co-workers safe. If a fire starts, follow these steps:

  • Know how to operate a fire extinguisher
  • Yell “Fire!” to help save others in the building
  • Get out, stay out, and call 9-1-1. Leave your belongings
  • If there is smoke, get low and cover your mouth and nose
  • If your clothes catch on fire, stop, drop, and roll
