After a house fire
- Soot and smoke residue spread well beyond the burned area and can stain and corrode surfaces.
- Odor settles into drywall, fabric, cabinets and the AC system.
- Water from firefighting needs to be extracted and dried like any other water damage.
- Openings in roofs and windows need to be boarded or tarped to protect the home.
Ash from cane burning
Glades residents know the "black snow" that falls during sugarcane harvest burns. Light ash on cars and porches is a cleaning chore, not a restoration job. If ash or smoke has come indoors in quantity, through an open window or the AC system, or if anyone in the home has breathing problems, a provider can clean surfaces and ducts properly.
What a fire restoration provider does
- Secure the property with board-up and tarping.
- Remove water and begin drying.
- Clean soot from surfaces, contents and ductwork.
- Treat odor with professional deodorizing methods.
- Rebuild damaged areas with your insurer.
Do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe, and do not turn on power or AC until they are checked.
