9/15/2019 (Permalink)

You’ve had a fire in your Branford home, now what? Overwhelming feelings of panic and stress are normal, but they don’t have to be.  There are three main steps to take after the fire has been put out in your home.

1. Call The Experts

Though you might want to handle things on your own, it’s always best to leave fire restoration to the experts. Begin by calling your insurance company to let them know of the damage. Then, be sure to call in a restoration company to aid in the cleanup process. If not handled correctly, fire restoration can be a long process – call SERVPRO of Branford / Shoreline to get it done quickly.

2. Board Up

After a fire, you’ll need your home to be secured to prevent any further damage from rain, debris, and even animals. Be sure to ask your restoration company for board up services to protect your property.

3. Leave the Rest Alone!

The final step is to leave the rest to the experts. You might want to help out with the cleanup, but it’s always best to let your restoration company handle the next steps. Fire damage can be catastrophic – but it can be even more catastrophic if handled incorrectly.  Once you have a trustworthy restoration company on site, they can handle the damage for you.
