Can you do Fire Damage Cleaning Yourself?

Like most home restoration activities, you can do fire clean up yourself. However, using a home restoration company will definitely provide better results than you can achieve yourself!

Fire damage services utilize professional-grade tools and proven approaches to eliminate the traces of smoke and fire damage from your home or business. Fire restoration professionals will use the right tools and cleaning products to effectively get soot and smoke out of porous materials and restore or replace burnt materials.

Also, unlike homeowners who will need to fit in cleanup activities around their existing work and family commitments, fire cleanup crews will dedicate their time to fixing fire damage at your property until it’s done. They will get started right away and finish faster to ensure optimal results. This will get your home or business back to its original state sooner, which is especially important if water was used to put out the fire because fire damage can also lead to mold growth if it’s not cleaned up quickly.

Because fire restoration companies specialize in fire cleanup, they can more effectively remedy damage by clearly identifying what can be fixed and what needs to be discarded and replaced. This is one area where homeowners can really benefit from using the pros because they will give an unbiased assessment of what can stay and what needs to go, whereas homeowners are personally attached to their belongings and often try to save things that should really be replaced. This is especially important when trying to remove smoke odors because keeping smokey materials that can’t have soot and smoke fully removed will cause foul odors to linger no matter what else has been done in the space to eliminate them. In these instances, having an impartial professional to tell you what you need to let go of to ensure the best results is absolutely instrumental in achieving the best outcome.

Finally, home restoration pros will likely be able to advise on when more serious work is needed, like when structural damage may have been done by the fire, or if home electrical or plumbing work is needed to repair items that appear to have been damaged.
