Recognizing Threats That Stall Fire Recovery in Belleville Homes

The faster that mitigation and recovery efforts can begin in your Belleville home after a fire, the less property damage and total loss that homeowners often experience. Unfortunately, every situation is unique in both the spread of damaging conditions in the house and the steps necessary to recover them. Also, there are many factors and threats that can slow or stall restoration efforts, making it vital that our SERVPRO technicians address these concerns quickly and continually monitor the progress of remedial actions.

Fire damage to Belleville homes is not exclusively the destruction to structural elements and contents, but the lingering odors, residues to clean and clear, air quality concerns, and more. With numerous obstacles to returning your home to its original condition, recognizing these situations as they happen can ensure that our professionals maintain the efficiency in recovery we strive to provide. Many of these potential problems can get discovered in the initial scoping of the job before full-scale mitigation and restoration have started.

Water Damages
One of the glaring obstacles after a substantial structure fire is the measures used to put out the flames. While sometimes our SERVPRO team must remove extinguisher residues and other suppressant soiling, most often, we face widespread water damage and saturation. Without drying out this damage, microbial threats become an inevitable situation when spores in the environment grow and spread throughout the moist, warm conditions.

Structural Concerns
Fires can affect structural supports, joists, and other building materials. In many situations, it might be challenging to discern the extent of damage without a competent inspection by experienced professionals like ours. When structural concerns and threats do exist, it is vital to begin controlled demolition to prevent collapse and ultimately reconstruct these removed materials. We have a full team of residential contractors in-house to help.

Contaminants and Hazards
Combustion can put hazardous particles in the air even beyond damaging soot. The burning of plastics or chemicals in your house can present a toxic environment for anyone exposed. Our professionals can utilize air cleaning equipment like scrubbers or other HEPA filtration devices to reduce contamination of the environment so mitigation can continue.

Fire losses can present many obstacles for even skilled restorers, but our SERVPRO of Nutley / Bloomfield team can help get your home back to normal. Give us a call today at (973) 662-0062.
