FIRE DAMAGE

If your home or business has just experienced a fire damage event, you need professional help, fast. That’s why we’re here at all hours, every day of the year to help you recover – 24/7, 365 days a year.

For emergency service, call  (888) 566-6653  right now.

As certified fire damage restoration experts, we use the most advanced tools and equipment in the industry and apply systematic best practices that we’ve developed with 30-plus years in the business. We put the highest value on open communication and customer service and document the entire mitigation process.

We get homes back to the condition they were in before the water event, with minimal loss of property, and we get businesses back in full operation in as little time as possible. 

If you’ve just experienced a fire, you might be wondering what to do next:

• Follow all safety instructions provided by your local fire department personnel.
• Move pets and kids to a smoke-free environment. Smoke contains carcinogenic gases that can affect their health. Start with a neighbor you trust for immediate shelter, then move them to a temporary home with friends or family until the fire restoration is complete.
• Open all the windows. This will get air moving to push the smoke out of the rooms.
• Make that call – you will need professional help, so before you get too busy, hire a fire remediation specialist who can start work on getting your home or business back to its original condition. Homeowners insurance policies require that policyholders take reasonable steps to “mitigate damages” (from tarping a damaged roof to boarding windows and making sure smoldering is stopped), and RAC can also do that for you. RAC Services provides free estimates, has 30 years of experience, and is available when you need us most. Call  (888) 566-6653  right now.
• Call your homeowners insurance carrier. All policies require that policyholders report their loss “as soon as reasonably possible.”
• Turn off your home HVAC systems.
• Empty your refrigerator and freezer if there is no power. Once empty, prop the door open to prevent odors from building up inside.
• Inventory the contents of your home. Make a list of all items that need replacing. Take pictures of the damage, too. Because, you will need copies for the insurance company, for your own personal records and possibly for the fire investigation authorities, we recommend making a digital inventory that can be accessed, anywhere.

There are also tasks you do not want to attempt on your own due to the toxic gases or risk of smoldering ash. Fire restoration services have the proper safety equipment to get the work done without the risks.

• Don’t use electrical devices like appliances, stereos or TVs until the fire restoration service deems them safe.
• Don’t wipe down the walls, wood trim and furniture or any other absorbent surface.
• Don’t sit on or move upholstered furniture.
• Don’t consume any food products, including canned items that were exposed to the extreme heat of the fire.
• Don’t turn on home HVAC systems like the furnace or air conditioner.
• Don’t water your indoor plants until you wipe down the leaves to remove soot.
