When you think of fire damage, you think of rooms covered in black soot, an overwhelming smell, and maybe even the standing water left behind from extinguishment. Contents and personal belongings are caught in the crossfire, often heavily damaged where the concentration of this soot is the worst. Lightspeed Restoration of Covington can help with pack-out services and off-site cleaning of what matters most.
Protecting What Matters Most After a Fire
Fire damage restoration for Abita Springs properties can focus on several actions to restore a home or business to pre-loss condition. A considerable component of post-fire damage recovery is overcoming the effects on keepsakes, valuables, documents, clothing, and other contents of your residence. The steps we take to restore these items include:
-
Assessment—When our professionals first arrive, we move quickly to create a complete scope of the work, the property's condition, and the mitigation efforts required. We note the affected contents and their locations before the move-out process.
-
Categorization—While an assessment can give us a general overview of your home's condition following a fire, we must utilize the information to categorize the contents within the property into three categories: salvageable, partially damaged, and unsalvageable. These are recorded in a detailed account of your belongings for insurance purposes.
-
Cleaning – We utilize powerful products to loosen and lift soot stuck on the surfaces of your belongings. From dry HEPA vacuums to solvents, each content moved from your home requires its level of attention and cleaning to return to its pre-fire condition.
-
Advanced Cleaning—Technology has advanced dramatically in how your fire-damaged belongings are handled, stored, and cleaned in our care. Hard material contents like ceramics and glass can be thoroughly cleaned using ultrasonic submersion tanks, while odors can be removed from many items simultaneously when placed in an ozone chamber.
Documenting Damage and Reporting to Insurance
What do we do with the information collected and compiled into a detailed and concise damage report? We help you communicate that information with your insurance provider to expedite the approval of a damage claim. By removing the intermediaries in the equation, we can speak directly with your insurance adjuster to present our findings and agree on the necessary work and projected costs.
