The Importance Of Professional Fire Restoration

Why Should You Hire a Professional to Inspect Your Property and Help You Avoid Fire Damage?

The last thing you want to be concerned with after a disaster is the restoration process. Fire disasters are particularly destructive and can change people's lives. Fortunately, there are professionals qualified to handle the fire damage needs and restore as much as possible. This alleviates your concerns about your family and possessions. DryMax Restoration for example, is an example of these types of specialists. In order to help restore your home & your peace of mind, here is a closer look at our fire damage restoration process. 
  • Board-Up: These professionals will board up a damaged home or building without causing further damage. They are capable of boarding up a single window to an entire house. This also helps to keep out potential looters and additional damage.


  • Dry-Out: Obviously, the first thing to do is dial 911 and request assistance from the fire department. These professionals, on the other hand, are qualified to ensure that your home or building is adequately dried out after they have put out the fire.


  • Soot & Debris Cleanup: Burned content produces soot, which is a carbon byproduct. It is often acidic, causing damage to any surface it comes into contact with. The team would clear soot buildup and debris using high-powered HEPA vacuums and expert techniques.


  • Deodorization: After even the tiniest of fires, smoke odor removal is a common service. Smoke seeps through every crack and crevice, including closed-off spaces, leaving foul odors behind. As a result of these odors, respiratory disease develops. The residual fire smell can often bring back unpleasant memories of fire damage that has happened in your home. These experts, on the other hand, would ensure that the odor is absolutely gone. There's no need to be concerned about the past.


  • Restoration: The most critical aspect of fire damage restoration is what occurs after the fire has been extinguished. These experts will be able to restore order in your home by working with you to choose the design and finishes you choose, and then rebuilding your property according to your specifications. The aim of these professionals is to restore your property to better-than-new condition, bringing a silver lining to an unpleasant situation brought about by circumstances beyond your control. 



  • Contents Cleaning: Many belongings will need to be either disposed of or salvaged, washed and repaired. This all depends on the severity of the fire. The DryMax team will work as quickly as possible to retrieve anything that can be recovered. 

Health Risks Involved In Fire Restoration

Following a house fire, there are four main forms of health risks: respiratory problems, skin problems, eye irritation, and long-term health problems. These are caused by the embers, ash, and soot that have been left behind.


  • Respiratory Trouble: Smoking causes excessive coughing, bronchitis, shortness of breath, and asthma attacks when inhaled.


  • Irritated Eyes: Smoke and soot cause the eyes to redden and cry. They can itch and worsen over time, causing vision problems and discomfort.


  • Irritated Skin: Soot and smoke particles irritate the skin, causing dryness, third-degree burns, and scratching.


  • Long-Term Health Consequences: Heart attack, stroke, cancer, and developmental problems in children are all long-term health complications associated with fire damage exposure.

Why stress yourself out if you don't have to? It's so reassuring to know that there are people who can take charge of the situation and restore your home.
