Fires are among the most traumatic and overwhelming situations that a property owner can face, especially when you are unsure how fast you should move to clean up the mess. From grease fires in the kitchen to overloaded electrical outlets, fires can spread quickly from their source to multiple areas of the residence, making cleanup and restoration a considerable challenge for even professionals like our BISON team.
Fire damage restoration in Edmond homes can be broken down into three primary phases. Knowing what to expect can help provide some peace of mind after a very unsettling disaster:
- The First 24 Hours After Fire Damage
In the first full day following a fire in your residence, you start to see the immediate effects of the recent disaster, such as the excessive water left behind from extinguishment. During this time, soot and smoke particles settle on contents and surfaces, leaving a residue that can be challenging to remove and potentially permanently stain these substrates.
- Mitigation and Restoration in the Days Following
In the first few days following the extinguishment of your house fire, BISON Restoration professionals work on mitigation and restoration solutions. Securing the structure is paramount, so our team begins with board-up services and containment approaches to keep the damaged areas from affecting new spaces. We implement mitigative solutions like extraction, mold prevention, and content recovery.
- Post-Damage Recovery Can Span Weeks
Substantial structure fires can take weeks to clean and restore fully. One of the focuses in the long-term recovery of your household is the demolition and build-back services. During this phase, utilities are replaced and repaired, a final deep cleaning takes place, and secondary restoration processes like air duct cleaning and deodorization become the final steps before your home returns to its pre-loss state.
