When a residential homeowner contacted us at Restoration Pros NY after a fire, we knew they needed fast and effective water and fire damage restoration of their Lindenhurst, NY home. Our goal was to restore their fire-damaged home quickly and make it safe again. The fire had severely damaged the exterior siding, and roof, while the water used to extinguish the fire had seeped inside, affecting insulation and drywall in the garage and bedroom.
Our Fire and Water Damage Restoration Process
At Restoration Pros NY, we know that fire and water damage can be overwhelming for homeowners. That’s why our team followed a detailed, step-by-step approach to restore this fire-damaged home.
Inspection and Assessment
We began with a full inspection of the affected areas, using a moisture meter to check for hidden water damage in walls and floors. Our team found extensive fire damage outside the home and areas of water damage inside, particularly in the bedroom.
Setting Up Containment
To prevent any damage from spreading, we set up containment around the affected rooms. This helped control soot particles and kept smoke odors from traveling to other parts of the home.
Fire Damage Restoration
After inspecting the damage, we proceeded with a series of steps to ensure the home was restored safely and effectively. Our goal was to remove all hazardous materials while preserving the structure. Here’s a breakdown of the steps we took:
- Removed Burned Siding: We carefully removed the damaged exterior siding to prevent any structural weakness or further deterioration.
- Fixed Garage Damage: The garage sustained significant water damage, so we removed the ruined materials.
- Replaced Roof Sections: Sections of the roof were affected, so we carefully tore out the damaged parts to avoid leaks or further structural instability.
- Removed Insulation: Insulation that had been compromised by the fire and water was carefully removed and disposed of to prevent mold growth.
- Tore Out Damaged Drywall: We removed any drywall that was exposed to heat or moisture, making way for fresh materials and ensuring the interior was safe and sound.
Water Damage Restoration
Since water had damaged the walls and floors, we used air movers to dry out the moisture and air scrubbers to clean the air. This step was crucial to prevent mold growth, which is a common concern after water exposure. We monitored moisture levels until everything reached safe levels.
Rebuilding and Restoration
After clearing all damaged materials, we installed new drywall and insulation where needed. We also replaced the damaged sections of the roof and exterior siding, making the home look as good as new.
Final Check
Before finishing the job, we performed a final inspection to ensure that all moisture was removed, and the home was fully restored and safe. Once complete, we walked through the home with the homeowner to ensure they were satisfied with the results.
