Fire Damage Restoration Work Explained

No two internal fires are ever the same. There are a number of factors which can result in varying degrees of damage. Despite this, our approach to restoration is always the same. The length of the fire is an obvious factor in addition to how far it has spread while burning.

Material Evaluation

Investigating fire damaged materials is not as simple as it may seem. While visibly darkened walls and ceilings are in clear need of replacement, the total signs of damage may not be easily identified by untrained eyes. Leftover soot and ash from the fire can have long-lasting effects on not only the property but the health of occupants.

Ash and smoke deposits left behind after a fire have a long-term corrosive and acidic nature which if left untreated can become harmful to the structure of walls and ceilings in addition to leaving them discoloured.

Water Damage

An often forgotten factor of fire damage cleanup is water damage. In extinguishing a fire a large volume of water is used to repel the flames. While some of this water will evaporate in the heat, the majority remains and can cause significant damage.

Water will soak into porus materials such as wood and plaster or furniture and carpets in the room. Plasterboards and wooden supports in stud walls will absorb the water which can leave them structurally unstable.

Often after the effects of fire damage and water damage, soft furnishings will be left unusable. It is important to remove these from the property quickly to avoid prolonged damage to both the property and you.

Back to normal

Once the work required is established, the Toucan Team will provide you will a full-length service until your property is back to its previous appearance.

Going beyond just appearance, it is important to banish an odour from a fire-damaged room. Removing the odour and essence of ash and soot not only leaves a more pleasant environment but also ensures there are no long-lasting health effects.

From taking your property back to bare bones where necessary we can develop a full rebuild of your rooms. This can take the form of repairing walls and replastering rooms through to new installations of kitchens and bathrooms.
