Fire Damage Restoration
Call Windy City Water Damage Restoration as soon as the fire has been put out so that professionals can have your residential or commercial property repaired, rebuilt, and returned to its pre-loss condition.
To inspect the fire damage at your residence or place of business, our emergency crews are on standby around-the-clock. The optimal course of action for recovering your fire-damaged property and belongings will then be decided in direct consultation with your insurance provider.
Why are Fires so Destructive
Fires can, and in most cases will be incredibly devastating in any property they appear. The worst part about fires is that they are so unexpected, with the causes seeming so insignificant (like f.e. cooking, electrical, and heating). Because you never expect them, when they happen, you don’t know what to do.
Our advice is to follow your instincts and get out of the property. Safety comes first so make sure you, your family, employees, and pets are all safe and well before you even start thinking about how to deal with the fire.
If small, you may try to extinguish the fire yourself but of course, it’s always the best to leave this to CFD. Remember, this is not the time to play hero. Make the right move and leave this job to the professionals.
Same goes with fire damage restoration. Fire damage is complex and the restoration approach will vary each time because different types of fires will require a different fire damage restoration method.
To avoid overwhelming yourself with DIY-ing, and also potentially exposing yourself to hazardous smoke, call Windy City Water Damage Restoration so that our experts can deal with the damage for you.
Benefits of Fire Damage Restoration
Improve Property Value
If you don’t take care of fire damage, your property’s value will undoubtedly decrease. Restoration after a fire will be more difficult the longer you wait. This is why it’s so important to take action right now.
After your property has undergone fire damage restoration, the entire property value may be restored, and in some situations, even increased.
Get Rid of Health Hazards
Smoke is not only unpleasant, but it can also be dangerous. If you’ve ever been around a campfire, you’re probably aware of how quickly everything in your possession starts to smell like you’ve been residing next to a wildfire. That’s how strong the smoke is. So… let’s get rid of it!
