Commonly Requested Fire & Water Damage Repair Services
Has your home been damaged by fire or water? Are you uncertain about what services you need? Here are a few of the most commonly requested services provided by water and fire damage restoration contractors.
Fire damage repairs
Repairing areas that have been damaged by fire. Unlike the immediate removal of burned areas and damaged materials, fire damage repairs include home construction, reconstruction and rebuilding after a fire destroys part or all of a home.
Water damage repairs
Repairing areas that have been damaged by water. This includes replacing drywall, flooring, ceilings and other areas that have to be removed due to water content.
Flood damage repairs
Flood damage (either from too much rain, overflowing water sources or sewage backups) needs to be repaired by a water damage repair contractor. Removal of the wet and damp areas is key, but replacement methods are also important for keeping out mold and mildew.
Reconstruction services
Post-fire or flood services that restore homes and businesses to their original condition. Reconstruction services take place after the initial disaster response and consist of remodeling and rebuilding.
Disaster restoration and repairs
Natural and man-made disasters (earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, floods, sewage leaks) often devastate homes, businesses, and entire neighborhoods. Local fire and water damage restoration contractors can repair damage caused by these events and restore buildings to their original condition.
Home restoration services
Services that take place after disasters, fires, floods or other home damage. These services include removal of water, debris and materials; rebuilding or remodeling to return the home to inhabitable condition; and more.
Ceiling repairs
Water seeping in from roofs or upper floors can destroy ceilings, as can fires that leave soot and smoke damage. Ceiling repairs often include removing old ceiling materials and replacing them with new materials. In severe fire or water damage situations, ceiling repairs may include repairs to the roof or a complete removal of old ceiling material.
Flooring repairs
Fires and water damage often destroys flooring, including floor coverings such as carpeting and hardwood flooring down to the subflooring. Restoration services will remove all damaged flooring and subflooring and replace it with new materials.
Basement flooding repairs
Sewage leaks, flood water and water used to fight fires can flood basements. These areas need to be cleaned out (including removal of all damaged materials) and repaired to prevent mold and mildew from growing. Basement flooding repairs often include removing and replacing flooring, drywall, wall studs, and even ceilings (if the water came from upper floors).
