One of the most stressful situations a homeowner may experience is dealing
with the aftermath of a house fire. If you find yourself in this situation—hopefully,
you never have or will—you want to know that you’re hiring
the right people to help you through the process of rebuilding and restoring
your home. Here’s a brief overview on how to set up home restoration in Plano, which should include water damage restoration and mold removal.

Hire a Reputable Professional

Home restoration requires a lot of time and work, so be sure to hire a
reputable professional who has years of experience performing fire and
water damage repair. Do your research! Read customer reviews that are
available online and check all references.

Clean Up What You Can

After the fire trucks have left and the smoke clears, and once you get
over the initial shock from the fire, it’s time to get to work.
You need to assess the situation and come up with a plan. First off, go
through the areas that have been affected by the fire and clean up what
you can. Collect all of your personal items that are salvageable. When
cleaning, be sure you protect yourself by wearing dust masks, gloves,
and eye protection if need.

Invest in In-Depth Cleaning

If you’re not up to the task of cleaning, hire a professional to
do it for you. Walls, floors, and upholstery need to be vacuumed and wiped
down as soon as possible. Clothing and fabrics need to be laundered, and
the exterior of your house that has been affected by the fires has to
be power washed. The sooner the cleanup occurs, the better—as well
as cheaper. Fire and smoke damage can cause more damage to your home and
household items the longer they’re allowed to settle. Though counterintuitive,
you also need to take care of water damage and mold since large amounts
of water are used to put out fires.
