Fire Damage Encompasses Many Aspects Including Water and Lingering Odors

While there are many blatant effects that a widespread fire can have on your Lilburn home, you often do not consider some of the secondary effects and threats that your house faces in light of the incident. Understanding all of the threats and effects you can expect after a fire in your home can prepare you for finding the best professional restoration company to handle the substantial task of bringing your home back to preloss conditions.

Often the initial effects from a fire in your house are difficult to miss. It might not even be safe for you to enter your home following extinguishment, leaving the assessment of the fire damages in your Lilburn residence to the hands of experienced estimators and restoration specialists like our SERVPRO team.

One of the lesser known effects that most homeowners do not consider when it comes to restoring their home after a fire, is the water damage throughout their property. With fire extinguishing efforts that prove invaluable to preserving the structure of your house throughout the worst of the blaze, this process unfortunately also leaves pooled water and overly saturated areas throughout your home that must also get restored.

Another lesser considered effect from a fire in your home that might not prove as glaring and abrasive as structural damage or even water damages is the lingering odor. This smoke damage presents itself as a long-lasting charring smell or odor emitted from the combustion of certain materials in your house. While SERVPRO deodorizing efforts can eliminate this nauseating presence, it makes attempting to live in your home long after the fire has occurred a challenging ordeal before the odor removal occurs.

Likely you try to assess the damage that your home sustains during a widespread fire but tend to overlook additional work that might have to happen to remove odors, water damages, or even to rebuild areas of your home. Finding the right restoration company to help see you through all of these obstacles is one of the easier parts of this situation, as many depend on the reliable services of our SERVPRO of North Lilburn restoration specialists. Give our rapid response team a call anytime at (770) 709-3266.
