FIRE DAMAGE
RESTORATION
Your home has been damaged by fire. What
do you do now?? Call Master Care
Restoration Company, an IICRC*
Smoke and Fire Damage Restoration certified firm. We will
advise you on how to stop further loss. And remember to call
your insurance company.
Our main goal is to return your home or
business and contents back to pre-loss condition in a timely manner
for a reasonable cost with minimal disruption. We prefer our
customers understand each step in the restoration process while
providing you with an estimated recovery timeline. Most of
your contents can be restored in days and weeks, not months.
All of our work is performed in your home or in our new 15,000
square foot facility. There are no 3rd or 4th
party subcontractors handling your prized possessions.
We are in total control from start to finish.
Remember, restoring a fire loss requires
special training and knowledge. Some companies claim to handle
fire restoration: protect yourself and your belongings—verify
their qualifications. They should possess IICRC*
certification.
Some helpful hints if you ever encounter an
unfortunate fire loss:
DO:
-
Keep children, the elderly, individuals with
asthma, and pets away from the affected area(s).
-
Open windows for ventilation, if outside
conditions allow.
-
Apply petroleum jelly or WD-40 to all chrome
such as faucets, fixtures, and frames.
-
Wash leaves of all plants (both sides) with
water.
-
Brush-vacuum loose smoke particles from
upholstery, draperies, and carpeting.
-
Empty refrigerators and freezers if
electricity is off and prop open the doors.
-
Gloves and respirators should be worn when
touching or moving contaminated items, as char and soot are
carcinogenic.
DON’T:
-
Wipe or attempt to wash fire residues from
walls, ceilings, or other absorbent surfaces.
-
Turn on or use radios, televisions, stereos,
computer equipment or appliances until they have been cleaned and
checked (due to possible water damage).
-
Use carpeting or upholstered furniture
impacted by heavy smoke residues, soot, or debris.
REMEMBER, you do have a choice:
Use a restoration company you feel is properly
qualified to handle your situation. This may or may not
be who your insurance company “recommends”.
Choose Master Care,
and have the job done right… the first time!!
