After a small fire, where there’s smoke and soot in your home, you may think that it is an easy task for you to handle. The truth is, it can be hard to know where to look for all the damage that the fire created. Cleaning after a fire requires a detailed inspection of your home from top to bottom, even the areas you think may have not been affected. Meanwhile, water damages can be caused by a variety of factors. Mostly, these are associated with overflowing toilets and plumbing leaks, but although these are common factors that lead to extensive water damages, one thing that no one thinks of is fires. Fires often bring with them a lot of water problems, and these problems aren’t just small issues; these problems can be very extensive and can cause a lot of trouble for homeowners.

So here’s how fires can sometimes result in water damage in your home:

Usually when a fire happens, the resulting water damages contain water that has some level of contamination. This water was exposed to the smoke and soot from the fire, and as result, can be considered a health hazard. This becomes very dangerous to anyone exposed and needs to be dealt with by professionals like ServiceMaster by PWF possessing the right safety equipment, and using the most safe and effective techniques.

As a result of this, your fire damage restoration in Duvall, St. Augustine and Gainesville may become more expensive. You may even have to replace lost furniture along with carpets and wall insulation. This can be difficult for families as they may lose a lot of their prized possessions both in the fire and because of the resulting water damages. However, some of the furniture may be restored by the restoration team like ServiceMaster by PWF, based on the extent of the damage.

One way to minimize damages from water and fires in St. Augustine, Duvall and Gainesville is to use one restoration company, like ServiceMaster by PWF, to deal with both problems.

Once the immediate threat of the fire has been dealt with, the company focuses on water damages as they hold the priority of damaged carpets and furniture.

Fire damages can difficult enough on their own, but additional water damages can become a headache for the homeowner.
