A house fire can be an extremely traumatic experience, whether it be a small kitchen fire or you lose most or all of your home in the tragedy. People’s homes catch fire every day, for various different reasons. A faulty electrical unit can spark a fire, as can a kitchen accident with hot oil, a lit cigarette left unattended or a candle tipping over and catching the curtains on fire. Whatever reason, the home can be destroyed completely or severely ruined beyond being livable.
Many times, calling 911 will bring the fire brigade, but unless they catch the fire in time you could be facing losing the entire home to fire. Most of the time, however, the fire department acts quickly enough to save most of the house and you can then begin the process of repairing it.
Once it’s Over
Initially, if you have insurance, you should call your insurance company. They will send out an insurance adjustor who will determine the level of damage and estimate the costs of repair. They will ask you many questions, including how the fire started, what goods and equipment were inside and ask if you can retrieve any of the receipts of the items you purchased. Many items can be saved and cleaned but most electrical equipment is likely to be destroyed because of smoke.
If you are able to return inside your home after the fire is extinguished you may be advised not to use any of the electrical equipment, as well as being advised not to use the lights or sockets. If you have pets, you will be advised to take them to a safer and more clean environment until the clean-up process is complete. Those without insurance still have options, but they are more limited than those with it. You will have to pay for repairs yourself or do them yourself and this can be costly, depending on the results of the fire and how much damage is done.
You them have the option to hire a fire restoration company in Boston who will remove all the damaged equipment and debris, fully clean and sanitize the home and restore it to its previous condition or better. Smoke damage is usually the worst part of the clean-up but a restoration company will help with everything.
