Cleanup after the fire is out, including the water used to extinguish it.
Fire damage rarely arrives alone. Along with smoke and soot, most fires involve significant water damage from firefighting efforts, which means a North Stonington, CT property recovering from a fire often needs both fire and water damage restoration at the same time. FreshAir Restoration coordinates this combined recovery process, addressing water extraction and drying alongside soot and smoke cleanup so the two issues are handled together rather than in conflicting stages.
The water used to fight a fire behaves the same way any other water intrusion does, soaking into flooring, drywall and framing, and it needs to be extracted and dried using the same monitored process used on any water loss. At the same time, soot and smoke residue require their own cleaning approach, since standard water damage drying equipment does not address smoke odor or surface residue on its own.
Insurance claims involving both fire and water damage tend to be more complex than a single cause loss, since adjusters need to account for two distinct types of damage that may overlap in the same rooms. Our North Stonington, CT team documents fire and water damage separately where it matters for claims purposes, while still executing the restoration work as one coordinated project, giving property owners the benefit of clear documentation without the delay of managing two separate restoration companies working independently on the same property.
Our technicians assess which areas were affected primarily by fire, which were affected primarily by water, and where the two overlap, then build a restoration plan that addresses both. This often means drying equipment runs in parts of the property while cleaning and odor treatment happen in others, all coordinated by the same team so nothing is overlooked or duplicated.
FreshAir Restoration has supported North Stonington, CT families and businesses through fire and water damage recovery for 15 years, understanding that this type of loss is often the most disruptive a property owner will face. Call 1 (877) 264-5920 once the fire department has cleared your property, and our team will begin coordinating the recovery process.
Recovering from a fire is difficult enough without also managing separate contractors for the water damage portion. Our North Stonington, CT team handles both together, giving property owners one coordinated process during an already stressful time, with a single point of contact who understands the full scope of what happened to the property.
Yes, our restoration process addresses both the water damage from firefighting efforts and the smoke and soot cleanup needed after a fire.
We can begin coordinating as soon as the property is cleared for entry, since addressing the water portion of the damage quickly helps prevent additional issues.
We assess belongings individually, since some items can be cleaned and restored while others affected by fire, smoke or water may need to be replaced.
