Fire damage doesn't stop when the fire is extinguished
A fire can leave a complex combination of damage throughout a property. In addition to visibly burnt materials, smoke, soot and odour can migrate well beyond the immediate fire area, affecting walls, ceilings, fixtures, cavities, contents and other surfaces.
Water used during firefighting can also create additional moisture and drying requirements.
SaveourHome assesses the affected property and develops an appropriate restoration approach based on the extent and type of damage encountered.
