You’ve had a House Fire: Now What?

House Fire Columbus, Ohio

It’s every homeowner’s worst nightmare. The family home was damaged or destroyed by fire. Nothing can prepare you for the horrifying experience of realizing the place you call home, is in many ways, forever changed. A home full of treasured personal effects is acquired over decades, yet it can all be wiped out by a fire in a matter of minutes.

When the unthinkable happens, once your family is safely outside, and once the firefighters have extinguished the flames: then what?

While not every house is salvageable, it’s time to look into fire restoration services.

Even in the midst of a devastating tragedy, there are critical tasks to be performed. Taking the right actions after a fire can mean the difference between losing everything, or preserving cherished photos and personal mementos for sharing with future generations. It is important you act quickly to prevent further damage to your property and belongings.

Where Can I Get Help With Fire Damage Restoration?

Your best first source of information is the firefighters who are on the scene. With their extensive expertise and first-hand experience, they will guide you through the initial steps necessary to secure your home after a fire. Next, reach out to your insurance agent. Day or night, holiday or weekend, get in touch with your insurance company as soon as you are able.

In contrast, when seen through the eyes of an experienced fire restoration professional, that same scene takes on a very different appearance.
