Tips for Dealing With Fire & Smoke Damage | Fire Restoration Services Atlanta

Fires can be so devastating to a home or business. All the property owner can think of is the losses they face and getting things back to normal again. Here are a few tips to help you deal with fire and smoke damage.

1. GET PROFESSIONAL HELP IMMEDIATELY: Contact your insurance company and a trusted restoration contractor. Do not try to deal with fire and/or smoke damage on your own. This is a serious and potentially dangerous situation that needs professional attention. 

2. AIR OUT THE PROPERTY: Make sure there is plenty of air circulating through the property. Your contractor should be able to safely help you with this.

3. REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT: If you had a fire that resulted in significant loss, you may need help coping with the loss. Reach out to friends and family for support through this difficult time. Don’t feel ashamed to ask for and accept help.

4. FIND A SAFE PLACE TO STAY: Living or working in a smoke and fire damaged property may not be safe. Be sure that your contractor deems your property safe and inhabitable before returning to it.

The Dangers of Fallen Trees | Storm Damage Repair Atlanta

Storms and severe weather can cause dangerous conditions and serious property damage.  The cold icy weather that Metro Atlanta just experienced is a prime example of how quickly disaster can strike. Fallen trees destroyed cars, homes and businesses and left many without power for days.  

There are many dangers associated with fallen trees, including downed power lines, severe roof damage, road obstructions and vehicle destruction. Losses can quickly mount if safety is overlooked and mitigation is delayed.  Here are a few things to keep in mind that may help minimize the dangers of fallen trees:

• Remove weak, diseased or rotting trees
• Keep trees properly trimmed
• Never approach downed power lines and immediately contact emergency services to report them
• Have a weather radio to stay abreast of dangerous weather conditions at all times

If a fallen tree does impact you, immediately contact your insurance company and a qualified emergency contractor to address your damages. Remember to never put yourself in danger to protect property and contact emergency services whenever it is necessary.

What You Should Do After Your Home Floods | Flood Damage Repair Atlanta

Water is the essence of life, but can be vicious and dangerous when left unchecked. Flooding can end in disastrous consequences, so it is important that you know what to do if your home floods. Mitigating your damages and staying safe is critical. Here are a few things that you may want to consider doing if your home floods:

PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST: Never try to save property at the risk of your own safety. Make sure your home is deemed safe by a qualified professional before you start any recovery or mitigation efforts.

CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE AGENT: Your damages need to be documented and verified by your insurance company as soon as possible. The costs can escalate quickly from flood damage so you want to be sure that your insurance company is covering your damages fully.

TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: To prevent further danger and fire risks you want power to the home turned completely off. Your electrical system needs to be repaired and inspected by a qualified electrician before it’s turned back on.

FIND A QUALIFIED RESTORATION PROFESSIONAL: Do not trust your flood damage repair and home restoration to someone inexperienced or unqualified. Some companies pop up when disasters strike and disappear just as quickly. Choose a trusted company that is rooted in the community, fully licensed & insured and has a long standing reputation for excellence. Lang Restoration & Construction is just that type of company. Our clients' know and trust us because we've earned it.
