Fire Damage Restoration Q&A

Q: How long will the fire restoration process take?
A: Every fire is different due to the varying amount of fire, smoke, and ash damage. Therefore, there is not a standard time frame. Your Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration fire restoration specialist will provide a projected time estimate for your situation.

Q: Can I disinfect and completely restore my home myself?
A: Unless you yourself are experienced in fire restoration, we suggest that you do not try to restore your home yourself. By allowing professionals to clean your home, you stand the best chance of salvaging as much as possible, as safely as possible.

Even if you are experienced in fire restoration, calling in a company like Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration can take added stress and burdens off of you. A home fire is traumatic, so it is advised that you take the time you need to recover and allow others to take care of getting your home back to its pre-fire state.

Q: Should I be aware of safety concerns for myself and my family?
A: Yes. Our top priority is the safety of both the occupant of the home as well as our employees. We identify safety hazards during the inspection phase of the restoration process. Hazards may include poor air quality, electrical concerns, standing water, and debris.  

Q: What personal items should I keep in my possession when my home is being restored?
A: Teasdale Fenton Cleaning & Property Restoration recommends keeping the following items with you during the restoration process:

• Cash
• Pets
• Credit Cards
• Weapons
• Checkbooks
• Personal Documents (Birth Certificates, Passports, etc.)
• Medications
• Valuable Jewelry

Q: Do I need to move out of my home during the fire restoration process?
A: This depends on the damage done by the fire. For small fires that were kept to one small area of the house, you may not need to stay in a hotel or the home of a family member. However, if the fire was large, some safety concerns come up, such as odors, structural integrity, and electrical usage.

If you need to vacate your home, we recommend you forward your mail, stop deliveries, and notify your utility companies of the suspension of services.
