A house fire is one of the most devastating types of building damage. The effects of a fire can be disastrous both to the contents of your home, but also to the health of your family.

If you have been in the unfortunate situation of suffering a house fire, one of the first tasks is to assess how much damage your home has suffered and what possessions have been lost in the fire. 50% of the fire damage from a home can be caused by the fire itself; the other percentage is caused by the water used to put it out and the drying afterwards that has occurred over the following days or weeks as residual water wicks through the building material of your home into walls and sometimes in to your floorboards, HVAC, and under floor insulation!! In certain situations, this can lead to mold growth behind the walls and into your ceiling (which you can’t actually see) that can cause secondary damage to property as well. When this happens, you may need to contact experts to check your systems.
