FIRE DAMAGE JACKSON

INITIAL ASSESSMENT 

Fire damage can happen at any time of the day. We are open and will answer calls 24/7 and get to your home within an hour of receiving your call. Once we are on the scene of the fire damage, we have to wait until it is deemed safe to enter. After your home or business is safe to enter, we will go in to assess the structural damage, the extent of the damage, and what will need to be done for the restoration. We will work with your insurance to create a plan tailored to your needs.

ENSURE BUILDING SAFETY

After the initial assessment is done, we will go over the process that will be followed in order to get your home or business to its previous condition. The first thing to do is to secure the structure for the safety of anyone that enters during the process. A fire can cause damage to windows, walls, and the roof which keeps your home or business from falling. After everything is secure, we start to remove all the debris. Decluttering the space allows us to really focus on the important pieces of your home or business.

WATER EXTRACTION

Water is the most common method used in order to extinguish a fire. This means that after the fire is put out there may be a substantial amount of standing water within your home or business. We use our commercial grade pumps to get all the standing water out. Dehumidifiers are used in order to get the moisture out. Ensuring all the water and moisture are extracted is important so that it does not compromise the quality of your home or business in the future.

EXTRACTION OF SMOKE

Next, we will use our specialized equipment to remove the soot and smoke from your home or business. Soot can get into very small spaces, so we work hard to remove any trace of it regardless of where it has settled. Getting the smoke out of your walls and ceilings is an important part of the process because no one wants to have the smell of smoke lingering. Not only is the smell unpleasant, but breathing in smoke is hazardous to your health and lungs. We ensure that your home or business will be safe to enter by removing all hazardous smells and particles. At this time we will also take inventory of your possessions and take them back to our cleaning facilities. There we clean, sanitize, deodorize, and give extra care to items that may need it. Once we are completely finished with the restoration process, we will return your items.

REBUILDING

After all the cleaning, it is time to repair your home or business. At Tobin Restoration, we are full service contractors. This means we are able to do all the reconstruction for you. When you are only communicating with one business, it is sure to save you time rather than contacting and scheduling multiple contractors. You will have one point of contact in order to communicate your desires for the rebuilding of your home or business.

What our team is able to do during the reconstruction phase:

• HVAC, plumbing, and electrical
• Drywall, insulation, and taping
• Doors, windows, and framing
• Paint and texture
• Installation of flooring, including carpet and vinyl
• Trim or any finishing items

There are a lot of unknowns once there has been a fire in your home or business. There are a few things that you should avoid in order to ensure everyone’s health and safety after a fire. Be sure to stay out of the space unless it has been deemed safe. This is because there could be dangers that you cannot see, such as electrical that is in contact with water causing an electrical shock if not careful. Not only is this important for your safety, but also for your health because of the smoke and soot. It is not safe to inhale soot or smoke. For this reason, it is also important to leave items such as food, medication, and possessions as they have been contaminated by smoke.
