Can you postpone fire restoration?

A fire in your Charlotte, NC, home can feel very overwhelming, and it can feel easy to put off restoration, but destruction from smoke damage will get worse without an immediate restoration. The longer restoration takes to begin, the more damage will occur and the bill for restoration will likely be larger. Avoiding costly repairs and long-term damage is easy by following these important tips. 

The first thing you should always do is contact your home insurance company to make them aware of the fire. The next step should be contacting SERVPRO of South Mecklenburg County to assess the damage and give you an estimate on costs and begin the cleanup process. It is important that you only enlist the help of a licensed and insured fire damage restoration company to reduce the risk of more damage to your home. They are trained to handle fire damage and will perform some of the following tips:

• SERVPRO will try to save as many of your home and personal belongings (such as appliances, furniture, and clothing) as they can by using professional cleaning equipment and techniques. 
• SERVPRO will document every item that is removed from your home by taking pictures and/or keeping a written record so you feel comfortable knowing your items are accounted for. 
• SERVPRO will return any salvageable furniture and appliances back to your home after the restoration is complete.
• SERVPRO will work quickly and carefully to get you back in your home as soon as possible and stay in contact with you to make sure the repairs were done correctly and your home isn’t experiencing any problems.
