Looking to strengthen your home or business? We Can Help!Fire and Smoke Damage? Platinum Can Restore It!
Fires wreak havoc on all types of properties, whether residential or commercial. In addition to destroying belongings, they can damage or destroy parts of the structure in multiple ways. After any fire there is smoke damage, whether it appears minimal or extensive, it is essential to find a contractor for smoke damage cleanup and smoke damage repair. Because some damages can worsen if they are left unaddressed for a while, finding a contractor quickly is ideal. There are several important considerations regarding heat, smoke, and soot cleanup.
Smoke and Soot Damage
Smoke and soot permeate belongings and building materials. Soot leaves stains, and smoke leaves a smell. Although soot and smoke especially affect carpets, they can also affect the walls. Any porous surface is susceptible to smoke and soot damage. As a result, professional cleaning is important to remove smoke odors and soot stains properly. Proper smoke and soot damage cleanup will help with your insurance claim as well.
Heat Damage
The heat from the flames of the fire can melt plastic, destroy paint and even burn important wiring. It is common to see chipping, cracking, or bubbling paint after extreme heat exposure. A professional fire damage contractor can help by assessing the extent of the damage and recommending an action plan. The plan may involve contacting other professionals as well, such as electricians or plumbers, depending on the extent of the damage.
Fire And Smoke Cleanup Process
These are the main phases of the smoke damage cleanup and repair process.
- Fire Damage Inspection
To better serve customers, it is essential to know the full extent of the damage. Although some forms of damage may be visible and easy to identify, additional damages may be more difficult for property owners to detect. Professionals know how to fully inspect a property to determine the extent of the damage. They develop a plan for mitigation, cleanup, and repairs based on what they find. - Fire and Smoke Damage Mitigation
In many cases, mitigation is necessary to prevent worsening damages or reduce risks. For instance, if there is a broken window, it needs to be temporarily covered. In many cases, it is necessary to turn off the electricity or gas until cleanup and repairs can be completed. Doing this may help prevent a new electrical fire or a potential gas leak. - Smoke and Fire Damage Cleanup
After the previous steps, the next step is to clean up the fire damage aftermath. Some of the remains of the destruction may pose dangers to property owners. For example, broken glass and exposed or melted wires are dangerous. Professionals know how to identify safety issues and conduct cleanup steps as safely as possible. Also, they know how to perform proper smoke and soot cleanup to remove odors and stains. - Fire Damage Repair and Restoration
The good news is that many personal belongings and components of the damaged structure can be repaired or restored. While some items may need to be discarded, others can be fixed with the right procedures. The processes to repair and restore different items vary. However, professionals are familiar with the right procedures.

Megan SFrom very first contact to final inspection, I could not be any more satisfied with the service Platinum provided! We had a room damaged and the carpeting and part of the walls had to be removed. They submitted a very accurate estimate, showed up, and completed it right on time and I was just amazed when I saw how the room turned out once they had completed it. Absolutely no smell and completely ready for the build back people!

SusanWe received incredible service on our smoke damage claim. We were affected by a kitchen fire in our neighbor's home in Fort Lauderdale home. Luckily our home was not directly affected by the fire, but both our neighbors on either side of our home were. The ash and smoke made their way into our property and covered everything in a fine layer of soot. A few of our neighbors were working with Platinum General Contracting and so we gave them a shot. Warren and the rest of the crew were amazing throughout the claim process and repairs. Thank you.
