Frequently Asked Questions

what damage can fire cause?

At Cohen's Restoration, we recognize that the severity of the situation deeply impacts the damage level. This can range from minor, with smoke and soot confined to a specific area, to major, involving extensive structural damage. Our process begins once the property is safe for entry. Our technicians conduct a detailed inspection to assess the damage level and devise an appropriate action plan. Fire damage is categorized as:

Minor Fire Damage: This involves light to moderate smoke and soot, limited to a part of the building. Restoration typically includes cleaning and deodorizing walls, ceilings, floors, and personal property, with little repainting needed and very few items requiring replacement.
Medium Fire Damage: Here, moderate smoke and soot necessitate more aggressive cleaning and deodorization to remove residue. More extensive repainting is needed, and heat damage to surfaces and materials may require more items to be repaired or replaced.
Major Fire Damage: This level indicates severe damage to contents, surfaces, and possibly structural framing. Smoke likely has permeated most of the building, necessitating immediate interventions like boarding up or roof tarping. Most personal property items will need off-site cleaning. All remaining surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned and deodorized in preparation for painting and repairs.

Understanding these varying degrees of fire damage allows Cohen's Restoration to provide tailored, effective solutions for each unique situation, ensuring thorough restoration of your property.

What should you do after a Fire?

After a fire, prioritize safety while waiting for professional help from Cohen's Restoration. First, assess whether it's safe to stay in your home, following guidance from first responders. Be cautious of electrical hazards and debris. Only undertake safe activities and remember that wet materials can be heavy, so wait for officials to clear the structure. If it's safe to enter and the weather permits, open windows and doors to ventilate the space and help remove smoke odors. Take photos for documentation only from a safe distance and after getting the all-clear from officials. Your safety is the foremost concern in these critical moments.

What should you not do after a fire?

After a fire, there are several important things you should avoid doing to prevent further damage to your property. At Cohen's Restoration, we advise against washing walls, painted surfaces, carpets, or upholstery without professional guidance, as incorrect methods can cause additional harm. Avoid cleaning electrical appliances, including computers and digital devices, that were exposed to fire, heat, or water; consult an authorized repair service instead. Do not consume food or beverages that were stored near the fire, as they could be contaminated. Refrain from turning on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet, to avoid electrical hazards. Don't send garments to a regular dry cleaner since improper cleaning can set in smoke odors. Lastly, avoid touching soot-covered items with bare hands, as skin oils can cause permanent soot staining. Following these precautions can help in preventing further damage and ensuring a safer restoration process.

How can i prevent fire damage?

To help prevent fire damage in your home, it's essential to take proactive steps, as cooking and heating are the top causes of home fires according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Start by installing smoke alarms on every level of your home and near bedrooms for early detection. Always stay in the kitchen while cooking and remain close to the grill when grilling. Ensure that oven burners are turned off after use and keep the stove area free from flammable materials. Maintain a safe distance of at least three feet between any combustible items and heat sources like fireplaces and heaters. Always turn off or unplug heaters when leaving a room. Additionally, it's crucial to have your heating systems and chimneys inspected and serviced regularly to ensure they are functioning safely. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the risk of fire in your home.
