When determining how much it will cost to have a professional restoration company perform fire damage repairs, it is dependent on the type of fire and the extent of the damage. It is pretty rare that we see a fire that is large enough to require professional attention cost less than $2,000. Unfortunately, a fire can get upwards of $50,000+ in a larger home with multiple rooms affected. On average, our Tampa Water Damge Restoration projects are around $10,000 per 1000 sq ft. Please keep in mind that is varies greatly depending on the location of the fire and the extent. For example, if the fire was in the kitchen the rebuild alone will likely cost $10,000 depending on the home.
Luckily for most people involved with a fire damage, most insurance providers cover the majority of the repairs on this besides the deductible as long as you were not at fault. These can at least relieve some of the financial burden that is placed on people for this type of disaster. You can also sign an Assignment of Benefits with Water Mold Fire in most cases. In short, this means you sign the rights of your claim over to us and we take it from there. This is the fastest way to get the work done by us as we do not have to wait on adjusters or anything along those lines. We will perform the work, document everything and bill the insurance directly. If the insurance provider does not pay your claim, you are not liable!
Once the fire has been put out and the Fire Damage Repairs have been performed, it is time to start thinking about prevention in the future. Here are some simple tips that can be used to stop more fires or at least limit the amount of damage they do.
Installing fire extinguishers in your home can help to fight the fire before help arrives and this can also help to reduce the damage caused by the fire.
Installing fire sprinklers in your home can help to reduce the destruction due to a fire by around 90%, which can in turn help to reduce your insurance premiums. Sprinklers help to prevent the spreading of fire to other parts of your home by spraying water on the fire. Also, sprinklers use lesser water, almost 8.5 times lesser than traditional fire hoses while putting out a fire. Unfortunately this is very difficult unless the property is new construction.
These are extremely useful and trigger an alarm to alert people in case of a fire outbreak. There are 2 types of smoke detectors – ionization smoke detectors and photoelectric smoke detectors. There are also smoke detectors that can be part of a SMART home and notify you via a mobile app even when you are not at home.
Limit or eliminate the amount of open flames you have in your home or business. This includes candles, cigaretts, matches, lighters, etc. If you don’t use fire in your house, it drastically reduces your chance of getting fire damage!
When a fire occurs, the period between 24-48 hours after the fire is known as the “golden hours” within which fire damage restoration can be done. This is the ideal period to start the fire damage restoration process. Here are some tips to get you started:
