What Should I Do After A Fire?
The first call you place after 911 should be to your insurance agency to notify them of the fire. With or without insurance, the next call should be to ABH Services to receive a consultation that you can receive by calling 781-941-2422 anywhere in the Greater Boston and North Shore area.
Even if you only see the cosmetic damage, you may have severe structural damage which may compromise a structure. Your agent will respond during an emergency to help families find temporary housing as well as assess the damage with a home inspector. It will secure funding.
A home inspector will evaluate any affected areas including the roof, the interior walls, the windows, flooring, siding, and electrical, heating and plumbing systems. It will also be necessary to check items like your water heater, furnace, and air conditioning units. If the water damage from the fire was abundant, air quality and mold and mildew would also need assessing.
Once your insurance agency has an idea of the amount it will take to restore your property fully, they often suggest that you contact and consult with a company like ABH Services to quickly secure reliable emergency services to minimize the fire, water, and soot damage.
Fires also tend to reignite which lead to additional damage and loss of life if you enter before you receive the go-ahead. As our experts will be on-site for a full assessment, you can depend on our implementation of safety protocols which we consider a vital factor to fire restoration services.
