In case of life-threatening emergencies like severe storms or fire damage, you and your family likely have a plan for what to do to keep yourselves safe. But have you ever thought of what you would do after a severe fire has occurred in your home? It’s important to plan for the aftermath as well as the fire itself. Who’s going to clean up the damage, restore your home and salvage your belongings?

Should You Do It Yourself?

If you’re considering the option of cleaning up a fire-damaged property by yourself, consider these factors first:

• After a severe fire has occurred, walls and pillars may be unstable, and by entering the property you could risk the structure collapsing on top of you.

• Chemicals from common household cleaners, soaps and other items may have burned in the fire, creating a toxic atmosphere that may cause you to faint or may even be lethal.

• To properly clean up a fire damaged property, you would need the right equipment such as tarps, safety attire, industrial strength water pumps, a press extractor and much more.

Given these reasons, you should see that it’s a huge risk to enter a fire-damaged property, and you should leave the work up to the trained professionals.
