The Importance of Fire Damage Restoration

Fire damage can severely impact the health of those living in a home or working in an office if it is not taken care of properly. After a fire, there are often lingering pollutants from soot and smoke that can cause respiratory problems and other illnesses. Exposure to these toxins can lead to short-term side effects such as coughing, throat irritation, headaches, and nausea. In the long term, more serious health issues can arise due to prolonged exposure, such as asthma or cancer.

Causes of Fire Damage

There are multiple potential causes of fire damage, and being aware of them is important to ensure they can be avoided. The top reasons for fire damage, as listed by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), are cooking, heating, electrical, smoking, and candles. Unfortunately, it is very common for people to become negligent and unaware of a potential risk, leading to an accident. This could lead to leaving ovens or stove tops on, leaving items plugged, or forgetting to blow out a candle. Ensuring the people in your home or the employees at your business are aware of the top causes can help them to be more careful. It’s also possible that the wiring or electrical in your home or business is faulty, leading to an accident. In this circumstance, it is important to maintain the electrical items in your home regularly. But there are also a number of other reasons a fire could start in your home or business. Some examples include:

Lightening
Power surges
Damaged power lines
Dryers (lint traps)

No matter the cause of your fire, our team is here to help you get the repairs and restoration you need for your home or business.

How to Prevent Fire Damage

Magic Home Restoration is happy to be there when your home or business has been ravaged by fire, but we also want to assist you in preventing one in the future. The first step to preventing a fire is to know what causes them, which we covered previously. However, there are many more measures your business or family can take.

Assessing Fire Risks

It’s also vital to ensure that all employees and families are aware of any equipment or machinery that is a fire risk. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they are malfunctioning, but it does mean that if left unattended, they could be a fire risk. By stressing fire safety and proper procedures with equipment and machinery, you can ensure your team takes the precautions to prevent a fire.

Fire Protection Equipment Readily Available

In the case of a fire, having the proper equipment can ensure you are prepared and minimize damage to your home or business, and, more importantly, keep everyone safe. This includes the following fire protection equipment:

Smoke detectors: For businesses, the NFPA requires a smoke detector on each floor and stairwell. Homes are required to have a smoke detector in each bedroom (sleeping areas) and outside of them on each level of your home. This may vary from state to state.
Fire extinguishers: Ensure you have a fire extinguisher in your home or business and check regularly to ensure it is within date. Many businesses may require you to have more than one extinguisher, depending on the size and levels of your building.
Sprinklers: This may not be common in households but is a necessity in every commercial setting. The NFPA has found that in 97 percent of cases, they were able to keep a fire restricted to one room (the room of origin) with the use of sprinklers. Reducing the amount of damage and risk is important, which is why sprinklers are such a vital piece of equipment.

By staying prepared with equipment, you can reduce the damage as much as possible and ensure the safety of all involved.

Regularly Check Wiring

As you may recall, electrical issues are in the top five most common causes of fires. That’s why regularly inspecting wiring is a must for preventing fire damage to your home or business. If you notice a wire has been stripped or exposed, report it immediately and have it repaired or replaced. Further, be aware of how many plugs are going into one outlet. If using a power strip, it should provide you with information on the maximum wattage.

For Businesses: Keeping Up-to-Date With Fire Safety Codes

Every business has a set of fire safety codes they must meet, or else they will be in violation. During an annual visit, an inspector will walk around the establishment, checking for a fire extinguisher in code, all sprinkler systems in working order, all smoke detectors in working order, no exposed cords or wires, property safety features on equipment and machinery, and so on. While these inspections only occur once a year, it’s a good practice to ensure you are prepared for them at all times – and you should be. They can show up at any time and do an assessment, so staying on top of all codes and regulations should be a daily practice.

Creating A Safety Exit Plan

Another key part of ensuring fire safety is having an exit plan in place for your home and business. Start by establishing two exits out of every room in case of a fire blocking one of those exits; this will provide you with an alternate route.

In an office setting, display a map with the two routes drawn out and a guide of where to go next to meet. Make sure it clearly marks where the fire exits are located and the extinguisher – in the case of a smaller fire.

Within your home, make sure all adults and children are aware of the plan should there be a fire. This should include what exits to take, where to meet, and how to behave should there be a fire; for example, stay low, remain calm, and use their hand to check if a door or door handle is warm (signaling a fire on the other side), and so on.

Reliable Restoration Services

In addition to top-notch repair work following a fire disaster in your home or office, we also prioritize safety above everything else – making sure that every aspect is up to code before returning the space to you. Our reliable technicians know how important it is not only for your property but also (and most importantly) for those living inside the premises that all potential risks are addressed during the process of repairing damages caused by fire.

Steps After A Fire

In order to prevent these potential health issues, it is important that the proper steps are taken to safely remove all traces of fire damage. This includes removing any charred materials, cleaning surfaces with specialized products designed to get rid of soot and smoke residue, and using industrial-grade air filters in order to purify the air quality.

It is also vital that all safety protocols are followed when dealing with fire damage restoration. This includes wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to avoid exposure to hazardous materials, as well as following all protocols related to ventilation systems during repairs or resurfacing work being done inside the premises, which might involve dealing with anything from asbestos fibers lodged within walls to inflammable materials.

That’s why it’s incredibly important to hire professional restoration services for your home or business. Attempting to clean up the damages after a fire can be hazardous to one’s health if the proper steps are not taken.
