Fire Damage Cleanup & Restoration

Fire may be the cause of the most devastating loss to your property.  SI Restoration’s compassionate professionals will work tirelessly to repair and restore your property to your complete satisfaction.

Fire can occur at any time, for a number of reasons. Cooking accidents, faulty electrical wiring, malfunctioning HVAC equipment are just a few.  Each cause may need a different cleanup and repair process.  SI’s team has been trained and certified to address each need in a specific manner.

The most common types of house fires are from cooking and heating equipment, as they cause larger fires and sometimes fatalities in the home.  When cooking, always use caution and have safety measures in place to prevent a fire from occurring.  Things such as child locks on the oven may prevent a child from turning it on or anti-tip levers for the oven may keep someone or something, like a pet, from tipping over the oven.

 Although newer heating units have may have additional safety requirements and protections, the second leading cause of large fires is from malfunctioning or overheated heating equipment.  From a major home heating unit to a personal, small space heater, to avoid a fire damage claim, follow proper installation and set up instructions.

Other items that are possible fire risks are unattended candles, lit cigarettes, built up dryer lint, faulty washing machine wiring, and faulty extension cords used to plug in Christmas tree lights or any other electrical appliance. 

Smoke and odors may occur from burned paper or wood, burnt food, melted plastics, simple cigarette smoke, and oil burner malfunctions. Each home and business contain different materials that burn and create their own cleaning and restoring challenges.
