Fire Damage Mesa AZ Homes Suffer From Makes For A Dad Day

By Michelle Hamilton


The number of fires that happen in homes, in and around Mesa AZ is a fairly large number. A large portion of these are caused by electrical issues. Overloaded outlets is one of these. A circuit breaker flashing into a stack of clothes waiting for washing is also one of these problems, due to the location of the main circuit box in many homes. Fire, for any reason, is dangerous and takes a specialist who offers the services of personnel cleaning up the fire damage Mesa AZ residents experience from time to time.

The dry conditions around your home, in this area, may be the culprit. Fires catching in the bushes or shrubbery out in the extended areas have often burnt down many things as it comes toward your home. There are stories in many newspapers and even online that report this number in glowing terms.

Fire damage will get started for a lot of reasons and begin to burn up. This means it can start on the first floor and go up the walls, catching the ceiling and continue the trip to the upper floors and into an attic. Being inside at this point is dangerous because of the fumes, smoke, and soot that this generates. Getting this put out and the house brought back to a safe, clean and healthy condition is not an easy task.

After the fire has been put out, the homeowner has a lot of things to think bout and do. Most of them will call a renovation company that specializes in this type of damage repair. Since public health will, quite naturally, declare the home uninhabitable, no one will be allowed in until it has been made safe. This is not a job for an amateur, but the experts who do this every day will make quick work of the tasks.

You will find that the flames will not only burn a lot of the building materials up but what is left will be melted and smell of smoke, soot and a greasy combination of gasses and other substances that are not pleasant. It will burn carpets and wood furniture, clothing and drapery. Not only the damage that the flames do will have to be dealt with, it is also the damage done by the water that is used to put the flames out.

Drywall can meld together in a mass that can start to puddle. This is from the heat as well as the water the firemen use. If they are otherwise left undamaged, the soot covers them in a sticky, gooey, greasy mess that is difficult to clean.

One of the first things that is done in your home, after the flames has been put out and all hot spots are gone is to cleanse the air. This is critical as it is not safe to breathe inside until this has happened. Very large air movers, or fans, are positioned to evacuate this air to the outside. Work is then started to remove the water left over.

The inspection that follows this will include the damage and what must be done. It will also include searching for the presence of mold. The water that has come in and the heat generated by the fire will activate any mold spores that you already have in the house. The parts of the structure that have to be removed will be, molds will be removed and those surfaces will be treated to help prevent the reoccurrence of this dangerous element.
