So You Had a Fire?!

Experiencing a fire in your home or business can be extremely stressful.  You may find yourself at the beginning of a confusing and long process to get your property back to “normal”.  Not only has the fire itself caused damage, but there may be resulting smoke / soot damage and water damage from putting the fire out.  The following initial steps will help set you on the path to recovery. 

  1. If you have insurance, contact your insurance company.  They will help you get a claim started and can discuss what your policy covers. Most likely you will need to relocate while fire remediation is ongoing for at least some period of time. Check with your insurance to see if you are covered by Assisted Living Expense or Business Interruption Coverage.
  2. Contact your landlord or mortgage company to report the fire.
  3. Once the fire department deems the property safe to enter, try to find valuable documents and records.  This may not be until emergency board up / securing the property has occurred.
  4. Start saving receipts for any money you spend related to the fire loss.  These receipts may be needed by your insurance company. 
  5. Contact a local, trusted, certified professional restoration company as soon as possible to start the process of fire remediation.  It is important to begin remediation as soon as possible to avoid further structural and content (personal property) damage.

I had them come out and clean the duct work. The house is around 60 years old and was desperately needing it. They were prompt, courteous and respectful of my time and schedule. Great job at a wonderful price!

Everyone at BAC Restoration was wonderful from Sarah at the office to Pete, John and Sal. Prompt, efficient, thorough, professional and kind. You can’t ask for a better crew when you need them the most. I had water damning that affected 4 rooms in my house—the crew was able to come out the same day and cut into drywall, set out dehumidifiers and fans and assess damages. Very pleasant to work with. Thank you!

The entire BAC team did a wonderful job of assisting us during a pipe break emergency! They responded quickly and have tirelessly followed up on the rebuild. I honestly can’t say enough how professional, efficient and solid their work has been. I would highly recommend them for your restoration needs!
