When a disaster occurs in your home, quite often you find yourself in a “reactive” versus
“proactive” state of mind. For example, if part of your home catches on fire or has been flooded, you and your family are likely panicked, gathering any belongings you are able to salvage from the wreckage. Although we all hope these types of emergencies won’t happen to us, it is good practice to plan ahead in order to be prepared for the very worst.
Fire damage
If a fire has occurred in your home, the aftermath will likely include the need for fire damage restoration as a result of the devastating effects of intense fire, heat, and smoke.
