The dos and don’t after a fire

Rainbow Derbyshire specialise in fire damage restoration and can arrange this all for you, so you don’t have to worry.

What to do after a fire?

To start the process of the restoration of your property, firstly you need to contact your insurance company. Your insurance company will appoint a specialist restoration company to attend your property.  But if your insurance company cannot get a specialist out to your disaster for any reason, call Rainbow International and they can be on site within 2 hours.

This is how to prepare your property for the restoration company arriving:

– Ensure that no extra damage is caused by soot in the air by covering carpets with old towels or other material

– Help to clear the smoke contaminated air as quickly as possible by opening windows in the property. This will help alleviate any long term odour problems.

What NOT to do after a fire?

Even the most well-meaning of actions could make the fire damage cleaning process a lot more problematical. Some of the things to avoid include:

– Spreading soot and smoke residue by trying to clean furniture or other upholstery yourself. This can lead to contaminating the area further.

– Try not to touch anything that has been affected by the fire. This will make the restoration process more lengthy

– Using any electrical items before they have been tested by a qualified electrician. In a worst-case scenario, this could result in another fire in the property.
