About a year ago, I could tell that our home project was a little delayed. Our team of contractors had been struggling to work with some of their providers, so I decided to work with another team altogether. It was really frustrating, but I could tell that it was the right call to make. After we made the transition, the new staff got right to work addressing some of the most serious concerns. I wanted to create a blog all about understanding construction delays so that other people could see how difficult it can be to resolve them on your own. Check it out!

Understanding Construction Delays
Here's What Happens After A House Fire
Gina Hawkins
House fires are frightening, and they can be physically devastating. When your home is damaged, there are steps a professional can complete that will help you move forward in the home you love.
These are the steps a home fire damage restoration company will take to help you get back into your house after a disaster.
Restoration Professionals Assess the Damage
Fire damage is extensive and can cause your home to be uninhabitable. A fire damage restoration company will work to assess the damage to your home and belongings. They will create a plan to repair and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.
Professionals also determine if it is safe to live in your home at this time. They will help you decide what you need to do to stay safe.
Restoration Professionals Board & Tarp Your Home
The next step is to board up and tarp your home. This helps to prevent further damage to your home from the elements. It also prevents others from entering your home in its vulnerable state.
Restoration Professionals Dry Your Home
Once your home is secure, the next step is to begin the drying process. This helps to prevent mold and mildew from taking hold in your home. The professionals will use industrial-grade fans and dehumidifiers to dry your home and belongings.
Before the repairs can begin, a professional will sanitize areas of your home. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and other contaminants that can grow significantly after a fire.
Restoration Professionals Remove Soot & Smoke Smells
The next step is to remove the soot and smoke smells from your home. This can be done with a variety of methods, including ozone generators and thermal foggers. This smell can be overwhelming, even if repairs are performed and parts of the home are removed, so this step is crucial to ensuring you can move back into your home soon.
Restoration Professionals Begin Repairs
After your home is dry, sanitized, and free of soot and smoke smells, the professionals can begin repairs. This may include minor repairs, such as painting, or major repairs, such as replacing drywall or flooring.
The restoration company will work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and budget. They will also try to get you back into your home as quickly as possible. When you are displaced after a fire, this can mean everything.
