Fire Damage in Your Melbourne Beach Home

Experiencing a fire-damaged home in Melbourne Beach can be quite traumatic. Once you come to terms with the loss of valuable possessions, you also need to think about cleaning up and restoring your house. Once you know everyone is out of harms way, and the fire has been extinguished, you can begin thinking about the steps needed to get your life and your home back to normal.

Do Not Enter a Home Damaged by Fire

Although you may be tempted to go back into the house to access the damage, you need to wait until a professional gives the ok. The structure could be damaged, and there could be dangerous chemicals in the air that can cause respiratory problems. The electrical systems in the home can also be affected and could cause electrocution. A professional needs to check out the home and make sure it is safe.

Contact an Insurance Agent

Your homeowner’s insurance agent will assess the damage and determine what type of coverage should be included in your claim. An adjuster will come out to the home and provide an estimate of the damage and can recommend a fire restoration company, such as, SERVPRO of South Brevard. Our professional technicians can come in to clean and repair damage and restore your home as quickly as possible.
