The Proper Way of Inspecting Fire Damage

In the aftermath of a house fire, actions need to be taken quickly since fire damage does not stop just because the flames have been extinguished. You have to inspect the degree of fire damage to be able to remediate the situation accordingly and be able to get back to normal life. When inspecting your home after a fire, proper steps need to be followed to ensure your safety and the preservation of what can be salvaged.

A fire big or small will always leave fire damage. To be able to inspect your burned down home means to be able to get back to the normal life sooner. It is important to be able to conduct proper fire damage restoration procedures. The inspection that you do as soon as the fire is gone will tremendously affect the professional assessment of the fire damage and the restoration efforts. Inspection will be unpleasant, you will be looking for the obvious damage as well as looking for the hidden fire damage that may pose as a danger to your physical being. Just because the fire is gone doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. It is therefore vital to practice safety precautions when conducting fire damage inspections.

First, one or two able-bodied household members can manage the fire damage inspection. That means that the rest of the household; the old, children and pets should be kept at a distance from the area concerned. They can stay with a neighbor in the meantime. The remains of the fire are no place for anyone. Smoke, dust and other irritants may trigger health problems like asthma and allergies. Add to that the unstable state of the house if part of it is still left standing.

Second, when inspecting any fire damage, wear protective gears. A protective gear should compose of a headgear, protective eyewear, thick leather gloves, coveralls and rubber boots. Anticipate that broken parts of the area may come crashing down or that objects on the floor may be dangerous if stepped on. Without proper gear it will be very dangerous.

Third, keep away from power lines, be it live or not. Electric shocks can kill.

Fourth, make sure that you are entering a stable structure. Fire damage cause parts of the house to be unsteady. You don’t want that crashing down on you. Usually, in the event of a house fire, the Fire Department will request the utilities to be cut-off temporarily as a safety measure. But any problems regarding the power should be taken up with the utility company.

Lastly, watch out for hot ashes that may ignite and cause more fire damage. Check all sections of the house to be sure. If there are hazardous chemical items like paint, battery and such, dispose of them properly. Having done all that, you are done with your inspection. Clean yourself well to wash away any residue or dirt that has adhered during inspection as this may cause irritation or other health problems.
