Water Damage After A Fire Is A Real Thing

3/8/2021 (Permalink)

Everyone dreads a fire in their home or business; beyond the safety concerns, it can lead to costly repairs and damage that can keep you out of your space for weeks, or even months.  Fire damage can cause horrible odors, severe discoloration, and obviously, serious structural damage.

But what many people don't know is that the damage from a fire only starts there.  If the fire department is called, they will be using a lot of water to extinguish the flames.  Unfortunately, they will do whatever needs to be done to put the fire out.  Because of this, once the fire is out, your home or business will likely have suffered serious water damage on top of the fire damage.  If the water is not extracted and properly dried out, it can lead to secondary damage, such as mold growth.
