Best Methods for Restoring Items After a Fire

All items are usually not destroyed when a fire sweeps through a commercial building. In some areas, the flames burn hot and the fire loss is complete, but in other areas, many items survive the fire or can be restored to good condition. Part of the expertise of a storm mitigation company in Lascassas, TN, is determining what can be restored and what needs to be replaced. Pretesting methods allow technicians to identify likely candidates for cleaning. In many cases, it will be less expensive to restore than replace. Objects that only suffer smoke damage can often be cleaned sufficiently to reuse.

Partial Loss
For insurance purposes, there is a distinction between complete fire loss and partial loss. With a complete loss, the object in question is fully replaced and paid for in accordance with the policy. For partial loss, the claim usually pays for the restoration of the item. It pays to be aware of the following situations concerning a partial loss:

• Hidden damage such as mold, air ducts, and soot
  
• Improperly repaired items
  
• Delays in settling a claim
  
• Disputes over items that qualify for a partial loss
  
  

As with all insurance claims, documentation is always critical and can speed up the settlement of a claim. An experienced storm remediation company can help with this aspect of fire recovery by itemizing all work and expenses and sending this on to the insurance company.
