Fire restoration is a comprehensive procedure involving the evaluation of property damage resulting from fire, the safeguarding of the affected premises, and the subsequent restoration to its initial condition. It falls under the broader scope of disaster restoration, which encompasses tasks like water damage restoration, weather damage restoration, and other related services.

Fires can be caused by a variety of factors, including electrical issues, cooking accidents, heating systems, smoking, and arson.

The length of time for fire restoration depends on the size and severity of the fire, but it typically takes several weeks to several months to complete.

Depending on the extent of the fire damage and the remediation process, it may be necessary to temporarily vacate the premises during the restoration process. Do not enter your damaged property unless the fire department says it is safe!

Equipment used in fire restoration may include air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, HEPA vacuums, and ozone generators.

Smoke damage is the residue left behind by smoke after a fire, which can include soot, ash, and odor.

Smoke damage is remediated by trained professionals who use specialized equipment and techniques to remove soot, ash, and odor from the affected area and contents.

Depending on the extent of the fire damage, some items may not be salvageable. However, professional fire restoration companies will do their best to restore as many items as possible.

While you’ll want to contact your insurance company as soon as possible, it can be difficult to connect with someone quickly after a major disaster.

Mitigation refers to the process of reducing or preventing the impact of a disaster or emergency. It involves taking actions to minimize the effects of an event, such as natural disasters or human-made crises, to ensure safety and protect property.

Water mitigation is a multi-phase process. The first step is to extract all remaining water from flooring, wet carpet, and other affected materials. Once the water is removed, specialized equipment such as dehumidifiers is used to dry the area. Unsalvageable materials affected by the water will be properly removed and discarded.

Water can create excess moisture in the air, which can damage the walls, floors, furniture, and other structural components in your home. Dehumidification effectively reduces air moisture, halting and preventing further damage to your home.

Signs of water damage can include damp or discolored walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, musty odors, mold growth, and pooling water.

The first thing you should do is to stop the water source, if possible. Then, try to remove any standing water and contact a professional water mitigation company for assistance.

Revival offers 24/7 emergency response services and can respond within hours.

The cost of mitigation services can vary depending on the type and severity of the emergency, the location, and the scope of the work required. If your insurance policy covers water mitigation, you are typically only responsible for the deductible.

When choosing a mitigation company, look for one that is licensed, insured, and certified by industry organizations such as the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

The short answer: it depends on three major factors. First, the amount of water involved. The more water, the longer the drying process and the larger the area to repair. Second, how long was the area exposed to moisture? The longer the area goes unmitigated, the more damage occurs. The final factor to consider is the materials affected. For instance, concrete, stone, etc., will have a different response to flooding than wood or drywall.

It is not recommended to fix water damage yourself, as it can be difficult to fully identify and address all of the affected areas. It is recommended to contact a professional water mitigation company for help.

It depends on your insurance policy and the cause of the water damage. Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover water damage caused by sudden and accidental incidents, such as burst pipes but may not cover damage caused by neglect or lack of maintenance. It’s important to review your policy carefully and contact your insurance provider for more information.

Since mold thrives in moist environments, areas that are consistently wet are great facilitators of mold growth. Mold growth can begin within 24-48 hours; therefore, it is essential to call a professional mitigation service as soon as possible.

Mold remediation involves the removal and elimination of mold from an area and restoring the affected area to a healthy state.

Mold growth is caused by excessive moisture in the air or on surfaces. Common causes of mold growth include leaks, high humidity levels, and poor ventilation.

Mold can come in many different colors, but usually, anything with a green, white, gray, blue, pink, or yellow color and a fluffy or slimy texture indicates mold. Mold also gives off a strong musty smell and appears in areas, like bathrooms, that can have high humidity. Mold can also trigger allergies, asthma attacks, and skin and eye irritation.

Certain molds, like Stachybotrys and Aspergillus, can produce toxins called mycotoxins, which can pose a danger to your health. Mold especially affects immune-compromised people and those with allergies or asthma. Mold can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, wheezing, burning eyes, or a skin rash, but for those with chronic lung disease, mold can lead to lung infections.

You can prevent mold growth by maintaining proper ventilation, fixing leaks promptly, and reducing humidity levels in your home or business.

Mold remediation is performed by trained professionals who use specialized equipment and techniques to identify and remove mold, as well as prevent future growth.

Equipment used in mold remediation may include air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, HEPA vacuums, and containment barriers.

Mold can be completely removed with the right techniques and equipment, but it is important to address the underlying cause of the mold growth to prevent it from returning.

The length of time for mold remediation depends on the size and severity of the mold growth, but it typically takes a few days to a week.

Depending on the severity of the mold growth and the extent of the remediation process, it may be necessary to temporarily vacate the premises during the remediation process.

No, a professional mold remediation company will thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected area to eliminate any musty odors.

It is not recommended to do mold remediation yourself, as mold can be dangerous and proper equipment and techniques are necessary to remove it safely and effectively.

Mold remediation should not cause damage to your property if performed by trained professionals who take care to protect your property during the process.

Mold can be covered under homeowner’s insurance if the mold growth stemmed from a sudden or accidental peril, like a plumbing leak, a flood, a toilet overflow, a dishwasher or washing machine failure, or firefighters extinguishing a fire. It’s best to check your policy and speak with your insurance company to see what’s covered.

The average lifespan of a roof varies depending on the material. Asphalt shingles typically last between 15 and 30 years, while metal and tile roofs can last up to 50 years or more with proper maintenance.

Your roof should be inspected at least once per year, preferably in the spring or fall. After a major storm or severe weather event, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected for damage.

• Missing shingles
• Water stains inside the home
• Exposed roof components that look out of place

However, there are also times when you might not see apparent roof issues such as rotting plywood, pipe collar cracks, or leaks. In this case, you have options, which leads to our next question.

Factors such as the age of your current roof and the extent of your roof leak will ultimately determine the next steps. In either case, the first step is to always get the issue inspected by a roofing company – an honest roofing company. Depending on what is causing the leak – a few missing shingles or a more serious problem – our roofing experts will then determine your appropriate next steps.

Many homeowners’ insurance policies cover roof repairs or replacements if the damage is caused by a covered peril, such as hail or wind. However, coverage varies by policy, and it is best to review your policy with your insurance agent to understand your coverage.

Hail damage may or may not pose an immediate threat to the structural integrity of the roof. However, many insurance companies have a “statute of limitations” on how long a hail claim is viable. If you have experienced a loss, such as hail damage, it is prudent to take care of the problem in a timely manner before it leads to other associated problems.

Over 90% of our replacement roofs are completed in just one day, and 99% within 48 hours. This depends on the size of the job, the slope of the roof, the type of shingles installed, the weather, and the number of daylight hours available at that time of year.

This can depend on a few factors, such as the climate you live in, the style of your home, and your budget. Some popular options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and clay tiles. Each option has its benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to do your research and consult with a professional roofing contractor to determine which type of roofing material will work best for your specific needs.

Many insurance claims are denied when homeowners do not have an experienced representative present at the inspection with the adjuster. This is why it is extremely important to have a Revival inspector meet with the adjuster. Our inspector will be your advocate and ensure damage is recognized and documented and that all current code items are covered to properly replace your roof. We are committed to you!

Yes.

Unfortunately, worn and/or aged roofs are not covered by insurance. If your home sustains storm damage, and it is not reported in a timely manner, your insurance provider may classify your claim as negligence and deny coverage.

Making informed purchasing decisions is vital, especially when it comes to your biggest investment, your home. Here are a few questions to ask before choosing a roofing contractor:

• Is your company insured?
• Is your company licensed?
• Are you certified by the shingle manufacturer?
• Is your company a BBB Accredited Business?
• Do you have references and reviews?
• What does your roofing warranty look like?
