Some problems come in packages, such as fire and water damage. Many New York homes face accidental fires, requiring immediate remediation and restoration. If it catches fire, you call firefighters to control the situation and protect your house from more damage. They use water to mitigate flames. Unfortunately, the same water that saves your home from blazing flames becomes another sign of trouble. Most residential fires are doused by water sprayed from sprinkler systems, foam extinguishers, or fire hoses. Where does this sprinkled water go? Furniture, walls, floors, and other structures soak it, adding to the unpleasant consequences of fire damage. You may take a sigh of relief that the fire is out. However, allowing the water to sit on the property can be a grave mistake.

 

The Zicklin Contracting team offers a full range of fire water damage clean up and restoration services to protect your home in New York City and surrounding areas. Water damage will worsen without concrete efforts, manifesting in different unwanted shapes and forms.

Consequences of water damage after a fire

One of the most worrying effects of water damage is structural weakness. Fire already harms the building materials by burning them. When water penetrates insulation, drywall, and wood, these structures succumb to sagging, warping, and collapsing risks. You already know dampness lays down the perfect breeding ground for mold growth. If not treated within one or two days, mold becomes a health hazard and harms the home structure. Since fires also cause soot accumulation, you can imagine the condition if it comes into contact with water. The sticky substance will damage walls, carpets, furniture, and other porous materials, creating odor issues. Even electrical hazards can occur.

FAQs

  • What is the common cause of residential fires?

Leaving stove unattended during cooking.

  • How can you prevent fire accidents in a home?

Install smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, be careful when cooking food, check electrical connections, etc.

  • Can you live in a burned house?

A small amount of toxic chemicals released during a house fire may not be as dangerous. However, staying away from the property is better if tar and carbon combine with other fire-led chemicals. Even brief exposure to them can be threatening.

  • How do you build fireproof walls?

Fire-resistant and fire-retarding plywood or gypsum can help.
