Imagine yourself siting at your office desk, so focused on maintaining your business that you do not notice anything going on around you. Suddenly, you smell something foul – something which smells like dense burning smoke. The picture of flame in yours eyes was so unexpected that all you could humanly do, was to look for an escape to save yours and your employees lives.

The wave of worry in your mind is unexplainable. What do you do? How are you going to deal with the fire damage? Fire can come unexpectedly, but with preparedness, you can worry less. The following are a few do’s and don’ts in dealing with fire damage.

The remarkable Do’s:

  • The first thing you should do is make sure that your insurance will help you. In order for it to help, you will need evidence to prove how solid the fire damage was. This can be done by either calling your agent at the scene or taking pictures of the damage caused as soon as the fire is out.
  • Get the edible items which were exposed to fire out of the premises. There could be serious health consequences if anyone consumes the food which was exposed to fire or smoke.
  • Make sure you call your commercial property restoration contractor and start getting your rebuilding process started as soon as possible.
  • Shift all of your private data into a safer environment for a few days.
  • Make sure the walls are cleaned properly getting the smoke burn out before repainting.
  • Get any plants washed and make sure to replace the plants which were burned during the fire.

    The ugly Don’ts:

  • Keep your hands off of all the electrical appliances after a fire damage (because you never know how many wires have faced the damage due to the fire and can result out more damage for you).
  • Usually the electricity along with water and gas are turned off by the sector. Even if it is still available keep them off.
  • Do not start the painting process without cleaning the soot.
  • Avoid touching pipes which are either made of steel or iron, because they might have absorbed some sort of heat in them.
