STEP 4
Water Extraction & Removal Following Fire Damage
In the process of extinguishing a fire, the use of water, though necessary, introduces a new challenge in the form of water damage. At 247 Water Emergency, we specialize in addressing this issue head-on with our focused drying and rebuild services. Our experienced team promptly removes any excess water using state-of-the-art extraction methods.

STEP 5
Soot & Smoke Removal
It's easy to assume that once the flames are doused, the damage has been fully realized. Yet, the aftermath of a fire involves more than just extinguishing the flames. Smoke and soot can persist in causing significant damage well beyond the initial event. At 247 Water Emergency, we understand that even small, quickly extinguished fires can leave behind extensive smoke damage throughout a property. Our specialized soot and smoke removal services are designed to address this pervasive issue. By employing advanced techniques and equipment, we meticulously cleanse your property of these harmful residues, ensuring a thorough restoration. This essential step not only restores the aesthetic appeal of your property but also safeguards the health of its occupants by eliminating toxic particles.
STEP 6
Guidance on Clean-Up After Fire Damage
The aftermath of even a small and quickly contained fire can leave your property and its contents suffering from extensive damage due to fire, smoke, soot, and the water used to extinguish the flames. At 247 Water Emergency, we emphasize the importance of promptly evaluating the salvageability of affected items. To mitigate further damage and avert potential health issues, it's crucial that all items deemed salvageable undergo a comprehensive cleaning and sanitization process. Our expert team employs specialized techniques and solutions to ensure that your belongings are not only cleaned but restored to their pre-damage condition as much as possible. Trust in our meticulous process to help you recover valuable items, minimizing loss and ensuring a healthier environment post-disaster.
