Water Damage After a Fire In Prince George’s County

4/20/2022 (Permalink)

After experiencing a fire in your home or business, the damages can be extensive. Firefighting efforts can put thousands of gallons of water into your home in minutes. Fire suppression is important when protecting your family, personal belonging, and structure from further fire damage. The intense heat of a fire can also melt plastic pipes quickly or cause structural weakness in metal pipes that can cause plumbing bursts. Water damage and fire damage add to the workload of the recovery and restoration process.

Once emergency officials have cleared the area, our certified technicians will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the water damage. This step is important for developing a plan of action. Our certified technicians will complete a full scope of work at the beginning of the project and provide you with an estimated timeline to know what to expect moving forward.
