Fire Damage Reconstruction

by

When a fire damages your home or business, it’s more than a disaster—it can feel like your life has been disrupted. Fire damage isn’t just about what you see; it also brings issues like smoke damage, hazardous residues, and often extensive water damage from firefighting efforts. For property owners in Ohio, quick and professional reconstruction can make all the difference in getting back to normal.

Here’s what you need to know about fire damage reconstruction and how our team at Lewis Construction helps make this process as seamless as possible.

How our team helps make this process seamless

Step 1: Emergency Fire Damage Response and Assessment

In the immediate aftermath of a fire, securing your property is essential. The first steps include:

  • Boarding up windows and doors to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Tarping open roofs and walls to protect against the elements.
  • Utility safety checks to prevent further issues with gas or water.

Our trained specialists arrive promptly to handle these critical steps, ensuring the property remains safe from further damage.

Step 2: Comprehensive Damage Inspection

Fire damage extends beyond charred walls. Water from firefighting can seep into unseen areas, increasing the risk of mold, rot, and other structural issues. Our team inspects for:

  • Smoke and heat damage in materials and hidden areas.
  • Water damage in walls, flooring, and ceilings.
  • Structural integrity of key areas like foundations and joists.

Step 3: Cleaning, Deodorizing, and Decontamination

Fire residue and smoke can permeate every part of your property, including HVAC systems, leaving behind lingering odors and potential health hazards. Our team partners with restoration experts to thoroughly:

  • Clean and deodorize all affected spaces.
  • Remove any hazardous residues left by fire or smoke.
  • Decontaminate areas to ensure they are safe for rebuilding.

Step 4: Custom Reconstruction Plans

Once cleanup is complete, we work with you to create a personalized reconstruction plan. This involves:

  • Working with your insurance to ensure all damages are covered.
  • Setting timelines and priorities for repairs.
  • Coordinating with specialists for areas like electrical work, flooring, and painting.

At Lewis Construction, our project managers keep you informed at every stage, so there are no surprises.
