What To Do After a Fire

After the devastation of a fire it can be hard to know where to start to put your life and property back in order. The fire restoration professionals at Kojeski Construction can help you every step of the way. First you may need temporary living facilities for up to eight months. We can help you arrange for this. We can also help you with all of the following:

Interfacing With Your Insurance Company

Your insurance agent must be contacted immediately. The insurance company will require an itemied estimate from a qualified fire restoration contractor for the repair of damages. We can provide this and assist you with the entire proces of interfacing with your insurance company, or work with your private adjuster to secure settlement of your claim.

Securing Your Property

Standing water must also be removed and any indication of mold must be reported to the insurance company. If utilities have not been disconnected, a professional electrician, plumbing, heating and air conditional professional should check for possible dangerous situations and address them immediately.

Every precaution must be taken to secure your property from vandalism or robbery. Every step must be taken to protect the property from exposure to the elements that could lead to further damage. During cold weather, plumbing lines must be winterized by a professional. Debris or potentially hazardous conditions around the property must be removed as soon as the insurance company allows.

Planning for Restoration

You will need a qualified fire restoration contractor to repair your home, one who will guarantee in writing that you will not have a smoke odor when the project is complete.

You will need an architect to prepare plans for the restoration. You may want to make changes in the original design and may need ideas on how to make those changes. You will need construction permits and may need a variance from the local zoning ordinances if you make changes.

You will need to know when all restoration work will be completed. At Kojeski Construction we provide clients with a schedule detailing exactly when everything will be completed.

Finally, if utilities have been disconnected, you will need professionals to begin the process of reconnection.

There are many elements involved in the restoration of your home. Our professional team at Kojeski Construction can provide the help you need to get the job done!
