Why It’s Dangerous to Move Back in Before Fire Damage Restoration
It is understandable that you may be eager to return to your home as soon as possible, but it’s important to take the necessary precautions to protect your health. The dangerous effects of a fire are two-fold:
- Fire Damage: When your home or business has been through the extreme heat of a fire, there may be major structural damage that you can’t see. The damage to the structure of your home may have even been made worse by the high-pressure water from the extinguishing hoses. Even if you assume there was no structural damage to your home, there will likely be dangerous debris all over the home, such as broken glass. Furthermore, many homes contain paints that contain dangerous chemicals that become much more dangerous when exposed to these levels of heat. These chemicals can be a major health risk to anyone in the house.
- Smoke Damage: Smoke is made up of heated particles and gasses, therefore a fire in your home or business can produce hundreds of potentially dangerous chemicals. Even if you can’t see smoke in your home or business, you may be inhaling toxic smoke particles. It is vital to let a fire damage company like Recovery Solutions in Leon Springs and San Antonio assess the area before you return so that you don’t compromise your health.
