What to Do Before Kingsley Arrives
You can help minimize damage while waiting for our team to arrive:
- Ensure safety first - only re-enter the home when the fire department confirms it's safe to do so. Wear protective gear like masks and gloves if entering.
- Contact your insurance company immediately to report the damage and begin the claims process. Document everything by taking photos and videos of all damaged areas. Kingsley will also document all damage during the inspection process.
- Prevent further damage:
- Open windows and doors if weather permits to begin ventilating smoke
- Remove ice or water from wood furniture and floors if possible
- Clean refrigerator/freezer and leave doors open if power is off
- Limit movement in the home to prevent soot from being embedded deeper into carpets and furniture
- Do NOT:
- Use electrical appliances until they've been inspected
- Consume any food items that were exposed to heat/smoke
- Clean walls, painted surfaces, or carpet yourself (improper cleaning can set stains)
- Turn on HVAC systems which could spread soot
- Wash drapes or other textiles - improper cleaning can set smoke odor permanently
- Gather important documents and valuables that survived the fire, and secure them in a safe location.
These steps will help minimize additional damage while waiting for Kingsley restoration services to begin our work.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): What to do after a wild fire
Only return when fire officials declare it's safe. Even then, be cautious of structural damage and air quality issues.
Coverage depends on your specific policy. Document everything with photos/videos and contact your insurance provider immediately for guidance on your coverage and claims process.
Smoke damage often extends far beyond visible soot. It can penetrate walls, ductwork, and personal belongings, requiring professional cleaning to prevent long-term damage and health issues.
Timeline varies based on damage extent, but typically ranges from several weeks to months. Your restoration company can provide a more accurate estimate after assessment.
Avoid DIY cleaning as improper techniques can set stains and make damage permanent. Wait for professional restoration services who have proper equipment and expertise.
Professional restorers will assess each item. Many belongings can be restored using specialized cleaning techniques, though some items may be beyond repair.
Air quality concerns can persist even after the fire. Professional testing and air purification may be necessary before the home is safe to occupy.
Smoke odor requires professional deodorization techniques. The smell can linger if not properly treated and can return during humid weather if not fully remediated.
Wait for professional inspection as running contaminated HVAC systems can spread soot and smoke throughout your home.
Keep all receipts, take photos of damage, maintain a detailed inventory of damaged items, and gather any pre-fire photos of your home's condition.
