Taking prompt action in the aftermath of a fire is essential for resuming daily activities at your Rockaway home. Faster restoration can also help ease the costs involved. Although the advantages of a speedier conclusion are clear, many issues can delay the conclusion of a restoration exercise.

Sometimes what interferes with fire damage restoration in a Rockaway home might be minor or unexpected. Only an experienced restoration team such as SERVPRO can anticipate such challenges and thus prevent or resolve them easily.

Some hindrances to fire restoration are centered on electricity and include:

• Power interruption
• Power distribution challenges
• Challenges lighting the work site
• Heating

Fire affects most of the utilities in the house by damaging cables, pipes, and other parts. For example, the insulating materials around electric cables are devastated by heat and flames. Therefore, turning off the power at the mains is necessary until the utilities are inspected and deemed safe to operate, or the damaged electrical is removed.

Turning off power for safety creates other problems since many of the equipment needed to clean or remove materials run on electricity. One way to fix this is by using a generator. The choice of a generator can be challenging. It hinges on the dimensions of your house and accessibility issues such as reaching confined areas. SERVPRO has different generator types, including portable and industrial varieties, to handle every challenge, including 24-hour operation.

Proper heating and lighting are necessary to restore a property after fire damage. Heating helps with drying and protects electronics from cooling to the dew point in a humid environment, which causes secondary damage from corrosion. Sufficient lighting is essential for completing various tasks faster, including cleaning, demolition, and refinishing damaged areas.
