Common Causes of House Fires

As a homeowner in Janesville, it’s important to be aware of the most common causes of house fires. By understanding these risks, you can take preventive measures to keep your home and family safe. Here are some of the top causes:

• Cooking Accidents: Unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of house fires, especially when frying with oils that can easily ignite.
• Heating Equipment: Space heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves can cause fires if placed too close to flammable materials or improperly maintained.
• Electrical Malfunctions: Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and old appliances can trigger electrical fires, particularly in older homes.
• Smoking Indoors: Cigarettes, cigars, or other smoking materials that aren’t fully extinguished can ignite furniture, carpeting, and bedding.
• Candles: Left unattended, candles can easily tip over and start a fire, especially near flammable objects like curtains or bedding.
• Faulty Appliances: Malfunctioning dryers, ovens, and other household appliances can overheat and cause fires if not properly maintained or repaired.

Our Comprehensive Fire Damage Repair and Restoration Process

1. Identifying the Type of Fire: We first determine the source and type of fire that occurred in your home. This helps us tailor our approach to restoration, as different types of fires (e.g., electrical, grease, or chemical fires) leave behind unique damage.
2. Assessing Water Damage: Any areas affected by water from firefighting efforts are evaluated. Water removal and drying are critical to preventing mold and further structural harm.
3. Water Damage Remediation: If necessary, we handle any water damage using industrial-grade equipment to thoroughly dry your home and prevent mold growth.
4. Evaluating Smoke and Soot Damage: Sensitive materials like upholstery, carpets, and electronics may suffer damage from smoke and soot particles. We carefully inspect and address any such damage to restore affected items.
5. Removing Personal Items: We prioritize removing essential items you’ll need for the next week, such as clothing, medications, schoolbooks, and business materials. These immediate belongings are packed and made available to you during the restoration process.
6. Packing and Storing Contents: The rest of your home’s contents are carefully packed out for professional cleaning and safe storage while we work on structural restoration.
7. Structural Restoration: This involves removing charred materials that can seal in smoke odors, including insulation and burned wood. Our team replaces these materials with new, safe ones to restore your home’s integrity.
8. Carpet and Flooring Assessment: We inspect carpets and floor coverings to determine if they need to be removed or restored, ensuring the space is safe and clean.
9. Safety Inspections: We check the framing of the house and subfloors for safety, ensuring that your home is structurally sound before moving forward with repairs.
10. Smoke Odor Treatment: Affected surfaces are treated to neutralize smoke odors. This involves advanced deodorization techniques to eliminate lingering smells.
11. Sealing for Odor Prevention: To prevent odors from re-entering your home, we seal treated areas to ensure they remain fresh and odor-free.
12. Restoration and Cleaning: We thoroughly clean all affected surfaces, deodorize the space, and return your home to its pre-loss condition, ensuring it is safe, clean, and comfortable again.
13. Returning Your Belongings: After we complete the restoration, we bring your belongings back and carefully arrange them how they were before.
