After the immediate danger of a fire has been taken care of, homeowners are left with the aftermath.  The destruction caused by fire ranges from minor smoke damage to extreme structural damage.  The Midstates Home Solutions team strives to respond within 24 hours of a call for fire damage.  We will send a certified builder to the site to assess the damage.  Each instance varies widely, yet there are standard things that must be done to rid your home of the scars left in the wake of a fire.

Smoke Damage

Even with a small kitchen fire, the smoke could engulf the entire house.  The odor and stains have contaminated each and every nook and cranny including: furniture, walls, clothing, carpet, etc.  Thus, the smoke residue must be cleaned from every nook and cranny.  Our team will arrange whatever specialty services are necessary to ensure that the entire structure as well as its contents are rid of the smoke residue.  If the wallpaper and carpeting are damaged beyond cleaning capacity, we will replace them.  The walls will also be recaulked and repainted to seal the odor and stains and leave the house with a fresh look.

Non-Structural Damage

The fire itself or the heat caused by fire may have damaged the wiring in the house and/or melted shingles on the roof.  These would be assessed and replaced if necessary.  The insulation may need to be replaced as well.  Structural wood that had been charred but not destroyed would be scraped, sealed and repainted.

Structural Damage

Our team coordinates with the Building Department and Insurance Companies to restore your home.  We advocate for your safety and best interest.  Depending upon the damage, blueprints, permits and code inspections may be necessary.  Midstates Home Solutions will do whatever it takes to re-build and restore your home in accordance with municipality codes.  We are qualified to re-build structure as well as any cosmetic work that must be done.  The insurance company will be billed for all damage expenses over and above the deductible.  Should the homeowner decide to take advantage of the opportunity to make additional home improvements, our team would be more than willing to accommodate.
