    What to Know About Fire-Damaged Homes for Sale

    A housefire is one of a homeowner's fears, not only because it translates to costly personal property losses but also because of its after-effects to health and structure. Restoration and repairs can also be expensive; this remains true even for those who are planning to invest on a fire-damaged home for sale.

    Take note that proper restoration can only be performed by a professional company such as ServiceMaster of Cobb, so there are several things to consider before signing those final closing documents and officially purchasing the property. In this article, ServiceMaster of Cobb offers a few tips for buying a fire-damaged house.

    What Fire Damage Does to a Home

    The aftermath of a fire brings with it smoke and soot which, if not removed quickly and properly, could have lasting effects on household items and furniture. Read them below.

  • Upholstery. Porous upholstery can absorb a lot of smoke and soot, and handling the problem with the use of a vacuum cleaner actually does more harm: it forces the soot deeper and makes cleaning even more difficult.
  • Bedding and Clothing. Smoke and soot particles can remain in clothes fabric and bedding and leave a smell. They can only be removed by thorough cleaning with special washing techniques and cleaning solutions.
  • Furniture. The extent of smoke damage depends on the type of furniture. Without proper cleaning from a professional smoke and soot removal company, smoke damage can cause discoloration and staining of surfaces and also corrosion of metal because of its high levels of acidity.
  • Carpet. Carpets can be stained by wooden and corroding metal furniture. Eliminating smoke residue and odors from carpets needs thorough work, best done by a company offering carpet cleaning solutions after a fire damage.
  • Metal Surfaces. Since soot is highly acidic, it can cause rusting or corrosion in metals.
  • Hard Wood Floors. Some people overlook the fact that fire damage can also cause a water damage risk, usually as a result of firefighting activity. Water-damaged wood floors may need a replacement.
  • Hard Surfaces. Aside from wood, porous building materials such as drywall and plaster may experience discoloration due to smoke damage.
  • In addition to the things mentioned, smoke particles can also penetrate cracks and therefore cause damage in seemingly closed-off parts of the home. Smoke damage can also affect appliances, porcelain, and synthetic surfaces.

    A prospect buyer may want to inspect the home for fire damage if it will be bought as it is. Check for damages on the structure, utilities, and major systems, so that the cost of repair and restoration may be estimated.

    What are the Pros and Cons of Purchasing Fire-Damaged Homes?

    There are many factors to consider when buying a fire-damaged home. It has its own set of benefits and disadvantages. Read them below.

    PROS

    Price

  • Fire-damaged homes are often undervalued. A recent fire may cost less in further repairs if repairs were already made beforehand.
  • When an undervalued fire-damaged home is purchased as a fix-and-flip, the chance for a higher return-on-investment is good, especially if any repairs can be made quickly and affordably.
  • Repairing a fire-damaged home gives the buyer the chance to inspect the home and have other problems repaired.
  • Customization

  • Gut renovation enables the buyer to create design and layout changes for the house, in addition to having it properly repaired, giving it a personal feel.
  • CONS

    Damages

  • A buyer will have to obtain information about the fire incident, such as its location and spread, how long ago it happened, and the structural damages it incurred.
  • Additionally, there may also be unknown or hidden damages that could only be revealed after a complete inspection by a certified home inspector or a structural engineer.
  • The home's electrical wiring may have to be inspected for fire damage as well.
  • Other damages to look out for are: charring or scorch marks; a lingering smoke odor; a musty smell from mold growth (result of water damage from firefighting efforts); warping of floors, window frames and door frames; and damaged pipes and HVAC system.
  • Prevent Further Damage by Calling a Trusted Fire Damage Restoration Service after a Fire Incident in Georgia

    Fire damage is not a do-it-yourself project. Whether you have experienced fire damage firsthand or are buying a fire-damaged home, proper restoration and repair can only be provided by a licensed and certified restoration company, such as ServiceMaster of Cobb.

    Our team is trained to assess your property and determine how the structure and contents were impacted by the fire, smoke, heat, soot, off-gassing and the subsequent water—including identifying any hidden water damage and odor.

    After a careful assessment, we utilize the latest equipment and supplies, and apply our understanding of the chemical combinations that can effectively clean and salvage property before beginning our fire and smoke damage restoration process:

  • Emergency pre-cleaning
  • Content cleaning and pack-out
  • Wall and ceiling cleaning

    Causes, Categories, and Classes of Water Damage

     

    Water damage restoration is something that many of us may need without realizing it. The common mistake here is to assume that you don’t need water damage restoration in Georgia until things get dramatic – until you have water bursting forth from a pipe or flood water slowly rising in your home.

    In these cases, you might be tempted to panic and to try and call a water damage restoration company just as soon as you’ve managed to stop the influx of water and the other causes of water damage.

    Though, this is commonly not what water damage will look like. More often, you’ll find that water damage takes the form of a more gradual deterioration caused by a leak or some kind of standing water. It might cause sanitation issues, it’s not very energy-efficient, and it can lead to moldstructural issues, and all manner of other problems and other causes of water damage.


    Professional Water Damage Restoration Company 

    When water is on the move, time is critical. ServiceMaster of Cobb recognizes the shock and emotional disruption that most people suffer in these situations. Our goal is to help homeowners & business owners overcome their feelings of helplessness by clarifying what is happening, explaining our process, and giving unlimited support.

    We offer water damage restoration services, such as: 
    What Are The Common Causes Of Water Damage? 
    • Pipes in the loft – broken or frozen;
    • Blocked guttering;
    • Storage tanks – leaky or over-flowing;
    • Badly fitted bathroom tiles;
    • Broken or poor-fitting shower screens and curtains;
    • Shower trays – broken or badly fitted;
    • Baths – poorly plumbed in or unattended;
    • Poorly maintained sealant around bath and shower;
    • Poorly maintained or open chimneys;
    • Flashing around chimney – damaged or poorly installed;
    • Roof tiles – missing or broken;
    • Poorly installed or broken windows;
    • Defrosted fridges and ice machines;
    • Damp proof course – failed or missing;
    • Insufficient or low-lying air bricks;
    • Damp proof course – bridged;
    • Old corroded pipework;
    • DIY nailing into pipes;
    • Leaking radiators;
    • Corroded ball valves in toilet cisterns;
    • Blocked sewers and sewage backflow;
    • Unattended or blocked sinks;
    • Appliances – faulty or corroded;

    • Drainage – poor or insufficient (around foundations);
    • External flooding;
    • Insufficient threshold on external doors;
    • Poorly maintained boilers;
    • Hot water cylinders – poorly maintained;
    • Broken aquariums.

    Dangers Of Not Treating The Source Of  Water Damage 

    It is important that property owners are able to pick out possible water damage as early as possible and to find experienced professionals to accurately find the source of the water damage if it isn’t obvious.

    There are health risks linked to water damage that one should be aware of. A common health risk is seen (or unseen) mold. A build-up of this can cause symptoms such as: 
    • Coughing
    • Fatigue 
    • Skin rashes

    Categories and Classes of  Water Damage

    Categories of Water Damage

    Assessing the severity of the damage is important for determining what is needed to start water damage repair and water removal.

    • Category 1 
      • Clean water, or water that does not pose a threat to humans. Possible causes of this type of damage include broken appliances or sink overflows.
    • Category 2 
      • Gray water. This means that the water is contaminated and may cause sickness if ingested. This type of water contains microorganisms. Broken toilets, broken sump pumps, and seepage may cause Category 2 water damage.
    • Category 3 
      • Black water. This type of water is unsanitary, as it contains bacteria and other organisms that cause sickness. The possible sources of black water damage include sewage problems and contamination of standing water.

    Classes of Water Damage

    The class of damage is important when assessing water damage repair options.
    • Class 1 
      • The least harmful form of damage. Materials absorb very little of the water from this type of damage. Water damage repair is the easiest in this type of situation.
    • Class 2 
      • It has a fast rate of evaporation, which means that carpets and cushions may be damaged. Water damage repair is more difficult when it involves Class 2 damage.
    • Class 3 
      • It has the fastest rate of evaporation. In this case, the water may come from broken sprinklers or other overhead sources, soaking the walls and furniture.
    • Class 4 
      • It requires special water restoration and water removal procedures. This type of damage may affect hardwood floors, plaster, and concrete.

    Preparing For Hurricane Season: Complete Guide

     



    Hurricane season has officially kicked off and here in the United States, we have already seen our first tropical storm of the year. Severe weather can be devastating in terms of property damage and loss of personal items – not to mention the possibility of personal tragedies.

    • We have many years of experience in storm damage repair and can quickly and efficiently repair your property after a devastating storm. 
    • We have a reputation for expert craftsmanship, affordable rates, and reliable service

    We offer: 
    To help you prevent storm damage in Georgia, here are some tips and resources you can use to keep your home safe during the hurricane season.


    Preparing For Hurricane Season 

    The best time to prepare for a hurricane is long before one ever forms in the ocean. Once hurricane season rolls around, you should begin preparations to secure your home and make sure you have enough supplies on hand to “weather the storm”. 

    • When Is Hurricane Season? 
      • Hurricane season officially begins June 1st and ends November 30th. Tropical storms can, however, arrive before and after these dates, but the majority of hurricanes and tropical storms in this region occur during this time period.

    Difference Among a Tropical Depression, a Tropical Storm, and a Hurricane 


    Knowing the difference between the three is an important step to properly preparing for one of these violent storms. Severe tropical weather here in the United States comes in three main varieties: 

    • Tropical Depressions 
      • The beginning stage to any tropical threat 
      • It may also be called: 
        • tropical system
        • tropical disturbance
        • tropical wave
        • tropical activity. 
      • A weather formation that may or may not turn into a tropical storm or hurricane, depending upon certain conditions.
      • A result of low pressure and thunderstorms that create a circular wind pattern
      • The maximum wind speed for this type of weather pattern is 39mph.
    • Tropical Storms
      • If the wind remains at 39mph or higher (up to 73mph), then the tropical depression is upgraded to a tropical storm and it officially receives a name.
    • Hurricanes 
      • If a tropical storm passes 74mph or greater, it is considered a hurricane and will be placed into a category ranging from 1-5, with 5 being the most powerful. 
      • Wind speed for each category can be defined as below:
        • Category 1 Hurricane: 74-95mph
        • Category 2 Hurricane: 96-110mph
        • Category 3 Hurricane: 111-130mph
        • Category 4 Hurricane: 131-155mph
        • Category 5 Hurricane: Greater than 156mph

    How To Prepare For A Hurricane 

    Even though weather forecast and storm predictions improve each year tropical storms and hurricanes are still unpredictable and the property damage they can leave in their wake is often greater than analysts predict. Because of this, it is important to start preparing for a hurricane at the beginning of the hurricane season – if not before.

    • Have a map of all evacuation routes in your area. 
      • Make sure you drive the route at the start of the hurricane season and that your family members know how to reach them as well.
    • Inspect your home or have a professional inspect it 
      • Check for: 
        • loose roof tiles, 
        • structural damage, 
        • poor seals around windows 
        • Doors
      • Install storm shutters and impact windows. 
        • Studies show that they greatly reduce storm and water damage in the event of a hurricane.
    • Stock up on non-perishable supplies. 
      • We recommend a minimum of three days worth of non-perishable food for each family member, including any pets. Be sure to pack snacks and comfort food as well, especially if you have young children.
        • flashlights 
        • hand-cranked radio
        • Purchasing additional cell phone batteries 
        • Canned food
        • can openers 
        • powdered milk
        • plenty of water 
    • Stock up Medications 
      • Over the counter medication, such as: 
      • cold medicine
      • headache medicine
      • pain relievers 
      • A first-aid kit 
    • Secure any outside objects or bring them inside
      • This includes things like: 
        • lawn chairs 
        • tables
        • pool umbrellas 
        • outdoor canopies
    • Fill up your vehicles with gas 
    • Ready.gov has a great list for a basic disaster supplies kit that every homeowner should follow.

    What Is A  Hurricane Warning and A Hurricane Watch? 

    Hurricane Watch
    • Basically, it tells you that a hurricane making landfall in your area is probable or likely and that you should prepare for that eventuality. 
    • Issued 48 hours prior to the anticipated onset of tropical storm strength winds.

    Hurricane Warning

    • It means that severe weather is imminent.
    • If a warning has been issued, your area is either already feeling the effects of a hurricane, or is about to. 
    • It issued 36 hours before the anticipated onset of tropical force winds.

    What To Do During A Hurricane? 

    If you have not been ordered to evacuate and you feel safe in your home, once a hurricane or tropical storm hits, you should always: 

    • Stay inside your home, as long as the structural integrity of your home is okay. 
    • Find a secure room in your home and gather your family there. 
    • Keep clear of any windows, as debris could shatter them and enter your home. 
    • Keep any essential tools nearby, as well as a first-aid kit and a radio to listen to weather updates.

    What To In the Aftermath Of A Hurricane?

    • Make sure the local news has given the okay to venture outside.
    • Don’t be fooled by the eye of the hurricane. 
    • Never venture out when the eye of the hurricane is passing over, as you can quickly get caught in the storm once it picks back up again.
    • Once you are certain it is safe to venture outdoors, check the area for any downed power lines. If you find them: 
      • Report them to the local power company and steer clear of them. 
      • Avoid puddles and standing water, as they can house hidden dangers and safety hazards.
    • Inspect your home for any structural damage. 
      • Damaged walls, collapsing roofs, and floods are particularly dangerous, and if you encounter them, you will want to evacuate the premises immediately. 
    • Document any damage to your phone or a camera. 
      • Hurricanes often result in water damage and flood damage and may result in mold and mildew, as well as fire damage.
    • Once you have taken note of any damage and your family is safe and secure, your next step should be to call your insurance company and a storm damage restoration company, such as the catastrophe remediation professionals at ServiceMaster of Cobb. Not only can they help repair your property and its contents, but they can also help guide you through the insurance claims process and develop a safety plan for any future catastrophic events.
