📰 Three Oaks, this is what a basement looks like after fire and water.
This job is right here in Three Oaks. The basement walls are covered in soot, the corner by the electrical panel is blackened, and a drain pipe under the floor above was damaged by the heat. When a fire is put out, the damage doesn't end there. Soot spreads, water soaks in, and smoke odor settles into everything.
Fire and water damage almost always come together. That is why a fire job needs a plan for both.
✅ What fire leaves behind:
• Soot that travels well past where the flames were
• Damaged pipes that can leak once the water is back on
• Water from firefighting that soaks into floors, walls and contents
• Smoke odor that lingers until it is properly treated
• Hidden moisture that can lead to mold if it isn't dried
