Types of fire losses in Kissimmee, FL

Kissimmee shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Florida's year-round humidity, intense afternoon storms and hurricane season create the most mold-friendly conditions in the country, and air-conditioning condensate leaks are one of the most common sources of interior water damage. Storm surge, roof damage and wind-driven rain during tropical systems account for many of the largest losses. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

• Small fires that were extinguished quickly but filled the house with smoke
• Candle and holiday decoration fires
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Clothes dryer lint fires
• Garage, workshop and vehicle fires
• Smoke damage from a fire in a neighboring home or apartment unit

Soot, odor and water: three clocks running at once

Three forms of damage continue after the flames are out. Soot residue corrodes and stains surfaces progressively. Odor molecules migrate deeper into porous materials. And suppression water, often hundreds of gallons, swells, delaminates and eventually grows mold in everything it touched. Early stabilization changes what can be saved.

That is why restoration companies in Kissimmee aim to be on site within a day or two of the fire even when reconstruction will take months. Board-up protects the property; extraction and drying stop the water damage; and the first cleaning pass removes the most corrosive residue.

Our fire damage restoration process in Kissimmee

1. Emergency contact and safety check. Once the fire department releases the property, the crew evaluates structural stability, utilities and air quality.
2. Board-up, tarping and security. Windows, doors and roof openings are sealed against weather, animals and intruders.
3. Suppression water cleanup. Extraction and drying equipment address the water left by firefighting.
4. Structural cleaning. Walls, ceilings, cabinets, fixtures and the HVAC system are cleaned using methods chosen for wet, dry or protein smoke.
5. Contents inventory, pack-out and cleaning. Salvageable belongings are documented, cleaned on or off site and stored; non-salvageable items are listed for the claim.
6. Odor removal with thermal fogging, hydroxyl or ozone and sealing of structural surfaces, followed by full reconstruction.

Salvage versus replace

More than most people expect. Glass, ceramics, metal and sealed wood clean well. Many textiles are restorable with specialty laundering and ozone. Electronics that were not exposed to heat can often be cleaned and tested, and documents and photos can be freeze-dried. Items generally not salvageable include food and medicine exposed to heat or smoke, melted plastics, mattresses, particleboard furniture and heavily sooted drywall and insulation.

Pricing, estimates and insurance claims

Fire restoration costs in Kissimmee vary enormously, from a few days of cleaning after a contained kitchen fire to months of reconstruction after a structural fire.

Fire is a named peril on standard policies. Expect the claim to involve a structural estimate, a contents inventory and, if you cannot stay in the home, additional living expense coverage.

Ask the crew to walk you through the estimate and the claim process; good documentation from day one is the best way to get a claim paid.
