Our Fire Damage Restoration & Repair Process

When confronted with fire damage, it's essential to act swiftly to ensure personal safety and property protection. 

 

1. Emergency Response and Safety: Everyone should vacate the property as structural damage may persist, even after flames are extinguished. After the Mesa Fire Department has controlled the fire, a reputable fire damage restoration company like Best Option Restoration should be contacted. 

2. Inspection & Assessment: Upon arrival, our restoration team will inspect the property for structural damage, smoke, and soot. 

3. Board Up & Tarps: We implement emergency measures like boarding up and tarping to protect your property from additional damage. 

4. Water Extraction: We remove standing water resulting from firefighting efforts. 

5. Smoke & Soot Removal: We use specialized techniques and cleaning products to remove soot and debris. 

6. Contents Restoration: Any salvageable items are taken to a cleaning facility, where they are restored to their pre-loss condition. 

7. Clean & Sanitize: We sanitize affected areas using specialized equipment and cleaning agents to remove any odors or residue. 

8. Rebuild & Repair: The final phase involves rebuilding and restoring damaged areas.

Who is Liable for Fire Damage? 

Fire Damage Liability can be a complex situation, depending on the cause. As a property owner, you are liable if safety standards are not maintained, such as failing to clean dryer vents, improperly storing flammable materials, or not maintaining safety equipment. You are not liable if the fire's origin and destruction were not due to your negligence, like acts of nature or arson, or if a contractor's mistake caused the fire. Accountable Home Services can help with the complex task of determining the fire source and gathering all necessary documentation to prove your innocence.

​

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Fire Damage?

Homeowners insurance typically covers fire damage losses, provided the homeowner is not liable for the fire. Understanding the different components of your homeowner's insurance policy is key to comprehending what you are specifically covered for.

​

• Dwelling Coverage: This refers to the structure of your home. If a fire damages your home's structure, dwelling coverage can help pay for repairs or rebuilding. 

• Personal Property Coverage: This can help cover the cost of replacing your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing that were damaged by a fire.

• Additional Living Expenses or Loss of Use: If a fire forces you out of your home, this coverage can help pay for additional living expenses, such as hotel bills, restaurant meals, and other costs, while your home is being restored.

 

Collaborating with a fire damage restoration company like Accountable Home Services assures you of maximizing your claim's coverage. We liaise directly with your insurance company, providing them with all the required readings, documentation, and more to ensure you get the maximum coverage possible for your fire damage claim. Our goal is to make the recovery and restoration process less stressful, allowing you to focus on rebuilding and returning to normalcy.
