Cleaning Up After a Chicago Fire

By Maryl Joop


As winter approaches in Chicago, it is necessary that you know how you are going to prepare your home for the winter months. Many people do not realize that they are going to have to take time to prepare their home to ensure their home is safe when the temperatures start to drop.

While you are working on the fire restoration in Chicago, you should be sure that you go about the process properly. If you are not careful, you may end up doing more damage while you are cleaning up, rather than being able to provide positive headway for your damaged area.

When water freezes it will expand. As ice forms in the pipes, the water will continue to expand as it is pushed up the pipe and when the water pressure is increased, the pipe can burst and the water from the pipe can spill over into the home and cause a lot of water damage.

This is because as a fire burns it fundamentally changes the chemical make up of whatever item is being burned through the introduction of intense heat. As an item or material is heated, the base compounds that make up the item or material are changed and released from each other.

This chemical reaction brought on by the introduction of severe heat from a fire produces the phenomenon known as smoke. Different gasses and particulates will appear in different types of fires due to the different items that are being burned.

Therefore every fire will have different dangers due the different items that are releasing their chemical make up into the air through smoke. There are, however, generalities in found in the chemical composition of smoke produced by common fire house fires.

The most typical and perhaps the most deadly gas found in all smoke is the poisonous gas carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide gasses are poisonous to humans and cause quick incapacitation due to the loss of consciousness.

Talk with your local plumbing store to find an insulation that will fit over the pipes that have been placed in your home. After you find the right insulation, you may want to work with a professional to ensure all of the insulation is placed properly.

As you are vacuuming, you should be using a professional grade vacuum that will not get ruined by the ash that you are going to be sucking out throughout the time you are cleaning.

A professional company will have the process streamlined and will have equipment that you may not even have access to that will ensure the water damage is taken care of quickly.

Take the time that you need to understand how you are going to clean successfully to ensure that you can save as much as you can from fire damage and smoke damage. Start the process as soon as possible and make sure that you are safe throughout the entire time that you are cleaning the area.
