Having a fire in your home can
be an extremely traumatic event, as many of our customers attest
to. We are here to help you get back to normal and following the
advice below can make the road to recovery that much easier.
Once Landway Construction has been appointed
on behalf of your Insurance Company, or their loss adjusters, subject
to policy cover, to assist in the restoration of your buildings
and/or contents.
We will understand that your property has been
affected by fire and smoke damage. Our staff will be grateful for
your assistance in providing as much information as possible about
the incident and for an opportunity to inspect the affected areas.
Initial consideration will be given on emergency
work to prevent further damage and the health and safety of you,
your family, the restoration technicians and any other subcontractors
that may need access to the property.
Emergency work may involve the following:
- Site safety. Have gas and electricity supplies
been made safe?
- Preliminary detoxification which may involve
thermal fogging, a technique producing millions of deodorant particles
in a fog that has a mist like appearance and the ability to go
wherever the smoke malodour has gone.
- Ventilation of the property.
- The application of solutions to burnt or
charred surfaces and smoke damaged walls to prevent the evaporation
of odour bearing molecules.
- Removal of burnt or charred building materials
and/or contents items dependant upon policy cover.
- Application of granular odour counteractants
to control airborne odour particles.
The extent of restoration work possible will depend
upon the intensity of the fire which we will advise you after our
site visit.
Our goal is to get you back in your home
as soon as possible.
