After a fire, flood, or other natural disaster, many homeowners believe they have time to take stock of the situation and, perhaps, handle some of the cleanup themselves. However, in many instances the damage is still ongoing, so the sooner you call an emergency fire or flood damage repair provider, the more money and time you may save.

Below are just a few reasons to call a fire restoration or flood damage repair contractor as soon as possible, courtesy of Unitek Contracting Group in Oahu:

• More Salvaged Items: Smoke and fire damage can continue discoloring your personal possessions for hours after the disaster, and water can be even more destructive. An experienced contractor will be able to quickly identify the belongings in your home that might be salvageable and take the necessary steps to mitigate the damage.
• Reduced Repair Costs: The longer fire or flood damage repair is put off, the more extensive and costly it will be. Water damage is especially persistent, spreading through walls, ruining insulation, and permanently destroying wood and plaster. Prompt flood damage repair will reduce your repair costs and prevent the growth of mold that can cause serious health issues for your family.
• Limited Repair Scope: Having your fire or water damage repair taken care of immediately will likely prevent further, more serious problems in the future. While no result is ever guaranteed, having a 24/7 emergency repair contractor visit as soon as possible will likely forestall the need for further visits in the future.
