‘Tis the season for lots of love, joy, and giving. But also, unfortunately, for a lot of residential accidents, including fire damage emergencies. One such fire damage emergency in Hialeah, Florida involved a leaf blower that caught fire on the homeowner’s deck.

Most of the fire damage restoration jobs that Joe Taylor Restoration responds to involve fires that occur within the actual structure of a home or business. However, because of smoke and soot damage, fire damage most often extends past the site of the fire to the surrounding areas and even, in this scenario, into the house, though the actual fire was outside.

In this case, the panicked homeowner was not able to put the fire out immediately. Smoke, ash, soot, and the accompanying odor spread to the living and dining room, as well as a hallway inside the home. Once the fire was out, the homeowner was at a loss as to what to do about the smell and the interior damage. So, he called his insurance carrier who referred Joe Taylor Restoration’s fire damage emergency services.

He was thrilled when our technicians arrived with air scrubbers, air movers, and a hydroxyl generator to deodorize the residence. Our team got to work HEPA Vacuuming, cleaning ductwork and air handlers, as well as the affected areas including walls, doors, floors, ceilings, etc.

In the end, the homeowner was very relieved and expressed his appreciation for our thorough work. He was thrilled that his home no longer smelled like smoke, was rid of all residue, and had been restored to its original condition.

If you experience a fire damage emergency, or are in need of any water, mold, or biohazard restoration services, please do not hesitate. Contact Joe Taylor Restoration to restore your property and your joy this holiday season.
