A house fire is one of the most devastating events a homeowner can experience. Even small fires leave behind smoke damage, harmful residues, and structural issues that make a home unsafe to return to. In Vancouver, where many homes have older electrical systems and dense neighbourhood layouts, professional fire restoration is essential for safety and long-term protection.
Aftermath Contracting provides reliable, expert fire damage restoration that helps homeowners rebuild quickly, safely, and with confidence.
Understanding the Real Impact of Fire Damage
Fire damage isn’t just charred walls or burnt belongings. It affects your home in ways that require trained specialists:
1. Smoke & Soot Travel Everywhere
Smoke particles spread rapidly through ventilation systems, cracks, and fabrics—even reaching rooms untouched by flames.
Soot can permanently stain surfaces within hours if not treated correctly.
**2. Toxic Residue
After a fire, a home can contain:
Carcinogenic soot
Burn residue
Chemical film from melted plastics
Lingering smoke toxins
These hazards make DIY cleanup dangerous.
3. Structural Weakness
Even if damage looks minimal, heat can warp beams, weaken drywall, and compromise electrical wiring.
Only professionals can assess which areas are safe and which need repairs.
4. Strong Odors That Don’t Go Away Alone
Smoke odors settle deep into walls, insulation, and flooring. Standard cleaning products won’t remove them.
