Securing Your Property
To prevent further damage, we secure your home by:
Boarding up broken windows and doors
Installing roof tarps to prevent water intrusion
Removing hazardous debris
Firefighters use thousands of gallons of water to put out a fire, leaving behind moisture that can cause mold growth and structural damage. Our water damage restoration team extracts standing water and uses industrial dehumidifiers to dry out your home completely.

We use specialized equipment like:
Ozone generators – Neutralize smoke odors at a molecular level.

What To Do After a Fire
Experiencing a fire can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps immediately after can help minimize damage and speed up recovery.
First, ensure everyone is safe and do not enter your home until fire officials declare it structurally sound. Contact Roto-Rooter of Delmarva for emergency fire damage restoration to begin the cleanup process and prevent further damage from soot, smoke, and water. Document the damage by taking photos and making a detailed list of lost or damaged belongings—this will be crucial for filing an insurance claim.
If possible, open windows to ventilate lingering smoke odors, but avoid touching soot-covered surfaces, as improper cleaning can make stains worse.
Lastly, notify your insurance company as soon as possible and let restoration professionals handle the fire cleanup, smoke damage removal, and structural repairs to safely restore your home.
What Not To Do After a Fire
After a fire, it’s just as important to know what not to do as it is to know the right steps to take. Do not enter your home until fire officials confirm it is safe—hidden structural damage, electrical hazards, or lingering smoke can be dangerous.
Avoid cleaning soot or smoke damage yourself, as improper techniques can cause permanent staining. Do not turn on electrical appliances that were near the fire or water damage, as they may be compromised.
Never use contaminated food or beverages, even if they seem sealed—smoke and heat can make them unsafe.
