Burned Upstairs, Flooded Downstairs: Fire And Water Damage Restoration in Arcade, GA

Why Fire Damage Usually Comes With Water Damage
A second-floor bedroom fire is a common example. Firefighters knock it down in minutes, but hundreds of gallons of water run through the floor and into the living room below. The next day, the lower ceiling sags, the carpet squishes, and drywall is wicking water up the walls.
Firefighting water is contaminated. It carries soot, ash and debris, so it is usually treated as Category 2 or 3 water. With mold possible in 24 to 48 hours, drying cannot wait. A contractor who handles both damages extracts water and dries the structure first, then cleans soot once surfaces are dry enough to clean properly.
Drying is measured, not guessed. Contractors take daily readings with pin and pinless moisture meters, compare them to a dry reference in an unaffected room, and adjust air movers and dehumidifiers until materials reach that target. Those drying logs also go into your claim file, showing the adjuster how long each room took to dry.

Our fire was upstairs, and the water wrecked the rooms below. They had dehumidifiers running the same night, and they showed us daily moisture readings until it was dry.
The sprinklers stopped our office fire but flooded two suites. They dried the walls first and then did the soot cleanup.
My biggest worry was mold, and there was none. They cut the drywall above the water line and dried everything out.

Yes, it usually carries soot, ash and debris, so it is generally treated as Category 2 or 3 water.
Should fire or water damage be handled first?
