Understanding the Causes of Structural Fire Damage

A fire doesn’t have to level a building to cause structural damage. Extreme heat can damage framing, deform steel, and weaken load-bearing materials. Sometimes, the signs aren’t visible right away, even though the risks remain.

At Panhandle, our fire damage restoration focuses on identifying and correcting damage before it worsens. We work on various properties, including residential homes, apartments, barns, commercial buildings, workshops, and more. No matter the building type, we treat the job with urgency and care.

How is Structural Damage Restoration After a Fire Different?

Structural fire damage restoration focuses on the parts of the building that keep it standing. While general fire damage restoration removes soot and odor, structural damage restoration tackles damaged framing, beams, joists, and other load-bearing components.

This requires deeper inspection, skilled restoration, and a focus on long-term safety. We restore the structure so the rest of the property can be rebuilt on solid ground.
