Located among Nassau's inland villages, Franklin Square (11010) is a short drive from Elmont, West Hempstead and Garden City. Cooking fires and furnace problems are among the leading causes of fire damage in older suburban homes like these.
Panels and wiring installed in the post-war era were not sized for modern electronics and kitchen equipment, a factor in electrical fires here. Compact floor plans let smoke and soot reach every room quickly, so even a small kitchen fire can leave odor and residue throughout the house. Heating systems that date back years are still running in many Franklin Square basements, and puff-backs from them spread soot well beyond the utility room.
In practice, crews in Franklin Square handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
The same crews cover nearby Elmont, West Hempstead and Garden City. Crews also handle water damage in Franklin Square and mold remediation in Franklin Square.
Many items can be cleaned and restored, including furniture, clothing, and electronics in some cases. Crews sort what can be saved and document the rest.
When a heating system puffs back, fine soot spreads through ductwork and rooms, and cleaning is typically whole-house.
Crews look at the extent of fire, smoke, and water damage, discuss next steps, and document the loss for your insurance claim.
Firefighting water frequently causes significant damage, and crews address it along with smoke and soot.
Smoke residue can be irritating and sometimes harmful, which is why professional cleaning and air scrubbing are recommended.
