Fire Damage Restoration

At Viking Restoration, we understand the weight of what you’re facing. This isn’t just another job—it’s your home, your livelihood, your peace of mind.

Addressing Smoke and Soot Damage

Common Causes of Fire Damage We See in Western New York

From Faulty Wiring to Chimney Fires—We’ve Seen It All

Fire emergencies often strike without warning, and many destructive fires start from everyday activities or preventable mistakes. At Viking Restoration, we’ve helped families and businesses across Jamestown and Western New York recover from various fire events. Here’s a look at the common causes we encounter:

• Electrical Malfunctions: Faulty wiring, overloaded power strips, and malfunctioning appliances are common culprits behind electrical fires. These fires often start out of sight, spreading behind walls and ceilings until it’s too late.  
• Cooking Accidents: The leading cause of residential fires, kitchen mishaps can quickly get out of hand. Grease flare-ups, unattended pots, or oven malfunctions can ignite flames and leave serious damage in their wake.  
• Heating Equipment Failures: During Western New York’s long winters, space heaters, poorly maintained furnaces, and clogged chimneys can pose a serious fire risk. Just one misplaced heater or blocked vent can lead to disaster.  
• Smoking Indoors: Cigarettes that aren’t fully extinguished or ashtrays left too close to flammable materials like furniture or curtains remain a dangerous and avoidable source of house fires.  
• Lightning Strikes & Power Surges: Severe storms can trigger electrical surges or direct lightning strikes, sparking fires in attics, rooftops, or electrical panels.  
• Candle Fires: That cozy candlelit atmosphere can turn hazardous if candles are left burning unattended or placed too close to flammable items like curtains, books, or decorations.  
• Dryer Vent Buildup: Lint-clogged dryer vents are an often-overlooked fire hazard. The good news? Regular cleaning and maintenance can completely eliminate this risk.  
• Arson or Vandalism: While less common, intentionally set fires or vandalism can cause significant damage. We approach these cases with care, urgency, and a focus on helping you recover as quickly as possible.

Why Speed Matters in Fire Damage Restoration

Delays Can Lead to Bigger Problems

After a fire, every minute counts. While the flames may be out, the damage continues—quietly and dangerously. Smoke seeps into walls, ceilings, and ventilation systems. Soot settles into every crevice. Water from firefighting efforts soaks into flooring and drywall. Left untreated, these elements can cause permanent stains, corrosion, mold growth, and structural deterioration.

That’s why a fast response isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

At Viking Restoration, we move quickly but never carelessly. Our 24/7 team is trained to assess damage immediately, contain hazards, and start the restoration process without delay. We use professional-grade equipment to extract water, clean up soot, purify the air, and stabilize affected areas—all before hidden problems set in.

The faster you act, the more you save on cost, time, and future stress.
