Restoring Hope After a Fire in Desloge, Missouri: A Complete Remodel

At MRC Restoration, we understand how devastating fire damage can be to your home. Recently, we had the opportunity to help a family in Desloge, Missouri, after an accidental fire severely damaged their master bathroom and bedroom. The cause? A curious child playing with a lighter, leading to a blaze that destroyed both rooms entirely.

The Incident: A Momentary Mishap

It was a regular day when a small action led to significant consequences. The fire started in the master bathroom when a child, playing with a lighter, accidentally ignited materials, causing the flames to quickly spread. By the time the fire was contained, the damage was extensive—both the master bathroom and the adjacent bedroom were charred, with nothing left but blackened walls and ruined floors.

Assessing the Damage: A Need for Total Restoration

When we arrived at the scene, it was clear that the home needed more than just minor repairs. The drywall was completely destroyed, and the flooring in both the bathroom and bedroom had been reduced to ash and debris. In addition, the smoke had permeated the structure, leaving behind a lingering odor and health hazards that would require professional cleaning and treatment.

Our team swiftly moved into action, fully assessing the extent of the fire and smoke damage and determining that both rooms would need to be completely rebuilt. This was not just a patch-up job; it would be a full-scale remodel from the ground up.

The Restoration Process: From Ashes to a New Beginning

1. Demolition and Debris Removal
   The first step was to safely remove the charred debris and tear down the damaged drywall. This process required precision and care, ensuring that the underlying structure was sound and prepared for the new installations.
2. Smoke and Soot Removal
   Before we could begin any construction, we needed to remove the residual smoke and soot that had embedded itself into the walls and floors. Using specialized equipment, our team eliminated the stubborn odors and decontaminated the area to ensure the home would be safe and healthy for the family once they returned.
3. Drywall Installation and Flooring Replacement
   With the space cleared and treated, we started rebuilding. New drywall was carefully installed in both the bathroom and bedroom, providing a fresh canvas. The homeowners opted for upgraded flooring, choosing a durable and stylish option that would stand the test of time.
4. Complete Remodel
   As part of the restoration, we provided the family with a complete remodel, bringing both the bathroom and bedroom back to life. This included installing new fixtures, upgrading the electrical and plumbing systems, and ensuring the layout was functional and aesthetically pleasing.

A Fresh Start: Bringing the Home Back to Life

In just a few short weeks, we were able to turn a devastating situation into a positive experience for the family. The bathroom and bedroom were transformed, now featuring modern designs and high-quality materials that would not only make their home more beautiful but also more functional.

The family was overjoyed to move back into their fully restored space, grateful for the peace of mind knowing that their home was safe, beautiful, and better than before.
