Quick answer
Fire damage repair in St. Clair Shores means working in a dense lakeside city of about 58,000 residents, with homes close together on small lots. Smoke from one house often reaches the next, and basements take firefighting water, so we secure the house, dry the basement, clean every room smoke reached and check neighboring homes when asked.
What fire jobs look like in St. Clair Shores
St. Clair Shores runs along the shore of Lake St. Clair just north of the Grosse Pointes, with residential streets of brick ranches, bungalows and colonials on narrow lots, plus apartments and condos near the lake.
Kitchen fires, electrical fires and space heater fires are common causes. Because houses sit close together, smoke from a house fire can drift into neighboring homes through open windows, vents and attic openings, and we are often called by the neighbors as well as the owner.
St. Clair Shores housing and what it means after a fire
St. Clair Shores had about 58,140 residents on 11.7 square miles in the latest Census estimates, close to 5,000 people per square mile, and more than 28,000 housing units at the 2010 Census. That density shapes a fire job.
We check the side walls and attic vents of neighboring homes when smoke drifted, dry basements early, and protect closely spaced properties during board-up and debris removal. In older homes, we also check plaster walls and wiring before any tear-out.
