Water Damage After a Fire: Restoration Services in Salt Lake City
Most people think about smoke and fire damage — but water damage after a fire can be just as devastating. Firefighting efforts often leave behind soaked walls, ceilings, and floors, creating a new emergency. At Vivid Water Damage & Restoration, we specialize in drying and restoring homes and businesses after both fire and water damage.
Why Fire Damage Often Leads to Water Damage
Fire departments may use thousands of gallons of water to control a blaze. This water can:
- Soak into drywall, insulation, and wood framing
- Cause ceilings or floors to collapse
- Lead to mold growth within 24–48 hours
- Damage electronics, furniture, and personal property
In some cases, sprinkler systems cause significant flooding even if the fire was small.

- Emergency Water Extraction: We remove standing water using high-powered vacuums and pumps.
- Structural Drying: We dry framing, subfloors, and other structural components before mold or rot sets in.
- Moisture Monitoring: We use infrared and moisture detection tools to ensure all affected areas are identified and tracked.
- Odor Removal: We eliminate smells caused by both smoke and stagnant water.
