What to Do If You Experience Fire Damage in Kanagawa Prefecture?
We will explain the response and measures to take from the occurrence of the fire to resolution in order.
1. If You Notice a Fire
2. Undergo an Investigation by the Fire Department After the Fire is Extinguished
3. Apply for the Issuance of a Disaster Certificate at the Fire Station
4. Confirm Administrative Procedures and Lifelines
5. Contact Your Insurance Company
6. Request an Estimate for Repairs of Damaged Areas
The above six points outline the flow from the occurrence of the fire to resolution!
We will explain in detail below!
1. If You Notice a Fire
The first actions to take when a fire occurs or is discovered nearby are “Notify, Report, and Extinguish”, which are referred to as the “Three Principles of Initial Response”.
●Notify
Shout loudly or use the emergency bell to inform neighbors and family of the fire outbreak.
●Report
Call 119 and inform the fire department of the location and situation.
●Initial Firefighting and Evacuation
Ensure safety before attempting to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher or water. If the fire has reached the ceiling or is strong, do not take risks and evacuate.
When evacuating, keep a low posture and cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or cloth to avoid inhaling smoke!
Once you escape, do not return, and use the stairs instead of the elevator for evacuation.
2.Undergo Fire Cause Investigation by the Fire Department After Extinguishing the Fire
You will undergo a “fire investigation” as stipulated by the Fire Service Act.
Fire department fire investigators will conduct “fire cause investigation” and “fire damage investigation.”
They will investigate the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage from the burned remains.
3.Complete Procedures for Issuing Disaster Certificates at the Fire Department
A disaster certificate is a document that certifies the extent of damage caused by the fire.
In principle, applications must be made within 6 months of the disaster date, but it is advisable to complete the issuance process early as it is necessary for applying for assistance funds and fire insurance.
Disaster certificates for heavy rain or wind damage are issued at the municipal office of each city or town, but the issuance procedures for fire disaster certificates are handled by the fire department.
You will complete the issuance procedures at the fire department in your city or ward.
If you live in Atsugi City, it will be at the Atsugi Fire Department, and if you live in Yokohama City, it will be at the fire department of your respective ward, such as Aoba-ku or Midori-ku.
For more details, it is advisable to contact your nearest fire department, as they can provide you with detailed information.
4.Administrative Procedures and Checking Lifelines
There is a possibility to apply for disaster relief funds and property tax exemptions at the municipal offices of each city and town.
For more details, please contact the municipal office in your area.
Depending on the extent of the damage, there may also be financial assistance available for building demolition and waste disposal costs, so be sure to check.
If necessary, please also consider stopping utilities such as electricity and gas.
5. Contacting Your Insurance Company
Contact your fire insurance company to request an investigation and report the damage situation.
Your insurance company will explain the necessary steps once you reach out to them.
If the insurance company instructs you to obtain repair estimates, you will need to find contractors and request estimates.
Send the estimates from the contractors using the method specified by the fire insurance company, and the insurance company will calculate the damage amount.
After the insurance amount is calculated, confirm the amount before requesting the contractor to proceed with the work.
6. Requesting Repair Estimates for Fire-Damaged Areas
If repairs are to be made depending on the situation, you will need to request estimates from contractors yourself.
You are not limited to one estimate; it is possible to obtain estimates from multiple companies.
To avoid mistakes, we recommend obtaining at least three estimates.
We will also introduce points on how to choose a contractor below!
【Kanagawa Prefecture】How to Choose a Repair Contractor After a Fire Incident
Experiencing fire damage is quite rare, and there are many remodeling and repair contractors that cover Kanagawa Prefecture, so you may find it challenging to choose a contractor.
Below, we will introduce points to consider when selecting a contractor after experiencing fire damage in Kanagawa Prefecture!
1. Extensive experience in handling fire damage
2. Extensive experience in repairs and remodeling
3. Confirm the availability of warranties and after-sales maintenance
4. Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least three)
5. Confirm whether the company conducts repairs and renovations in-house
By confirming the above 5 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.
1. Extensive experience in handling fire damage
If you rely on a contractor with little experience in repairing and renovating fire damage, it may lead to troubles like the following:
“Due to lack of knowledge and experience, you won’t receive optimal advice on future processes”
“Estimates are not detailed enough, resulting in denial of approval from the fire insurance company”
“Renovations unrelated to fire damage are included, leading to out-of-pocket expenses for construction costs”
If the contractor lacks knowledge or experience, it may not proceed smoothly, or you may incur many out-of-pocket expenses, leading to troubles.
Let’s check their track record and ask about their experience in fire repairs!
2. Extensive experience in repairs and renovations
Repair contractors often have websites where they showcase their construction achievements.
Additionally, if they provide detailed explanations of the repair work with photos, it gives you peace of mind as a reference when you actually request repairs.
If you are concerned about whether the contractor you are about to hire will respond adequately, choose a contractor with extensive repair experience.
It is also effective to look at roof repair contractors using reviews from Google and review sites as references!
If there are many negative reviews or no reviews at all, it may be wise to refrain from hiring them.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in exterior repairs and has extensive experience in repairs and renovations due to fire damage.
Of course, we can also handle repairs for interior damage!
If we can hear about your concerns and wishes, we believe we can make the best proposals for you.
3. Confirm the presence of warranties and aftercare services
When choosing a repair contractor, be sure to check for warranties.
If the contractor offers a warranty period, repairs may be done for free within that period.
The warranty period varies by contractor and type of work, but it is generally set between 1 to 10 years.
Emergency repairs or partial fixes often do not come with a warranty.
Additionally, some contractors offer after-service separate from warranties, so make sure to check if the contractor you are considering has warranties and after-service.
Changes or damages in high places of the building may not be noticeable to customers themselves.
It is important to conduct inspections of these hidden areas during after maintenance to detect any issues early.
At Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., most of our work, including roof construction, exterior painting, and rain gutter replacement, comes with a warranty.
As part of our after maintenance, we send out annual direct mail,
allowing for inspections every year.
https://kakerukoumuten.com/kakerukoumuten-h/
4. Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (at least 3)
When requesting repairs for fire damage, be sure to get estimates from multiple contractors.
Even for the same repair, costs and warranties or after-services can vary between contractors.
Additionally, by asking detailed questions about the repair work needed for the fire-damaged areas to several companies, you can identify each contractor’s strengths and weaknesses.
By inquiring about the workflow until project completion, the details of the work, and fire insurance, it will be easier to determine if you can trust them.
To ensure you have no regrets about your repair work, obtaining estimates from multiple contractors is essential.
5.Confirm whether they perform repair work in-house
Fire damage can occur in various areas such as “interior,” “exterior,” “air conditioning,” and “water heaters.”
A wide range of knowledge and experience with fire insurance is also necessary.
If a contractor completely outsources the repair work, they may lack the necessary knowledge and experience, leading to potential issues where the repair details change after the construction begins.
If the construction details change after the fire insurance claim amount is confirmed, it can lead to additional efforts and stress for the customer due to the need for reapplication.
Additionally, if the contractor investigates and then requests a subcontractor, it can incur extra time and costs, resulting in a higher personal burden for the customer.
By having the knowledge and experience to conduct the work in-house, we can provide responsible repair work at a reduced cost.
Moreover, one disadvantage of contractors that fully outsource is that their response to emergencies or issues after construction tends to be delayed.
Reasons Kakeru Koumuten is Chosen for Fire Damage Repairs in Kanagawa Prefecture
Regarding why our company is entrusted with fire damage repairs by customers in Kanagawa Prefecture,
one reason is that “Kakeru Koumuten is based in Kanagawa Prefecture”,
“Our unique approach to repair work that cannot be imitated by other companies”
has also received high praise from many customers.
We have absolute confidence in “cost,” “quality,” and “plans” for repair work and renovations in Kanagawa Prefecture, so we would appreciate it if you could compare our estimates with those of other companies.
Because we are confident, we welcome estimates from any number of companies!
1.Specialized Equipment for Exterior Renovations
Kakeru Koumuten has organized the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide low-cost, high-quality repair work and exterior renovations.
We have established five bases centered around Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture for our material storage and showroom.
In-house Ownership of Scaffolding Materials


We own the scaffolding materials necessary for exterior construction and can assemble the scaffolding ourselves.
By performing scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can also cut costs on scaffolding work.
In cases where scaffolding is urgently needed due to damage, we can respond quickly!
We have scaffolding materials for approximately 50 single-family homes!
Storage of materials in our large in-house warehouse

We store materials such as paints and repair materials.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we canprocure materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, we always have stock available, allowing us torespond quickly in emergencies!
Separation and transportation of waste materials in-house
In exterior renovations, various waste materials such as paint, wood, and metal are generated.
Most contractors dispose of them all together, but by sorting and recycling waste materials, significant cost reductions on waste disposal can be achieved.
Exterior Renovation Dedicated Showroom


In our showroom, not only can you have meetings, but you can also
directly check the actual exterior materials and colors.
You can also perform color simulations for exterior painting and check heat insulation properties using a heat insulation testing machine!
2.Complete In-House Construction
One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is complete in-house construction.
From inquiry to project completion, everything is handled by Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. This allows us to keep costs down while providing high-quality exterior renovations.
Additionally, one representative will assist you from the estimate to the completion of the work.
Since the same person will handle everything, including sales and construction management, smooth communication is possible.
We can provide consistent in-house construction from temporary scaffolding installation to exterior wall painting and roof renovations!
3. Various Permits Obtained & Skilled Workers on Staff


We have obtained construction industry permits and permits for industrial waste collection and transportation!
We also have nationally certified sheet metal workers and painting specialists on staff, and we are confident in our construction techniques.
4. Warranty and Aftercare
Exterior renovations and interior repairs come with a warranty!
Aftercare is available annually, and we send out notification DM each year.
If you have questions about the warranty, please click on the image above!
5. Flexible and Prompt Response
Our company is equipped to handle various troubles and situations.
Even if you cannot access the roof at high places, we can respond using a drone!
During leak investigations, we can also conduct surveys using a thermal imaging camera.
We will respond according to your wishes.
We also accept emergency measures for leaks caused by fire damage!
6. Human Resource Development
We create various models to improve our skills and conduct practical training.
Since exterior repair work requires various processing and construction methods depending on the site, we regularly provide skill enhancement training to ensure that each staff member can respond appropriately.

Parts Prone to Fire Damage and Points to Note
We will introduce the areas that are prone to damage from fires and points to be aware of!
The damage areas differ depending on whether the fire starts from inside or outside the building!
For more details, please contact us!
Fire Damage to Exterior Walls and Repair Methods
Mortar and Concrete Exterior Walls
Damage such as cracking, discoloration, and shrinkage or peeling of the paint film may occur.
In cases of fire starting from inside, there may be instances where the exterior wall peels off.
Repair methods will involve plaster repairs with repair mortar and pattern repairs (skin matching) along with color matching painting, depending on the extent of the damage.
Metal Exterior Walls
Damage such as discoloration and deformation may occur.
Even if the exterior appearance only shows discoloration, there may be damage to the internal wooden parts and insulation of the metal siding, so caution is necessary.
In the case of metal siding, partial replacement may be difficult, and extensive replacement or detachment may be required, so caution is necessary.
There may also be cases where the exterior wall material is no longer in production, so caution is necessary.
Cement Board Siding Exterior Walls
Cracks, discoloration, and deformation can occur.
There are cases where damage can also affect the internal wooden parts and waterproof sheets, so caution is necessary.
Repairs are generally difficult, so replacement will be required.
Be cautious as existing siding is often discontinued.
Fire Damage to Roofs and Repair Methods
Cracks, discoloration, and deformation can occur.
Roof materials themselves (tiles, slate, etc.) are relatively resistant to damage, but internal wooden parts, eaves, and roof materials can be affected.
Depending on the intensity of the fire, roof materials can also become severely damaged.
Roof materials with metal and insulation may also suffer damage to the internal insulation.
Depending on the roof material and situation, repairs often involve replacement or partial re-roofing.
Fire Damage to Windows and Glass and Repair Methods
This area is quite susceptible to damage.
Damage can include broken glass, melting of the resin parts of rails and shutter boxes, torn screens, deformation, and discoloration.
Some cases can be resolved with partial replacement, while others may require complete replacement.
Depending on the age, even if partial replacement is planned, there may be cases where parts are discontinued, necessitating full replacement.
In cases of full replacement, repairs or replacement of interior wallpaper, wooden frames, and exterior wall cladding around the windows will be necessary.
Fire Damage to Air Conditioners and Water Heaters and Repair Methods
Air Conditioner
This area is quite susceptible to damage.
The outdoor unit and slim duct (protective cover) are made of resin and can melt due to heat.
Generally, complete replacement will be required.
Water Heater
The piping related to the water heater can melt or deform.
The water heater itself can also become charred or deformed.
If there is damage to the main unit of the water heater, complete replacement will generally be necessary.
Fire Damage to Rain Gutters and Piping and Repair Methods
Rain Gutter
This area is quite susceptible to damage.
Melting and deformation can occur.
Partial replacement will be carried out only for the damaged areas.
Be cautious as there are often cases where the eaves and fascia boards are also damaged!
Piping
This mainly concerns the sewage piping.
Melting and deformation can occur.
There may be cases where deformation extends into the exterior wall, necessitating the removal of toilets or flooring.
It is essential to thoroughly check the extent of the damage before starting construction.
Fire Damage to Fences and Carports and Repair Methods
Fence
Damage such as deformation and melting of resin parts like joints may occur.
In the case of partial damage, only the affected areas will be replaced.
If the existing fence has been discontinued, all connected sections will be replaced.
Carport
Damage such as deformation and melting of polycarbonate panels may occur.
If only the panels are damaged, the panels will be replaced.
Fire Damage to Cap and Repair Methods
Discoloration and deformation of aluminum caps, as well as melting of resin parts at corners, may occur.
Replacement may be partial for the damaged areas or complete.
It is also necessary to confirm as there is a possibility that production has been discontinued!
Fire Damage Inside and Repair Methods
Visible damage such as burns, discoloration, and deformation of wallpaper and flooring may occur.
It is necessary to thoroughly investigate not only the finishing materials like wallpaper but also the underlying structures like rafters before proceeding with the work.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fire Damage Repairs
If the exterior repair work is the only service, you do not need to be home. For interior work, such as air conditioning or water heater replacement, you will need to be present as we will need to enter the interior.
If the damage was caused by fire, it may be covered depending on the contract terms. Damage unrelated to the fire, as well as deterioration or aging, is generally not covered. The final scope of coverage will be determined by the insurance company. You can confirm the insurance payout before the construction starts, so please rest assured.
Both exterior and interior work generally comes with a warranty. The warranty period and details vary depending on the type of work.
Our payment methods are limited to three options: “bank transfer,” “collection,” and “loan.” The payment timing is generally after the completion of the work, and we do not require any advance or interim payments.
When narrowing down to fire damage, there are about 10 to 15 cases annually. For exterior renovations and interior construction, we have approximately 500 to 600 cases annually in Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo. [/qa-box01]
Yes. We can accommodate that. Many customers also choose to carry out exterior and interior renovations simultaneously with fire damage repairs.
We conduct thorough investigations during the estimation process, so there are rarely any additional costs after the construction begins. If there is a risk of additional costs arising, we will explain this during the estimation.
We cannot act as an agent for applications. However, we will provide full support and explanation of the procedures.
Depending on the damage situation and the nature of the work, parking may not be possible. We will arrange for a nearby monthly parking contract as needed.
Basically, we can handle all types of construction related to buildings.
We welcome multiple estimates from other companies. Please feel free to compare with others.
Depending on the nature of the work, it generally takes about two weeks. If there are custom-made items like sashes, the delivery time for materials may take longer, possibly extending to four to five weeks. If you are in a hurry, we will adjust to the shortest possible timeline, so please consult with us.
We will take responsibility for notifying neighbors and residents of apartments or condominiums about the construction.
