Our Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Process
Damage Assessment and Safety Check
After a fire, safety is our first priority. Our team conducts a comprehensive assessment of your property to identify structural vulnerabilities, areas affected by soot, and items that need to be removed or cleaned. This assessment helps us create a customized restoration plan to meet your unique needs.
Soot and Debris Removal
Fire leaves behind hazardous soot and ash that can damage surfaces and harm indoor air quality. Our team carefully removes soot and debris from all affected areas, including walls, ceilings, and surfaces. Specialized equipment and techniques allow us to clean even hard-to-reach places, preventing further damage and contamination.
Odor Control and Air Quality
Smoke odors can linger long after the fire is extinguished. We use advanced odor-neutralizing techniques and equipment, such as air scrubbers and thermal fogging, to effectively eliminate smoke odors from your property. Our process also improves air quality, making your home or business safe to re-enter.
Structural Cleaning and Repairs
Fire and smoke can impact the structural integrity of your property. We assess and clean structural elements, including walls, floors, and ceilings, to restore stability. Where repairs are needed, we provide reliable restoration solutions to bring your property back to a secure and livable state.
Content Cleaning and Restoration
Personal belongings affected by fire or smoke damage may be salvaged with careful cleaning and restoration. Our team evaluates each item to determine the best course of action, using specialized cleaning techniques to restore what we can. If needed, we also provide secure offsite storage for items during the restoration process.
