What Is Fire Damage Restoration?
Fire damage restoration is the multi-step process of cleaning, repairing, and rebuilding a property after a fire — including soot removal, smoke odor elimination, water damage cleanup from firefighting, and structural repairs.
Restoration 1 provides complete fire damage restoration through every phase, from initial assessment to final reconstruction.
Common Types of Fire and Smoke Damage
Even small fires can spread damage far beyond what's visible. Restoration 1 handles every type:
- Smoke Damage — penetrates drywall, furniture, and carpets; odors can linger for months
- Soot Residue — fine particles that stain surfaces and corrode metal
- Water Damage — from firefighting efforts, often hidden in walls and floors
- Structural Damage — weakened framing, charred materials, compromised integrity
- Odor Damage — embedded smoke smells requiring specialized deodorization
