Fire Damage Services
The Sooner We Start, the More We Can Save
Timing is everything after a fire. The longer soot and smoke are allowed to settle, the more permanent the damage becomes. If we can get to your property soon after the fire is extinguished, we have a much greater chance of removing soot and smoke odors without the need for tearing the property down to the studs. Not to mention, if the fire was put out with water, if the water is not taken care of in a timely manner, you might also end up with a mold issue to go with the soot and fire damaged materials.
We pride ourselves on responding quickly and getting your home or business cleaned up and ready for rebuild and restoration in a timely manner. Our goal is to minimize delays so your contractor can begin repairs as soon as possible, and you can get back to normal life faster.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Services
Every fire is different, but our experienced team follows a proven process to restore your home or business as efficiently and safely as possible:
1. Emergency Response & Inspection
Our team is available 24/7 to assess the damage and begin planning the restoration process. We carefully inspect the structure, determine the extent of damage, and identify salvageable materials and personal contents.
2. Debris Removal & Structural Stabilization
We remove charred debris and secure the structure if needed to prevent further damage. This step lays the foundation for a safe and successful restoration.
3. Soot and Smoke Cleanup
Soot and smoke particles infiltrate every surface and material. Using advanced cleaning techniques and tools, we clean walls, ceilings, fixtures, and personal belongings. Early removal improves results and reduces the likelihood of lingering odors.
4. Odor Removal and Air Purification
We use industrial-grade air scrubbers and deodorizing equipment to remove smoke odors from the air and surfaces. Our process ensures your property smells fresh and clean, not like fire or chemicals.
5. Content Cleaning and Pack-Out Services
We can clean and restore salvageable personal belongings off-site if necessary. We catalog, pack, and store your items securely while restoration work is completed.
6. Pre-Rebuild Preparation
Once your property is cleaned, deodorized, and safe, we work with your contractors or recommend trusted partners to begin the rebuilding phase.
