Fire and Smoke Restoration

Few events parallel the destruction caused by fire, smoke and soot. When it does however, many services, processes and techniques need to occur to restore a property back to preloss condition. Fire and smoke damage can be devastating, and requires more service and expertise than an ordinary contractor or house cleaner can provide.

The Main Steps of Restoring Your Property After Fire And Smoke Damage

Assessment. The first step in the process, assuming you have already called for emergency service, is the assessment. Upon arrival, the team will assess and inspect the entire premises. They need to know the true extent of the damage. In doing so, they can make a clear plan on how best to move forward.

Removal of Fire, Water, and Smoke Damaged Materials. Make sure all wet materials are removed. The last thing you want to have to deal with is mold damage after the fire.

Your Belongings. Your washing machine will not get the soot and smoke damage off your clothes. Every single item in your closet and drawers needs to be laundered. All your furniture will need to be cleaned. Even your electronics will have soot and ash caked inside. Fires do a lot of damage. Professional Restoration Crews will do all the packing and take a careful inventory of every item… They will not return the items until the restoration to the home is completed.

Restoration. Lastly, the team will repair, replace, and restore any damaged components around the house. They will work quickly and efficiently to restore furniture, cabinets, carpet, and wallpaper, and will even paint where necessary.
