We’re available whenever you need us, any time of the day and can arrive within 60 minutes.

Assess the Damage

When the fire is out and it is safe to go back to your home, we thoroughly inspect it to determine the severity of the damage. Personal protection equipment, or PPE, is sometimes required when inspecting a fire-damaged property to avoid breathing in particles of incomplete combustion, debris and other chemicals. Some fire damage is immediately visible, with burn marks and charred remains, while other forms of damage, such as fumes absorbed into pillows, sheets, and upholstery, are trickier to see but can be smelled. We evaluate the extent of the harm inflicted to the property and belongings and work with you to develop a plan of action for repairing and restoring your home back to its original, undisturbed state.

Boarding and Tarping

Broken windows as a result of a fire can expose your home’s interior to damage from the elements and even potentially trespassers. In order to protect vulnerable walls and windows from further damage, our team may board them up. If a portion of the roof is missing, we cover it with a tarp to prevent rain, snow, and other debris from entering the property.

Water Damage Removal

Looking for water damage in a fire may seem counterintuitive, but they frequently go hand in hand. For example, if the fire department used water to extinguish the flames, there would almost certainly be moisture accumulated where the firefighters used the hose. Whatsmore, fires often can expose and seriously harm the pipes throughout a home or building, causing them to leak throughout the structure. There is also the risk of mold and mildew growing if waterlogged objects are not removed and dried in a timely manner. Our experts are accustomed to mold and mildew remediation and understand how and where to approach water-damaged property to help stop the spread of pathogens.

Soot and Smoke Removal

After dealing with water damage, it is time to focus on areas of the home or property that have been affected by soot and smoke. This can spread to all surfaces in the house and seep into crevices – not just those covered in cloth or delicate fabrics. Our team uses specialized equipment to extract soot and smoke from the innermost pores of these surfaces, ensuring that no odors remain.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Up next we sanitize and clean all affected surfaces and personal belongings. This can be difficult, especially when dealing with photographs, paintings, and electronic goods. If delicate or sensitive items have been damaged by smoke or water but are still worth salvaging, we have a number of processes that can potentially restore them to pre-fire condition. This is usually accomplished through the use of fogging devices and air scrubbers.

Final Restoration

The final step in the fire restoration process is to restore or remodel the home back to its pre-fire condition. This could include removing and replacing drywall as well as placing brand new carpet or flooring. For example, if your drywall was soaked while the fire was extinguished, it might no longer be sturdy and will need to be replaced. We will inspect your home for areas that need to be rebuilt and will even manage the installation and painting for you. If the fire damage was severe, restoration could entail a total room rebuilding or more.
