Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Emergency Securing & Assessment: We respond immediately to secure your property with board-up services and tarping to prevent further damage. Our technicians assess the extent of fire, smoke, and water damage throughout the structure.
Smoke & Soot Removal: Using specialized equipment and techniques, we remove smoke and soot from all surfaces. We use dry cleaning methods for light residues and wet cleaning for heavier deposits.
Odor Elimination: Smoke odors can penetrate deep into porous materials. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to eliminate odors at the molecular level.
Content Cleaning & Restoration: We clean and restore salvageable personal belongings, electronics, furniture, and documents using ultrasonic cleaning, specialized solvents, and ozone chambers.
Structural Cleaning & Repairs: From HVAC cleaning to replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and roofing materials, we handle all aspects of restoration. We also coordinate with contractors to ensure seamless reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire damage restoration should begin immediately, ideally within the first 24-48 hours. Soot and smoke residues become more difficult to remove over time, and acidic byproducts can cause permanent staining and corrosion. Immediate action also prevents secondary damage from weather exposure and helps reduce overall restoration costs.
Many items affected by smoke can be fully restored using specialized cleaning techniques. Success depends on the type of fire, duration of exposure, and materials involved. Porous items like clothing and upholstery respond well to ozone treatment, while electronics may require ultrasonic cleaning. We evaluate each item individually and provide honest assessments about restoration possibilities.
Most homeowners’ insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage for fire damage, including structural repairs, contents replacement, and additional living expenses. Coverage typically includes smoke damage, water damage from firefighting efforts, and temporary housing costs. We work directly with insurance companies to ensure all covered damages are properly documented and claimed.
The timeline varies significantly based on the extent of damage. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in 3-5 days, while major structural fires can take several months to fully restore. Factors affecting the timeline include the size of the affected area, the extent of structural damage, the contents restoration needs, and the reconstruction requirements. We provide realistic timelines during our initial assessment.
Safety depends on the extent of damage and the types of materials burned. Even small fires can create unsafe air quality due to toxic residues and compromised structural elements. We conduct thorough safety assessments and air quality testing to determine habitability. If the property is unsafe, we can coordinate temporary housing through your insurance coverage.
Fire damage restoration addresses areas directly affected by flames, including structural repairs and replacement of burned materials. Smoke damage restoration focuses on cleaning soot residues, eliminating odors, and restoring items affected by smoke without flame contact. Smoke damage often extends far beyond the fire’s origin and requires specialized cleaning techniques throughout the entire property.
Permanent odor elimination requires addressing the source of odors at the molecular level. We use multiple approaches, including thermal fogging to penetrate porous materials, ozone treatment to break down odor molecules, and hydroxyl generators for ongoing odor control. Surface cleaning alone won’t eliminate embedded odors – proper deodorization requires professional equipment and techniques to achieve lasting results.
Health and Safety Protocols
Fire scenes present multiple health hazards, including asbestos, lead paint, and toxic smoke residues. Our certified technicians use proper PPE and follow OSHA guidelines to ensure safe restoration practices. We test for hazardous materials when necessary and coordinate with environmental specialists.
