The damage continues after the fire is out
Acidic soot etches and stains surfaces, and smoke odor works deep into materials in the hours after a fire. That's why the restoration process starts with securing and cleaning fast, before the damage sets in permanently.
The step-by-step process
- Emergency board-up & tarping — secure the property from weather and intruders
- Assessment & documentation — for your insurance claim
- Water removal — from firefighting efforts, to prevent mold
- Soot & smoke cleanup — the right method for each surface
- Odor removal — thermal fogging and hydroxyl/ozone treatment at the source
- Reconstruction — drywall, flooring, paint, and finish
One team, start to finish
We take a fire loss from the first emergency call all the way through the rebuild — see fire & smoke damage restoration — and coordinate the whole insurance claim so you can focus on your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can smoke smell really be removed?
Yes — with thermal fogging and hydroxyl/ozone treatment we neutralize odor at the source. Masking sprays alone don't work.
How soon should cleanup start?
As fast as possible — acidic soot causes ongoing damage, so quick professional cleanup saves more of your home and belongings.
