Fire Damage Restoration

The "golden hours" of recovery are the first 24 to 48 hours following a fire. An effective emergency response that quickly stabilizes the facility ensures the recovery of as much property as possible.

The acidic soot and smoke damage that is often produced when fires are extinguished accelerate the deterioration and corrosion of building components and vital assets. To compound the problem, fires are most frequently extinguished with dry chemicals or water. Plus, the toxic smoke odor left behind must be neutralized and deodorized.

Fire Damage Restoration Process

Assessment of Property Damage

The first step in the fire damage restoration process is assessing the property damage. This will help determine the extent of the damage and what needs to be done to restore the property. The next step is to remove any damaged or charred materials. This may include removing drywall, insulation, flooring, and ceiling tiles.

Preservation of Any Salvageable Items After the Fire

Once all the damaged materials have been removed, the next step is to preserve any salvageable items. This will help remove any soot or smoke residue that may be present. Once this step is done, you can go ahead with the clean-up. This usually starts with a thorough cleaning, followed by repairing and replacing damaged items. The goal is to get your home or business back to its pre-fire condition as quickly as possible.

Many repairs may need to be made depending on how bad of a fire you experienced. The professionals should remove all potentially damaged items from your home or business and put them in a safe place for repair or disposal.

Property fires are among the most dangerous and damaging natural disasters. There are several things that can start a fire including candles, stoves with open flames, gas leaks, and fireplaces.
