Fire Damage

If you have experienced a fire damage it is very important that you exercise extreme caution.

Your local fire department will have notified you as to whether it is safe for you to enter the property. Please heed their advice because there are many potential safety and health hazards.

A fire damage is as much of an emergency as a water damage. Emergency cleaning services to remove soot and contain odors need to begin immediately due to the potential safety and health hazards they pose to occupants and workers.

Soot may be light and dry or greasy and sticky. The longer it remains in place, the more difficult it is to remove. Soot is acidic and can etch into furniture, and appliance finishes, metals, bathroom fixtures, countertops, and glass in a matter of hours.

An immediate result of the fire and soot, odors will continue to spread throughout the property, penetrating carpet, upholstery, clothing, linens, dry goods and other porous materials more deeply with time.

The following are the normal steps in dealing with a fire damage restoration:

1. Protection - taking steps to protect the health and safety of all occupants and protecting structure and contents from further damage.
2. Extraction - removal of water using state of the art equipment specifically designed to handle large quantities of water/sewage.
3. Deodorization - removal, destruction, or modification of undesirable odors generated by the fire and its residues.
4. Cleaning - removal of soot and any additional residues
5. Structural repairs - recovery, repair, and rebuilding, reconstruction or replacement services to return your property to pre-loss condition once the emergency services are completed
