Many of our past clients will tell you that we’ve left their homes looking better than they ever did before the damage. While every fire remediation job is a little different, our process follows these general steps:

Dispatch. The first step is to get the right people and equipment on site as soon as possible. When you call our 24 hour phone line, our dispatcher will work with you to determine the extent and type of fire damage. If you need offsite contents storage and restoration, smoke and soot removal, or water damage restoration from firefighting efforts, we’ll make sure the right specialists are there to handle it.
On-site damage assessment. Our specialists will examine the damaged area to determine the full extent of the damage. Soot damage can often spread to other rooms, while fire damage can extend into your home’s frame and foundation. Carefully documenting the damage will help us avoid any surprises later and provide you with an accurate price estimate and restoration timeline.
Isolating the damage. Fire damage can often damage walls, roofs, windows, electrical systems and other structural elements of your home, leaving damage that can physically harm you. If the fire was extinguished with water, there may also be pooling or standing water. During this step, we board up, tarp off, and otherwise isolate any areas that may still be hazardous.
Water Extraction. The longer that water remains stagnant, the more damage it can do. If any water was used to fight your fire, we will extract it, dry the space with industrial dehumidifiers, and test the area to ensure that no water has seeped into your structure.
Smoke and soot remediation. Depending on what was damaged in the fire, the soot and smoke left behind can be hazardous to your breathing. We use ozone, air scrubbers, and fogging equipment to clear smoke and soot particles out of the air, while also performing surface treatments on your ceiling, walls, and floor.
Sanitation & Contents. Restoration Our team can sanitize and restore your belongings either on-site or at our facilities. Typically, we will pack out your contents if the area requires significant reconstruction, or if the damage to your belongings themselves is significant.
Reconstruction and structural restoration. The last step in the fire remediation process is to rebuild the most damaged parts of your home. Since we are also a general contractor, our team is fully equipped to handle extensive reconstruction and remodeling.
