WHAT IS COMMERCIAL FIRE DAMAGE RESTORATION?

Commercial fire damage restoration aims to meticulously clean all areas within a business or commercial property affected by a fire. This includes eradicating persistent smoke odors, soot, and residual water. Specialized equipment, such as air scrubbers, eliminates airborne particles and odors. At the same time, industrial fans and dehumidifiers are utilized to expedite the drying process, addressing any moisture left behind by fire suppression efforts. Taking these actions promptly after a fire can significantly reduce damage and losses.

Fires can result in extensive damage beyond what is directly burned. Smoke and the process of extinguishing the fire can cause additional harm, including:

• Ash and smoke cause ongoing damage and corrosion to materials.
• Lingering smoke and soot residue on surfaces.
• Rapid discoloration of walls, equipment, and surfaces.
• Smoke-induced etching on glass and rapid tarnishing of metal.
• Commercial fire damage varies in its extent and nature.

Our comprehensive fire restoration process includes:

• Structural integrity inspection for safety.
• Determining the fire type and source.
• Evaluation of areas suffering water damage due to fire suppression efforts.
• Remediation of water damage if present.
• Assessment of sensitive materials damaged by smoke and soot particles.
• Removal of contents from the building.
• Collection of immediate items necessary for remote business operation.
• Secure removal, storage, and cleaning of sensitive files and data storage devices.
• Salvaging of product stock, raw materials, commodities, and machinery.
• Packing out remaining contents for cleaning and storage.

Structural restoration process:

• Remove charred contents, such as insulation and burnt wood that may trap smoke.
• Assessment of carpets and floor coverings that may require removal.
• Treatment of affected surfaces for smoke odors and sealing to prevent residual odors from re-entering the building.
• Cleaning, odor elimination, and deodorizing surfaces to restore them to their pre-loss condition.
• Return items to their original locations and aid in the restoration of normal operations.

Smoke continues to harm your structure and belongings even after the fire is extinguished. Smoke particles that have adhered to or penetrated surfaces continue to alter the composition of fabrics, metals, walls, ceilings, and tile.
