We assess and repair all visible and hidden fire damage, including structural repairs and rebuilding services. Our team works efficiently to restore your property quickly and safely, returning it to its pre-loss conditions.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke can penetrate walls, furniture, and other surfaces, leaving lingering odors and stains. Our advanced cleaning techniques remove smoke residues and odors, ensuring your property is fresh and clean.

Health & Safety Risks Associated with a Fire-Damaged Property
Structural Damage and Collapse
Fire can compromise the structural integrity of your property, increasing the risk of collapse. Our thorough inspections identify and address these hazards to ensure your property is safe and stable.
Exposure to Toxic Smoke and Gases
Smoke from fires contains harmful chemicals that can linger in the air and on surfaces. Prolonged exposure can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. Our cleaning process eliminates these toxins.
Soot and Ash Contamination
Soot and ash can settle on every surface, damaging property and posing health risks. We meticulously clean and remove these contaminants to restore your property.
Chemical Exposure
During a fire, hazardous chemicals may be released from burning materials. Our team safely removes these substances to protect your health and the environment.
Electrical Hazards
Fire-damaged electrical systems can pose a risk of shock or fire. Our professionals assess and repair electrical components to ensure your property is safe.
Water Damage and Mold Growth
Standing water and moisture from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth. We use state-of-the-art equipment to dry and dehumidify affected areas, preventing mold issues.
Asbestos Exposure
Older properties may contain asbestos, which can become airborne during a fire. We safely manage and remove asbestos-containing materials to protect your health.
Physical Injury from Debris
Fire-damaged properties often contain sharp debris and unstable structures. Our team carefully removes debris to create a safe environment for restoration work.
Reduced Air Quality
Fires release particles that degrade indoor air quality. We use specialized air filtration systems to restore clean, breathable air to your property.
What is the Fire Damage Restoration Process?
1. Inspection & Assessment
Our comprehensive inspection identifies all areas affected by fire, smoke, and water and the extent of the damage. We develop a detailed restoration plan tailored to your property’s unique needs. Part of the assessment involves determining the items to be discarded and what to keep.
2. Removal of Debris, Chemicals, and Water
We remove all fire-related debris, hazardous chemicals, and standing water to prepare your property for restoration. Our main aim at this stage is to stem further damage caused by corrosion and mold. To this end, we tarp, board up, seal the affected area and roof, and establish a perimeter.
Thereafter, we tackle the water flooding issue by extracting water and removing moisture that is lingering in the house. We follow this by demolishing and removing damaged drywall, flooring, and other materials.
This step enhances the security of the property and ensures you and our team can walk into and work in a safe and clean environment.
3. Cleaning and Deodorization
Using advanced techniques and equipment, we clean and deodorize all affected surfaces to eliminate smoke odors and residues, restoring a fresh environment.
Depending on the extent of smoke penetration, we deploy soot sponges, thermal foggers, air movers, dehumidifiers, and odor small wash cleaners to deodorize your home of any smoke odor.
4. Structural Repairs
We repair structural damage, including rebuilding walls, ceilings, and floors, to restore your property’s integrity and appearance to its pre-loss status. If any part is unsalvageable and, therefore, demolished in the previous stage, we rebuild it completely. Our structural repairs may involve rebuilding and replacing the roof, ceiling, and drywall, as well as replacing electrical wiring, fixtures, and flooring materials.
5. Restoring Salvageable Belongings
Our experts carefully clean and restore salvageable personal belongings, helping to preserve your valuable possessions whenever possible. Fire, smoke, and water-damaged furniture, rugs, machinery, and electronics are inspected, and where possible, they’re repaired to their pre-damaged condition. Our team of experts can help you inspect your belongings and determine salvageable goods.
Is Fire Damage Restoration Covered By Insurance?
In many cases, homeowners’ insurance policies cover fire damage restoration. While the extent of damage the policy covers will vary, a typical policy will cover debris removal, temporary living expenses, structural repairs, and personal property.
We work directly with your insurance provider to streamline the claims process, ensuring you receive the coverage you’re entitled to. Our experienced team provides detailed documentation and assists with every step of the claims process so you can focus on getting back to normalcy.
How Long Does Fire Damage Restoration Take?
Given that every fire damage scenario is unique, there are no standard timeframes. The duration of the restoration process varies based on your property size and the proportion of the property that sustained damage. Minor restoration projects typically take a few days. On the other hand, more extensive damage can require several weeks or longer.
Our team works diligently to restore your property quickly and efficiently without compromising quality.
