Fire Damage Restoration Process
When a fire first occurs intuition takes over: call emergency services, find some way to put out the fire, keep the family safe, extinguish the fire. The responses in these moments come almost immediately. But when the fire is extinguished and the emergency vehicles roll away, what's left is a lot of unknowns — what's next?
After a fire your property is smothered in soot, smoke damage is all around, burned material is everywhere the head turns and the water damage from the fire fighting efforts has left your property a mess. In these moments our team is here to help and transform your property back to how is was, as our motto says, "Like it never even happened."
Below we've outlined the restoration process to help you understand how your property transitions from ravaged to renewed.
Have Questions About Fire, Smoke, or Soot Damage? Call Today – (954) 384-6653
Every fire damage event is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.
Step 1: Emergency Contact
The restoration process begins when you call us. Our representative will ask questions regarding the fire damage event that will help us respond immediately with the appropriate equipment and resources.
Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment
We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.
Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service
Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.
Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)
The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.
Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces
We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces.
Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing
We clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
Step 7: Restoration
Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
