CERTIFICATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS
When Should You Call a Fire Damage Restoration Company?
1. Immediately After the Fire Is Extinguished
The damage doesn’t end when the flames go out. Smoke, soot, and water left behind begin causing secondary damage almost instantly. Calling a restoration company right away ensures that cleanup starts quickly, minimizing the risk of permanent staining, lingering odors, and structural deterioration.
2. When Smoke Odors Linger
Even a small fire can leave behind powerful odors that seep into walls, ceilings, and soft furnishings. If you notice the smell of smoke days or weeks later, it means particles are still trapped inside your property. Restoration professionals use advanced cleaning methods and air purification systems to fully remove these odors, creating a safe and comfortable environment.
3. If Water Damage Occurred During Firefighting
Firefighting efforts often involve large amounts of water, which can saturate walls, floors, and belongings. Left untreated, this moisture can lead to mold growth and further property damage. A fire damage restoration company not only removes smoke and soot but also extracts water, dries the structure, and prevents additional problems from developing.
4. When Structural Integrity Is in Question
Fires can weaken wood, drywall, roofing, and foundations, even if the damage isn’t immediately obvious. If you have concerns about the stability of your property, restoration experts can perform a thorough inspection, reinforce weakened areas, and ensure the structure is safe for re-entry and repairs.
5. If You See Soot or Ash Residue
Soot and ash are highly corrosive, and the longer they remain on surfaces, the more damage they cause. They can stain walls, etch glass, and ruin metal fixtures. Professional restoration removes these residues with specialized cleaning techniques, saving as much of the original structure and contents as possible.
6. To Ensure Insurance Claims Are Handled Properly
Filing an insurance claim after a fire can be overwhelming. Restoration companies document all damage with photos, reports, and detailed estimates, which helps property owners navigate the claims process. This ensures you get the coverage you’re entitled to and that the restoration work is completed efficiently.
What's our process like when doing Fire Damage Restoration?
Our fire damage restoration process begins with a thorough inspection to determine the full extent of the damage. We secure the property if needed, remove debris, and address both visible and hidden risks such as soot, smoke, and water left behind from firefighting. Using specialized equipment, our team cleans surfaces, extracts water, dries the structure, and eliminates odors to restore safe air quality.
Once the property is stabilized, we move into repairs and reconstruction. From replacing damaged drywall and flooring to handling larger structural issues, every step is completed with precision and care. Our goal is to return your property to its pre-loss condition quickly and effectively, while ensuring lasting safety and peace of mind.
Specific Work Practices Include:
Our process starts with a detailed inspection guided by the IICRC S700 Standard for Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration. This helps us assess the scope of fire, smoke, and soot damage, address safety concerns, and outline a restoration plan.
We remove debris, clean surfaces, and use specialized equipment to eliminate smoke and odor. If water was used during firefighting, we also extract moisture and dry the property to prevent further damage.
By following IICRC S700 best practices, we ensure proper cleaning, deodorization, and structural stabilization, restoring your property to a safe and healthy condition.
