After a fire or water, it's important to hire an experienced team of experts who specialize in fire and water damage restoration.  

Assessment of Damage

They will come to your home or business to conduct an inspection and assessment of the damages. During this step, they'll look for any structural damage caused by the fire or water as well as smoke and soot damages.  

Security of Property & Debris Removal

This includes installing fencing around the property, removing debris around the perimeter, and boarding up openings in the structure, as well as tarping or sealing off parts of the roof to protect what's left of the property from the weather.  

Demolition, Water Removal & Dry Out

The goal during this stage is to prevent further damage due to mold or corrosion by removing water and drying out the property. Personal property will be removed from the interior of the structure. Damaged drywall, flooring and other materials will be removed down to the studs as necessary. Water extraction crews will work with commercial equipment to dry out the structure. Roof tarps will be maintained during this stage to prevent further intrusion of water.  

Clean Up & Smoke Removal

This is the most intensive part of a fire damage restoration job: clean up. This step typically involves a lot of manual labor to properly clean smoke and soot from interior and exterior surfaces. In many cases, every inch of the affected area will need to be cleaned. Following proper clean up, deodorizing agents are used to fully remove any lingering smoke odors.   

Construction & Restoration

The final step in returning the property to pre-loss condition is performing any necessary fire damage repairs or to rebuild fire-damaged areas. In the case of a fire, parts of the structure may be completely unsalvageable during the initial assessment, and therefore must be removed and replaced. This may include rebuilding and replacing the roof, replacing electrical, replacing and painting drywall, replacing flooring materials, replacing interior counters, fixtures, etc. to bring the property back to pre-loss condition.

Unfortunately, we cannot predict how long it will take to clean up and restore your property until we have assessed the damage. We will explain how long the process will take before beginning work.

If the damage is severe, you may be required to leave. If the damage is minimal, it comes down to your personal preference. Be aware that there may be strong odors, loud noises from equipment or construction, or disruptions to utility services.
