Fire damage extends far beyond what's visible to the eye, with smoke penetration and soot residues causing ongoing damage if not properly addressed. Our IICRC-certified fire restoration technicians specialize in complete fire damage mitigation, structural cleaning, and odor elimination to restore your property to pre-loss condition.
Fire Restoration Services
Complete structural assessment and restoration following fire incidents. Our teams secure properties, board up openings, and begin immediate mitigation to prevent secondary damage from soot and water used in firefighting.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke particles penetrate deeply into building materials and contents. Our specialized techniques remove smoke residues from all surfaces and eliminate persistent odors through thermal fogging and ozone treatments.
Soot Removal
Soot is acidic and corrosive, causing permanent etching and discoloration if not promptly addressed. Our technicians use specialized cleaning agents and techniques to safely remove soot from all surface types without causing additional damage.
Post-Fire Cleanup
Comprehensive cleaning of all affected areas including structural components, contents, and HVAC systems. We inventory, pack out, and clean salvageable items at our facility while structural restoration occurs.
Understanding Fire Damage Restoration Process
Fire damage restoration requires specialized knowledge of different smoke residues, cleaning techniques, and odor elimination methods. The restoration approach varies significantly based on the type of fire, materials burned, and extent of damage.
Protein fires from kitchen accidents create nearly invisible residues with extremely pungent odors, while synthetic material fires produce thick, black, sticky soot with toxic properties. Our certified technicians accurately identify residue types and apply appropriate cleaning protocols for each surface and material.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Effective fire damage restoration requires a systematic approach to address both visible damage and hidden smoke penetration. Our proven process ensures complete restoration while preventing secondary corrosion and odor issues.

Board-Up & Roof Tarp
Securing the property against weather and unauthorized entry by boarding up broken windows and doors, and installing roof tarps to prevent water intrusion.
Water Removal & Drying
Extraction of water used in firefighting efforts followed by comprehensive drying using industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent mold growth.

Specialized cleaning of all surfaces to remove smoke residues and soot deposits using techniques appropriate for each surface type and residue variety.

Health Risks of Fire Damage and Importance of Professional Cleanup

Primary Health Concerns:
- Respiratory irritation from inhaling soot particles
- Skin and eye irritation from contact with residues
- Exposure to toxic compounds from burned synthetic materials
- Carbon monoxide exposure in poorly ventilated areas
- Mold growth from water used in firefighting efforts

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage requires immediate attention. Within minutes, acid in soot residues begins etching surfaces like glass, chrome, and appliances. Within hours, metals tarnish, wood furniture requires refinishing, and yellowing of paints occurs. Within days, corrosion permanently damages metals, wall coverings stain permanently, and mold begins growing in wet areas.
While surface cleaning might seem possible, professional restoration is essential for several reasons. Soot residues contain corrosive compounds that require specialized cleaning agents. Inadequate cleaning leaves odors that resurface later. Additionally, improper cleaning can drive soot deeper into materials, making eventual professional restoration more difficult and costly.
The timeline varies based on the extent of damage. A small, contained fire may be restored in 1-2 weeks, while extensive whole-house fires can take several months. The process includes securing the property, cleaning contents, structural drying, odor elimination, and reconstruction phases.
When performed correctly by certified professionals using appropriate odor elimination techniques, smoke odors should not return. We use multiple methods including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at their source rather than merely masking them.
Most items can be restored with professional cleaning techniques. Electronics require specialized cleaning, documents can be freeze-dried and restored, and furniture can typically be refinished unless structurally compromised. We provide detailed inventory and assessment of all contents to determine restoration potential versus replacement.
