Fire Swept through the entire area, leaving everything covered in smoke and soot.

We pride ourselves on being quick and reliable during unexpected events like fires. Our restoration process may seem intense, but we've decided to break it down for you in 5 simple steps...

1. Inspection and Assessment

The company will send out a team of professional inspectors to determine the best course of action. They then will figure out what tools they'll need to get the job done. During the fire cleanup process, they will determine if pipes and wiring have been impacted, the extent of smoke damage and any hazardous conditions.

2. Board-Up and Tarping

Boards and tarps provide an excellent barrier to elements and possible thieves. The immediate priority after a fire is to prevent any further damage. 

3. Water Removal and Drying 

Equipment like fans and negative pressure devices speed up this step. Dehumidifiers are used to get the moisture out of walls and floors as quickly as possible.

4. Soot and Smoke Cleaning

This step takes specialized equipment and techniques that experienced fire cleanup personnel have to complete the job. 

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

All exposed surfaces and personal belongings will be restored or replaced during the final cleanup process. Air scrubbers and fogging devices may also be used.
