Our fire damage restoration professionals work with insurance adjusters to assess and document your fire damaged property and get you back to normal fast!
Not all fire damage is the same. The American Red Cross provides tips for getting started but it is important to keep in mind that fire creates two types of smoke damage — the visible soot and the invisible odor. Fire damage cleanup techniques vary based on the components of the fire. Because each fire is different, it is not possible to provide one set of guidelines for fire damage cleanup. Smoke odor from wood could react differently to some cleaning products than smoke odor from plastics. It can be difficult, if not impossible, for property owners — inexperienced in fire damage cleanup and fire_damage restoration — to restore fire damaged property and eliminate smoke odors without professional assistance and equipment.

The fire damage restoration process requires detailed knowledge about construction as well as smoke removal, soot and ash elimination, stain removal, content restoration, toxicity removal and restoring balance to the environment. Even if your belongings are seriously water-logged or smoke damaged, many of them can be recovered by fire damage_restoration specialists.
It is generally not recommended to stay in your home after a fire, regardless of its size. Even small fires can compromise the underlying structure, creating safety hazards. Additionally, smoke and soot residues pose significant health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory issues or allergies.
To ensure your safety, it’s best to have a professional assess the environment. A fire damage restoration specialist can evaluate structural integrity, air quality, and potential hazards before you return to your home.
It depends on the severity of the fire damage and the safety of your home. Before making any decisions, fire damage restoration specialists will assess the property to ensure the structure is sound and safe. They will also evaluate air quality to check for health hazards caused by soot, smoke, or chemical residues.
If the home is deemed safe for occupancy, you may be able to live in it during the remaining restoration process. However, temporary relocation might be recommended for extensive repairs or if hazardous conditions are present. Always prioritize your safety and follow professional guidance.
The timeline for fire damage restoration depends on the extent of the damage. For smaller fires with limited damage, the process can often be completed within a week or two. However, more extensive damage from larger fires may require several weeks to a few months to fully restore the property.
Factors such as structural repairs, smoke and soot removal, and air quality restoration can affect the duration of the process. A professional fire damage restoration company will provide a detailed timeline after assessing the specific needs of your property.
