Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Assessment, cleaning and recovery planning after a fire, with attention to soot migration, odour, suppression water and damaged materials.
Fire, smoke and soot require different methods
Heat, smoke, soot, suppression water and odour can affect areas beyond the visible burn zone. Materials should be assessed before aggressive cleaning or disposal begins.
- Initial damage and safety assessment
- Soot and residue evaluation
- Smoke odour source identification
- Cleaning and filtration planning
- Documentation for repair and insurance discussions
Before entering a fire-damaged property
Follow instructions from fire officials and utility providers. Do not energize affected electrical systems or disturb unstable materials. Photograph conditions when it is safe to do so.
Important: Coverage decisions are made by the insurer. Restoration documentation supports the claim process but does not guarantee coverage or payment.
From stabilization to recovery
Depending on the loss, available work may include temporary protection, air filtration, selective cleaning, odour-control planning, contents assessment and coordination of repair steps.
