Smoke damage occurs when smoke particles settle onto surfaces, leaving behind a layer of soot and odors. It can stain walls, furniture, and fabrics, and prolonged exposure can make cleaning more difficult and cause respiratory issues.
Structural damage happens when the heat from a fire weakens or destroys key elements of a building's structure, such as walls, ceilings, and support beams. This type of damage can compromise the safety and stability of the property and requires careful assessment and repair.
Water damage results from firefighting efforts, such as the use of hoses or sprinkler systems, to extinguish the flames. While critical for stopping the fire, the water can soak into materials, leading to issues like mold growth, warping, and further deterioration of building materials.
Recovering from fire damage requires a systematic approach to ensure thorough restoration and repair. Here’s our process that covers every phase of fire damage repair:

Experiencing a fire in your home or business can be overwhelming, and knowing what to do immediately after the incident can make a big difference. While waiting for our team to arrive, there are a few steps you can take to ensure your safety and protect your property from further damage. Here are seven essential tips:
Do not re-enter the property until the fire department has confirmed that it’s safe. Even after the fire is out, structural damage, toxic fumes, or hot spots can still pose significant risks.
Avoid excessive movement in the property to prevent spreading soot and ash to unaffected areas. Soot particles can easily settle into carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces, making cleanup more difficult.
Do not attempt to clean or touch any surfaces affected by smoke or fire damage. Oils from your skin can set the soot into fabrics, walls, and wood, making it harder to clean later.
If possible, turn off your heating and cooling systems. Circulating air can spread smoke and soot throughout the house, worsening the damage to areas that were initially unaffected.
If safe, open windows to allow fresh air to circulate. This can help reduce smoke odor and prevent additional soot from settling inside the home, but only do this if the weather conditions are favorable and it’s safe to do so.
Place clean towels, sheets, or plastic over upholstered furniture and carpets to protect them from further soot damage. This helps minimize the absorption of soot until professional cleaning can begin.
Document the damage by taking photos of all affected areas. These will be valuable for insurance claims and for our team to assess the extent of the damage when we begin restoration.
