Fire & Smoke Damage
Board-up, soot and smoke removal, odour control and full reconstruction after a fire, coordinated with your adjuster.
After the fire comes the water, the soot and the smell
Fire damage is rarely only fire damage. There is water from suppression, soot that keeps etching surfaces it sits on, and smoke odour that works its way into every porous material in the building.
We secure and board up the structure first, then deal with the water, then the soot, in that order. Cleaning soot before the structure is dry just moves it around. Odour control comes last, once the sources have actually been removed.
What the work includes- Emergency board-up and temporary fencing to secure the site
- Water extraction and drying from suppression activity
- Soot and residue removal from hard and soft surfaces
- Removal of unsalvageable materials with inventory
- Odour control and air quality treatment
- Full reconstruction, from framing to finishes
- Insurance documentation and adjuster coordination
What we handle after a fire
- Open or unsecured structure after the fire service leaves
- Standing water and saturated materials from suppression
- Soot on walls, ceilings, ductwork and contents
- Persistent smoke odour weeks after the event
- Partial structural damage needing rebuild rather than repair
Fire & Smoke Damage, answered
Yes. Board-up and temporary fencing happen on the first visit so the site is safe and insurable while the rest of the scope is worked out.
Yes, but only after the sources are removed. Odour treatment applied over soot and saturated material is a perfume, not a repair.
We do. The same contractor that secures and cleans the property rebuilds it, which keeps the schedule and the warranty in one place.
