The Restoration Process
1. Safety Assessment and Securing the Property: We have the structure inspected to ensure it’s safe to enter. Board up openings, tarp damaged roofing, and secure the property against weather and unauthorized entry.
2. Damage Assessment and Documentation: Our team thoroughly documents all fire, smoke, and water damage (from firefighting efforts) with photos and detailed inventories for insurance purposes. Categorize items as salvageable, questionable, or total loss.
3. Debris Removal and Demolition: We remove charred structural elements, damaged drywall, insulation, flooring, and other materials that cannot be cleaned or restored. This includes items with heavy smoke penetration.
4. Soot and Smoke Cleaning: Our team cleans all surfaces using specialized techniques and products. Different types of smoke residue require different cleaning methods – dry soot, wet soot, protein residue, and fuel oil soot each need specific approaches.
5. Odor Removal: We utilize professional deodorization techniques such as thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generators to eliminate persistent smoke odors from materials and air spaces.
6. Structural Cleaning and Repair: We ensure HVAC systems, ductwork, and all structural surfaces are cleaned. Our team seals surfaces if necessary to prevent odor bleeding. Then, replace damaged electrical, plumbing, and structural components.
7. Reconstruction: Finally, we begin to rebuild damaged areas with new materials, including drywall, flooring, roofing, and any other structural elements.
8. Final Inspection and Air Quality Testing: Our inspectors conduct thorough cleaning verification and air quality testing to ensure the home is safe and odor-free before reoccupation.
During the entire procedure, we understand maintaining clear communication with the property owner is essential to keep them updated and provide peace of mind. Restoration and remediation specialists are committed to reducing any inconvenience while safely and efficiently returning the damaged environment to its original state as quickly as possible.
