Full Service Fire Remediation

Fire results in incredibly toxic and corrosive soot and is extremely challenging to remove soiling and the highly pungent odors. Our Disaster Remediation Technicians are have received comprehensive training and certification and our Rebuild Teams are staffed with skilled craftsmen. They work hand-in-hand to offer our customers a seamless transition from remediation to rebuild.

Our first step to recovery is containment of the damaged area. It is essential that we prevent the drifting and wafting of smoke and soot. If they are not contained, airborne particles of smoke and soot will quickly travel to every inch of surface area in your property. We use polyethylene barriers to seal the perimeter of the affected. Our HEPA filters force contaminants through and vent their air to the outdoors, ensure that your air quality returns to normal levels.

Three types of soot result from fires: dry and ashy, thick and wet, and protein-based. Our expert technicians are trained in each specific method of removal for the various types of soot. If not taken care of properly, the efforts to clean soot can instead cause smearing or staining.

By using thermal fogging, ozone machines, or hydroxyl generators for odor removal, we can remove the tiny particles of soot that hide in crevices and even in HVAC systems. 

During the remediation process our technicians will be documenting the damage and sharing that information with our Rebuild Team. This gives them the necessary insight to plan the rebuild process prior while the remediation is ongoing which intern enables them to hit the ground running as soon as the remediation process is complete thereby eliminating any lag time. Furthermore, in some instances, our Rebuild Teams are able to begin their work prior the completion of the remediation process, further reducing recovery time!
