Demolition and removal of damaged building materials such as removing drywall from kitchen walls. After removal of drywall, the walls are then spray sealed which is a process of coating or encapsulating the framing and other building materials with an odor blocking sealer to eliminate the smell of smoke.
Structural cleaning – process of cleaning the home of soot and ash with industrial cleaners and eliminating smoke odor. Typically, this occurs after a small fire that is quickly extinguished that doesn’t cause structural damage but leaves a smoke odor throughout the home.
Throughout the cleanup phase, our team takes care to clear away all debris while employing specialized equipment and chemicals designed for the thorough eradication of smoke odors within your structure. We don’t merely mask the scent; instead, we implement meticulous techniques to ensure its complete and permanent elimination.
Our certified technicians use the latest techniques, products and equipment in our five-step fire and smoke restoration process:
The damage left behind after a fire can be significant, but damages are not only structural. Proper restoration and rebuilding is important to reduce the likelihood of construction defects.
In certain cases, the process of eliminating soot and applying a fresh coat of paint or refinishing may be sufficient for sections of your building untouched by the fire’s damage. When a fire is confined to a specific area within your facility, it’s probable that soot and smoke damage has affected other regions as well. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of smoke damage and carry out structural cleaning and odor mitigation.
