Our Commercial Fire Damage Restoration Process for Chicago, IL & Suburbs
While people assume it’s the fire that destroys a structure, smoke causes more damage in some cases. Even a small fire can cause unseen destruction to a building. Generally, a commercial facility requires a site-wide inspection before it can be safely opened for business once more.
Here at ServiceMaster of Lake Shore, our team uses cutting-edge equipment and state-of-the-art techniques to assess the damage to your commercial property. We present you with a detailed action plan that explains our commercial fire and smoke damage repair and restoration process.
We work quickly. We know that, after a fire, every second wasted means more damage to your property and more downtime for your company’s employees. You need to get your doors open again soon as possible, but you also want to know what to expect.
We adhere to the following 8-step process to restore your property to its pre-loss condition.
1. Building Stabilization
Fire compromises the structural integrity of a building. Before we can get to work, we must stabilize and secure the affected areas to ensure that our crew can safely enter and exit the property.
To do this, our team will board up vulnerable areas, such as broken windows and doors, to prevent further damage and secure the building from vandals and bad weather. We’ll place tarps on missing or damaged segments of the roof to protect property interiors from the elements.
2. Water Removal and Drying
The next step in our restoration process will address standing water left over from fire suppression efforts and the building’s fire sprinkler system. We’ll bring in our professional-grade equipment to extract water and dry the affected areas. Our water damage restoration services also include certified mold removal and remediation techniques.
3. Assessment and Pre-cleaning
Next, our crew will inspect the property to determine the scope of fire damages. We’ll note areas that require extensive fire, smoke, and soot remediation and repair. During this phase, we’ll also clear out debris and create a space for restoration to begin.
4. Soot and Smoke Removal
Smoke and soot particles can be as damaging as fire to a property. For example, soot settling on surfaces and permeating walls creates a dangerous carcinogenic risk that can result in long-term health problems. Our technicians will remove soot contamination and smoke stains from all affected areas. Using the latest restoration techniques, we’ll salvage and clean items damaged by smoke and soot.
5. Content Pack-Out
We will identify and clean salvageable items and prepare them for pack-out and storage. This is done following best-practices and local, state, and federal guidelines. The service covers all types of content, from business documents and electronics to personal items.
6. Wall and Ceiling Cleaning
Soot and smoke can wreak havoc on your walls and ceiling. Our team cleans these surfaces to eliminate stains and discoloration. As we work, we tear out and dispose of fire- and water-damaged building materials as needed.
7. Property-Wide Deodorization
Commercial fires leave behind an acrid smell, adding an invisible layer of damage. Even when confined to a small space, the odor spreads to all other areas in the building. We’ll use commercial-grade deodorizers to neutralize fire odors and make your property enjoyable to be in once more.
8. Complete Fire Damage Restoration
Property-wide restoration is the final phase of our commercial fire damage repair process. During this step, we’ll restore your business to its pre-fire condition. Depending on the extent of the damage, we’ll repair or replace drywall and fire-damaged materials, prime and paint walls, and install new carpet and floor coverings. We’ll even reconstruct complete rooms or areas of your business.
