Our Commercial Fire Restoration Process

We follow an efficient 8-step restoration process:

1. Stabilization

We stabilize the building by boarding up broken windows, securing entry points, and placing tarps over damaged roof areas to protect against weather and vandalism.

2. Water Removal

We extract all standing water left behind by fire suppression efforts and use industrial-grade drying equipment to prevent mold growth and further water damage.

3. Damage Assessment

We assess the full extent of the damage by inspecting all affected areas for fire, smoke, soot, and water impact, then develop a tailored restoration plan.

4. Smoke & Soot Cleanup

We clean up smoke and soot residue using advanced techniques that safely remove harmful particles from surfaces, equipment, and structural materials.

5. Content Pack-Out & Personal Property Restoration

We carefully pack out and inventory all salvageable personal property, then clean, restore, and securely store your items off-site until your business is fully restored.

6. Surface Cleaning

We clean walls, ceilings, and floors, tearing out and disposing of fire-damaged materials as needed to prepare for rebuilding.

7. Deodorization

We deodorize the property thoroughly, using commercial-grade treatments to eliminate lingering smoke odors and restore indoor air quality.

8. Reconstruction

We complete full restoration and reconstruction, including structural repairs, drywall replacement, repainting, flooring installation, and more to return your business to its pre-fire condition.
