Our Process

  1. 1

    Assessment and Documentation

    We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the smoke damage, documenting affected areas and contents. This documentation is meticulous, using digital photos and written records, ensuring that you have all necessary information for your insurance company. This crucial step ensures that all damages are recorded for insurance purposes and sets a clear roadmap for restoration.

  2. 2

    Soot and Smoke Residue Removal

    Utilizing advanced cleaning methods, our team tackles wet, dry, and protein residues using chem sponges and specialized cleaners. This step is essential to prevent acidic soot etching and corrosion. Special attention is given to areas like bathrooms and kitchens where residues might mix with moisture, potentially causing secondary damage if not cleaned properly.

  3. 3

    Odor Neutralization

    Smoke odor is tackled with a combination of thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators, ensuring complete odor removal. Hydroxyl generators are particularly useful, as they allow for treatment in occupied spaces. Stain-blocking sealers are applied to prevent lingering odors, giving surfaces like walls and ceilings a fresh start.

  4. 4

    Electronics and Contents Cleaning

    Special attention is given to electronics which are evaluated for smoke damage. Through our pack-out service, items are professionally cleaned and restored in an ozone chamber, a controlled environment that helps remove smoke odor and residue, to return them to pre-damage condition. Delicate items like photos and documents receive specialized care to prevent further degradation.

  5. 5

    Structural Repairs and Final Checks

    Any structural repairs needed, such as wall and ceiling refurbishment, are completed with precision and care. We also conduct a thorough inspection post-restoration, checking for any overlooked details and ensuring a smoke-free environment. This final step includes testing air quality to verify that the home is safe and fully restored.

We Work With Your Insurance
