Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment and Safety Evaluation

    Upon arrival, our team conducts a comprehensive safety evaluation, securing the area with emergency tarping and board-up where necessary. This initial assessment determines the extent of damage and safety hazards, guiding our restoration strategy. Our rapid assessment is crucial in unstable periods post-fire, ensuring that areas of structural weakness are addressed first.

  2. 2

    Soot and Smoke Residue Removal

    We focus on eliminating all types of soot—including dry, wet, and protein residues—using advanced techniques like chem sponge cleaning. This step is crucial to preventing further damage and preparing surfaces for restoration. Our team meticulously cleans affected areas to remove residues, thereby mitigating the risk of permanent discoloration and odor retention.

  3. 3

    Air Quality and Odor Neutralization

    Using air scrubbers and HEPA filtration, we cleanse the air of smoke particles. For odor neutralization, we deploy thermal fogging and ozone treatments, effectively removing lingering smoke odors from your home. These methods ensure your living environment is restored to a state of comfort and safety, eliminating toxic residues that can pose health risks.

  4. 4

    Contents Pack-Out and Inventory

    Our team carefully documents and removes valuable contents from your home for specialized cleaning in an ozone chamber. This allows for thorough restoration and protection of belongings during the repair process. Each item is meticulously cataloged and evaluated, with fragile items receiving particular attention to ensure no further damage occurs during transportation and processing.

  5. 5

    Structural Cleaning and Repairs

    The final step involves deep cleaning of structural areas, including walls, ceilings, and floors, using stain-blocking sealers to prepare for repairs. We assess and repair structural integrity to ensure your home is safe and sound. This involves not only cosmetic restoration but thorough inspection and reinforcement of all structural elements to guarantee long-term resilience against potential future hazards.
