How Our 6 Step Quality Restoration Process Works
Mitigation of Secondary Damage
There are elements of a fire that can cause additional damage to your home and personal items, which is why it is important to act fast after the fire. The longer these elements are present the harder it gets to clean and repair them:
- Smoke
- Soot
- Water
Soot Damage Cleanup
Soot is oily in its makeup, and it has the ability to move quickly throughout any structure. We use soot cleaners and vacuums designed to lift soot from fabrics and other materials. The problem could worsen when a water-based solvent is used in the process. Brushing is not recommended because friction only allows the soot to settle deeper within the surface.
Smoke Cleanup
When dealing with smoke and the odor of smoke, it is recommended to have an understanding of the type of fire. The type of chemicals that burned during the fire and the presence of other flammable materials in the house will impact the different odors present. Various methods and solutions are used for the treatment of various types of odors and smoke damage. Smoke needs to be cleaned properly and the odors removed.
Water Used to Put Out the Fire
The water used to put out the fire or water from burst pipes will mix with smoke and soot causing even more damage. The water needs to be removed, dried out and cleaned. Our team uses commercial grade equipment to remove the water and dry out the affected areas.
