Soot and smoke residue
Different fuels leave different residues, and the wrong cleaning method sets a stain permanently. Surfaces are tested before the whole room is cleaned.
Fire Damage Restoration
Soot, smoke, the suppression water, and the rebuild, as one scope.
Two losses in one building
A fire leaves behind more than char. Soot keeps working on metal, stone, and finished surfaces while it sits, smoke drives into porous material well beyond the burn, and suppression puts a water loss underneath all of it.
Pro Restore stabilizes the surfaces that suffer from a wait, tests residues before committing to a cleaning method, dries the structure, treats the odor in the material holding it, and inventories contents honestly. Cleaning and rebuild are carried together, so nobody is coordinating two companies across the same room.
What a Fire Scope Covers
The water that came with it
Suppression leaves a water loss on top of the fire loss. Both are handled as one scope, because drying a building later is drying it too late.
Contents, sorted honestly
What can be cleaned is cleaned and inventoried, and what cannot is documented for the claim rather than quietly carried out with the debris.
How the Work Runs
- 1
Assess and Meter
We map the moisture, photograph the damage, and scope the work in writing.
- 2
Contain the Area
Barriers and negative air keep the affected area from reaching the rest of the building.
- 3
Remove and Dry
Unsalvageable material comes out, equipment goes in, and readings are logged daily.
- 4
Treat and Restore
Surfaces are cleaned and treated, then the space is rebuilt and walked with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there water damage after a fire?
Suppression puts a great deal of water into a building in a short time, and it goes everywhere water normally goes. Drying is therefore part of a fire scope, not a separate job to think about later.
Can smoke odor be removed from a house?
In most cases, once the material holding it is treated or removed. Smoke penetrates porous surfaces, so cleaning what you can see is the beginning of the work rather than the end of it.
Which contents can be saved?
It depends on the material and the residue. Hard surfaces clean up well, textiles often respond to specialist cleaning, and heavily charred porous items usually do not. Everything is inventoried either way.
How soon should cleaning start?
Soot is acidic and keeps working on surfaces while it sits, so metal, stone, and finished surfaces are the ones that suffer from a wait. We stabilize those first.
Do you handle the repairs as well as the cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning, deodorizing, and putting the space back are carried as one scope, so nobody is left coordinating two companies across the same room.
