What Are Fire Mitigation Options for Forest Hills Homes?

  • Smoke Remediation
  • Fire and Smoke Damage
  • Smoke Damage
  • Water & Fire Damage Restoration

Smoke Remediation of Forest Hills Homes 

When smoke residues and soils exist throughout the property, the objective of experienced fire restoration professionals is to eliminate these surface concerns. To accomplish this, these professionals use various recovery methods beginning with wet surface cleaning with solvents and detergents. In heavily damaged areas, controlled demolition is possible. 

Does Smoke Remediation Mean Odor Removal? 

A challenging obstacle for responding technicians is a lingering odor after extinguishment. While initial efforts like debris removal can reduce the severity of these conditions, ultimately, smoke remediation requires deodorization equipment like thermal fogging, hydroxyl machines, and ozone generators. Surface cleaning can often begin this process in reducing present odors.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
