Steps For Fire Restoration

This home was stripped down to the studs after a fire.

After a fire loss there is a lot that needs done. The contents need to be packed and moved out, the damaged materials need to be removed, and then the rebuilding process can begin. 

Contents 

One of the first steps we take is to remove all the contents out of the home to prevent further damage. Our highly trained team will pack up the contents and move them back to our facility to be cleaned. Below is a list of our different techniques for cleaning contents. 

• Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
• Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
• Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
• Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
• Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Demolishing

After the contents are removed the home is ready for the next step, demo. During this step our team will evaulate what exactly needs to be removed and what can stay and be saved. Sometimes the home has to come down to the wood studs, and sometimes we can clean the walls and prep for paint. After the damaged materials are removed then it is time for rebuild.
