Belleair Shore fire damage cleanup

Fire losses we see in Belleair Shore

In Belleair Shore, kitchen and electrical fires send smoke through open floor plans and into attics and ductwork. We board up, extract firefighting water, clean soot, and treat odor after the residue is gone.

Belleair Shore is one of the smallest towns in Florida, a single strip of Gulf-front homes on Sand Key. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 67 residents in Belleair Shore. The median year of construction is about 1992, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Belleair Shore is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets.

Our fire and smoke process

1. Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
2. HEPA-vacuum and chemically clean soot from walls, ceilings, and fixtures.
3. Take out burned or heavily smoked materials that will keep smelling.
4. Treat odor after the residue is gone, with ozone or hydroxyl only in unoccupied spaces.
5. Photograph and document everything for your insurer.

Right after the fire

• Keep the HVAC off until it is inspected.
• Photograph every room and call your insurer.
• Keep soot off your skin and out of your car.
