How fire restoration works

  1. Board up broken windows and doors and secure the property.
  2. Extract firefighting water and dry the structure so it does not become a mold problem.
  3. Remove soot with HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning chemistry for each surface.
  4. Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
  5. Photograph and document everything for your insurer.

What to do and not do

  • Do not wipe soot; it smears and etches.
  • Photograph every room and call your insurer.
  • Do not use electrical items that got wet or hot.

Why does soot need to be cleaned quickly?

Soot is acidic. On metal, stone, grout, and paint it starts to etch and stain, and the longer it sits the more has to be replaced instead of cleaned.
