Fire and smoke damage restoration in Harbour Heights, FL

Fire and smoke damage in Harbour Heights

Fire calls in Harbour Heights often start in the kitchen, laundry room, or garage. After the fire department leaves, the building still needs securing, firefighting water removed, and soot cleaned before it etches surfaces.

Harbour Heights is a community along the north side of the Peace River, northeast of Punta Gorda. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 4,145 residents in Harbour Heights. The median year of construction is about 1988, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Older housing in Harbour Heights often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Our fire and smoke process

1. Extract firefighting water and dry the structure so it does not become a mold problem.
2. Remove soot with HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning chemistry for each surface.
3. Wipe down HVAC components so the system does not keep spreading residue.
4. Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
5. Treat odor after the residue is gone, with ozone or hydroxyl only in unoccupied spaces.
