Fire and smoke damage restoration in Immokalee, FL

Fire and smoke damage in Immokalee

Fire calls in Immokalee 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.

Immokalee is an inland agricultural community in northeast Collier County, surrounded by vegetable and citrus farms, along State Roads 29 and 82. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 27,753 residents in Immokalee. The median year of construction is about 1991, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Much of Immokalee is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.

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. Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
4. Treat odor after the residue is gone, with ozone or hydroxyl only in unoccupied spaces.
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.
• Keep soot off your skin and out of your car.
