Securing the Property and Content
Once the initial assessment is complete, our priority is to secure your property and protect your belongings. We use professional-grade materials to board up windows and doors, preventing unauthorized entry and further damage from the elements. For compromised roofs, we install temporary coverings to keep out rain and debris. Our team carefully inventories and packs salvageable items, using specialized techniques to prevent further damage during handling and storage. These items are then transferred to our secure, climate-controlled facilities where they're protected until your home is ready for their return.

Water Extraction
Water damage often accompanies fire damage due to firefighting efforts. Our water extraction process begins immediately to prevent secondary damage and mold growth. We deploy industrial-grade pumps and vacuums to remove standing water quickly. Our technicians use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify hidden pockets of water within walls, floors, and ceilings. We then use professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry the structure. Throughout this process, we monitor moisture levels closely and apply mold prevention treatments to ensure your property is completely dry and sanitized.

Smoke and Soot Cleanup
Smoke and soot can cause extensive damage if not properly addressed. Our specialized cleanup process begins with a thorough assessment of the type of smoke damage present, as different types require different cleaning approaches. We use advanced chemical treatments specifically designed to break down smoke molecules and neutralize odors at their source. HEPA vacuums are employed to remove fine soot particles from surfaces without spreading contamination. For delicate items, we use dry cleaning soot sponges to gently lift away residue. Finally, we perform thermal fogging throughout the property, which penetrates all areas affected by smoke to ensure comprehensive deodorization.

Cleaning and Sanitization
After addressing smoke and soot, we perform a thorough cleaning and sanitization of your entire property. We use professional-grade cleaning agents tailored to different surface types, ensuring effective cleaning without causing damage. For salvageable items, we employ ultrasonic cleaning technology, which uses high-frequency sound waves to remove contaminants even from intricate objects. To purify the air, we set up industrial air scrubbers with HEPA filtration, removing airborne particles and odors. Finally, we apply antimicrobial treatments throughout the property to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, creating a safe and healthy environment for your return.
