Your fire damage repair contractor must first get the official nod from a licensed authority before they can even enter the premises to evaluate the amount of the fire damage. Below is a typical look at how the fire damage restoration procedure is carried out from there when they have been given entry to the property:

• Evaluation of Damage

This usually entails determining how far the smoke and flames have permeated the building and the size of any necessary clean-up. In this process, the inside of the property is also evaluated to identify what should be thrown out and what may be packed out and restored. The restoration specialists will then have a better understanding of the scope of the job, how long it will take, and be able to start estimating the cost after a complete examination.

• Property Protection and Debris Cleanup

This entails erecting a fence around the property, clearing the area of debris, caulking gaps in the building, and tarping or sealing off areas of the roof to keep the remaining portion of the property from the elements. In order to prevent cross-contamination, it is crucial for restoration specialists to make sure that any portions of the property that were spared from the fire are completely sealed off.

• Dismantling, Reducing Water Damage and Drying Out

By eliminating water and drying out the property, the aim is to stop future damage caused by corrosion or mold. The interior of the facility will be cleared of any personal stuff. If required, damaged flooring, drywall, and other components will be taken out to the studs. Commercial equipment will be used by water extraction personnel to dry the building. Throughout this phase, roof tarps will be kept in place to stop additional water incursions.

• Cleaning and Smoke Removal

For the purpose of thoroughly cleaning smoke and grime from interior and external surfaces, this phase usually entails a lot of physical effort. Deodorizing solutions are used to completely eliminate any leftover smoke scents after a thorough cleaning. Any packed-out materials are presumably also being restored to their pre-loss condition off-site. Duct cleaning is also part of the clean-up process to get rid of any soot, smoke, or debris that may have gotten into the ducts.

• Construction and Rebuilding

After a fire, some components of the building might not be able to be saved at all, necessitating their removal and replacement. Restore the property to its pre-loss condition, which may entail rebuilding and repairing the roof, restoring the electrical system, replacing and painting the walls, replacing the flooring, replacing interior countertops and fixtures, and more.
