Water Removal
The first step in the fire damage repair process is removing the water left from putting the fire out. On top of the damage of smoke, soot, and char, water can cause additional deterioration and foster mold growth. It's important to start the drying process as soon as possible to diminish the possibility of further damage and achieve the most successful fire restoration results.

The water removal typically consists of two stages: manual water extraction and supplementary drying. The initial stage involves using a high-powered wet vacuum to suck as much water as possible out of your building and belongings. This is followed up with dehumidification and ventilation using carpet fans and commercial dehumidifiers to dry remaining moisture out of the walls, floors, and room contents.

Fire Damage Repairs
Once the water has been completely removed, we can move on to the fire damage itself. The first step is a thorough evaluation of the extent of the damage and an inventory of items to be restored. Then a series of deodorizers and soot and smoke cleaners are used to wash away all traces of the fire. In fact, fire damage repair can save sodden documents, sooty furniture, and even electronics or industrial equipment.
