Smoke and Fire Damage Restoration

What is Fire and Smoke Restoration?

In the aftermath of a fire, you may be faced with a messy situation. Smoke, soot, and water can damage your property if neglected. The initial 24 hours after a fire are crucial to ensuring the recovery of your property, preventing further damage, and protecting the health of the property’s occupants. During fire and smoke restoration, experts work tirelessly to secure the affected areas and restore and/or repair fire damaged materials.

Soot and debris will be removed from the property and structure, ensuring it no longer remains on surfaces, furniture, fabrics, and other affected items.
