Fire, Smoke
and Soot Damage

Effective restoration for building and contents following fire/smoke damage requires a swift response. When it comes to insurance recovery, the first 24-48 hours are crucial to reduce secondary damage. Without timely remediation,
damage caused by the extreme heat and the noxious and corrosive residue left behind, can have a long-lasting impact on the property.

Noxious Residue & Pollution

Effectively restoring a building and its contents after a fire requires a fast response. When it comes to insurance recovery, the first 24 to 48 hours are crucial to reduce secondary damage.

Fire restoration needs to consider the structural damage, as well as controlling ongoing contamination and eliminate persistent odours. As smoke and soot settle across surfaces, it’s vital to have the property thoroughly cleaned with the right chemicals and materials.

Damage caused by the extreme heat, as well as the noxious and corrosive residue left behind, can have a long-lasting impact on the property. Without timely remediation, there can be severe exposure to pollution and respiratory irritants if ash, soot and smoke linger in the property.

Our Approach

We restore fire-affected spaces with precision, removing hazardous soot, neutralising odours and repairing structural and surface damage to bring buildings back to a safe, habitable condition.

Inspection

We examine structural and content damage from fire, smoke and water (if used to extinguish).

Contents assessment & inventory of loss

We assess and identify salvageable items, carefully cleaning them, while responsibly disposing of belongings that are irreparably damaged by fire.

Water extraction

We extract water that may have been used to suppress the fire, mitigating secondary damage.

Humidity & environmental controls

We stabilise the indoor environment and control airborne contaminants to aid in odour and soot removal, while also preventing mould growth.

Contamination source removal

We remove smoke residues, soot, and damaged materials that pose health or structural risks.

Cleaning & treatment

We clean and treat smoke-affected areas to restore indoor air quality and surfaces.

Structural drying

We dry affected structures to prevent secondary damages including water or mould damage.

Final assessment

A final inspection is conducted by our team or as required by an independent environmental professional to ensure the building is safe for repairs or preoccupancy.
