Board-up & utility shutoff
Once the fire department releases the structure, the company secures it — boarding openings, tarping the roof, and confirming utilities are safely off.
Suppression-water extraction & drying
The water used to fight the fire is extracted from basements, crawlspaces and the structure, then structural drying begins before mold starts.
Soot & smoke cleaning
Surfaces, contents and the HVAC are cleaned by residue type — dry, wet or protein soot each need different chemistry and methods.
Deodorization & rebuild
Odor is neutralized at the source using thermal fog, hydroxyl or ozone, then damaged materials are rebuilt.
