Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration Services

  • Emergency Board Up

    Emergency board-up service after a fire involves securing a property by covering damaged openings such as broken windows, doors, or walls with sturdy boards. It aims to protect the property from further damage, weather elements, and unauthorized access. Emergency board-up services help stabilize the property, prevent additional losses, and provide a temporary barrier until repairs and restoration can be initiated.

  • Fire, Smoke, and Soot Damage Remediation

    Fire, smoke, and soot damage remediation is the process of addressing and restoring a property that has been affected by a fire. It involves removing debris, assessing the extent of damage, cleaning and deodorizing surfaces, and repairing or replacing damaged materials. The goal is to eliminate smoke odors, remove soot residue, and restore the property to a safe and habitable condition.

  • Odor Removal

    Odor removal after a fire involves the process of eliminating persistent smoke and fire-related odors from a property. It includes identifying the source of the odor, thoroughly cleaning affected surfaces, and utilizing specialized techniques such as ozone treatment, thermal fogging, or air filtration to neutralize and remove odorous particles. The goal is to restore a fresh and odor-free environment, ensuring the property is comfortable and free from lingering fire-related smells.

  • Structural and Non-Structural Reconstruction

    Structural reconstruction after a fire refers to the repair and restoration of the load-bearing components of a building that have been damaged or compromised. This involves assessing the structural integrity, reinforcing or replacing damaged elements, and ensuring the stability of the building. Non-structural reconstruction, on the other hand, focuses on restoring non-load-bearing elements such as interior finishes, fixtures, and furnishings to return the space to its pre-fire condition and functionality.

Fire Damage Restoration Questions and Answers

It's never a quick fix, though we've gathered together a multi-disciplined team of contractors and technicians to work in tandem to complete the work as soon as possible. From structural repairs to sand/soda-blasting to odor removal to contents cleaning, our fire damage restoration crew begins as soon as the project scope is determined, and we don't stop until the job is done and both you and the insurance company are satisfied with the results.

Most often, yes. You'll need to check your specific policy for the full scope of coverage, but generally, if a flame caused the damage, it's covered. Your best bet is to hire a professional restoration company, like Just Us Construction & Restoration, Inc., to help you through the claims process. We know how to avoid some common missteps when it comes to making sure the entire loss is documented and covered. Many homeowners and insurance companies forget, for instance, to consider that your HVAC system will need to be cleaned of soot. Since fires are extinguished using water, many areas of your home may need to be restored due to water damage, even if they weren't directly affected by the fire.

Depending on the extent or location of the fire damage, some homeowners can move back in a few days or longer. The fire department will usually turn off electricity and gas to the property immediately, which won't be restored until a building inspector says it's safe to turn those utilities back on. If you experienced significant smoke damage and the home's occupants include elderly persons, young children, or those with chronic health conditions, you may be wise to stay until the smoke cleanup is complete. Contracting with a company experienced in fire damage restoration can often get you back home sooner because they'll have the resources to hire and manage the many tradespeople who will need to work together to make the home liveable again.

DIY soot removal is not recommended. Commercially available products can actually cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot itself is primarily oil-based, but that residue also contains toxic, possibly biohazard contaminants.

Smoke damage is rarely limited to one area of the house, and it leaves behind a residue that can hide in crevices and out-of-reach areas, and a simple "airing out" may not be sufficient. We recommend consulting with a smoke damage technician who can help you troubleshoot the next steps.
