Inventory before anything moves
Every item is photographed and logged where it sits, then tagged and tracked through cleaning and storage. This is not bureaucracy — the inventory is what your contents claim is paid from, and losses argued from memory six weeks later always shortchange the homeowner.
Restore versus replace, decided honestly
Insurers prefer restoration when it costs less than replacement, and often it does: smoke-filmed dishes clean perfectly in ultrasonic tanks, solid furniture refinishes, most textiles launder to pre-loss condition. But particleboard that swelled or upholstery that absorbed sewage is not restorable at any price, and we say so — putting a cleaned-looking but compromised item back in your home helps nobody.
The irreplaceable gets priority
Photographs, documents, and keepsakes are triaged first, before mold sets into wet paper — freezing stabilizes wet documents within the first day or two, buying time for controlled drying. Tell the crew what matters most in the first walkthrough and it is handled first, always.
From our work
How these jobs usually go
Each summary combines details from many similar jobs we have done. They describe our real work, not one specific property, and leave out homeowner details for privacy.
Kitchen fire: secured, cleaned and rebuilt
Kitchen fires usually start at the stove, but soot and smoke spread well past the burned area, and a broken window or door often leaves the house open.
- Boarded up the openings the same night
- Removed soot and smoke residue before it set into surfaces
- Treated the smoke odour at its source
- Rebuilt the kitchen
The home was secured on day one and the kitchen rebuilt under the same file.
Fire damage restorationBelongings packed out after a fire
Belongings that look ruined can often be cleaned, but they cannot stay in a smoky, wet house while repairs happen.
- Packed out the salvageable belongings
- Cleaned and stored them during the repairs
- Listed the items that could not be saved for the insurance claim
The homeowner keeps what can be saved, and the insurer gets a clear list of what could not.
Drying out after the fire department leaves
Putting out a fire soaks walls, floors and the rooms below. That water needs the same drying as any other flood.
- Extracted standing water and removed soaked materials that could not be dried
- Set drying equipment in the affected rooms
- Tracked the drying with moisture meters until materials read dry
The structure was dry and verified before smoke cleanup and repairs closed anything up.
Structural dryingLarger fire: demolition through finished rooms
Bigger fires leave structural damage that goes past cleaning.
- Demolished fire-damaged materials and removed the debris
- Re-framed where the structure needed it
- Rebuilt to finished rooms: insulation, drywall, flooring and paint
One crew handled the job from demolition to finished rooms.
