One of the key areas of fire damage restoration is damage assessment. Once the area is safe, experts can enter to assess the damage. The evaluation involves inspecting the structure and determining the extent of the fire and smoke penetration. They also estimate the level of clean-up needed.
There is also a need to assess what can be salvaged and the cost of restoring damaged belongings. The items are removed if the restoration price is lower than the replacement cost. They are cleaned, sanitized, and restored.
In most cases, water damage follows fire damage. Any excess water has to be removed and the affected areas dried.
Irreparable sections have to undergo controlled demolition. Damaged walls, ceilings, flooring, and other materials are demolished and removed.
After demolition, cleaning and decontamination are done before any reconstruction and repairs.
