Fire Damage Restoration

 How Fire Damage Restoration Works

Emergency Board Up

When your fire damaged property is released by the fire marshall, Compleat Restorations will begin stabilizing your home or business by boarding up exposed areas to protect from weather and as a security measure. 

Emergency Water Mitigation 

When water has been used to extinguish a fire, emergency mitigation will be employed with extraction and dehumidification to safeguard against further structural damage and potential microbial growth. Reducing the humidity and controlling temperature assist in effective odor control measures.  Read more about our water mitigation services.

In this scenario, fire and water restoration work in tandem to stabilize your property. 

Emergency Pre-Cleaning 

Smoke and soot on surfaces create a chemical reaction which, if not immediately addressed, will cause permanent, irreparable damage to structure and contents. The initial pre-clean of smoke-affected property is performed initially to halt the damage for a cost-effective and successful restoration project. 

Contents damaged by fire or smoke

If the smoke and fire damage has affected your belongings, we work with you and your insurance company to determine what can be restored and what will be an insurance replacement claim. 

Items to be restored are inventoried, barcoded, packed and transported to our climate-controlled facility for cleaning, deodorization, and storage at our while your home or business is under repair.  

Cleaning your belongings

Ultrasonic cleaning is effective when cleaning items of complicated detail. The ultrasonic machine works by producing high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves clean in the intricate details of contaminated items. A variety of household contents can be cleaned using ultrasonics including valuables (jewelry, crystal, china, antiques), collections (vases, figurines, coin collections), electrical & electronic (small kitchen appliances, children’s toys).

Smoke Odor Reduction

Smoke odor reduction techniques vary according to the source of fire and affected materials. We will employ tools and techniques from our odor reduction arsenal including negative air and containment, deodorization, ozone, sealing, and thermal fogging.
