Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fire damage cleanup is not a DIY project! Only certified professionals with the proper training and equipment should clean up the soot and debris left over by a fire. At Lake Elsinore Water Damage, we are IICRC Certified for fire damage cleanup and have the tools and safety equipment needed to restore your home or business safely.

Soot and smoke is a very acidic substance and it will eat away at surfaces it comes in contact with, causing discoloration and even etching into the surface. The IICRC gives the following timeline for fire damage cleanup:

The first step in the cleanup process is to contain the site. You do not want, for example, soot from a kitchen fire to get into your living room and bedrooms! We can set up room containment systems, such as with tarping, and also offer board up services.

Next we will remove as much solid debris as possible. Ash can be vacuumed up with special machines which keep all particles contained and do not disrupt the scene. Afterwards, we can begin the process of removing damaged items for disposal. They should not be thrown out until the insurance adjuster has had a chance to look at them. Our teams are training in general construction so they can remove affected walls, carpets, and structures without making a mess.

Smoke Damage Cleanup and Restoration

There are two types of smoke: oily and dry. Each type requires its own method of removal, so it is important that you have a cleanup technician who is familiar with smoke damage and can identify the different types. Our technicians are all IICRC certified and have years of experience in the industry removing smoke.

To get rid of smoke smells, we can use deodorizing agents which neutralize (not cover up) the smell. Smells can also be removed from the air with the help of our HEPA air scrubber. We will get your home smelling fresh again in no time!
