Fire damage restoration is the process of cleaning, repairing, and restoring a property after a fire. This includes removing smoke odor, soot, and debris, cleaning salvageable items, repairing structural elements, and restoring the home to a safe, livable condition. The process often begins with a thorough assessment and may involve water damage restoration due to firefighting efforts. It’s a critical step in recovering from a fire and ensuring the safety and comfort of occupants.
