After the Fire: Our Restoration Process
Once the fire is extinguished, your home may face extensive damage from both the fire itself and the water used to fight it. Here’s how H&L Contractors can help restore your property:
Emergency Contact
Restoration starts with your call. Our team will ask key questions about the fire to ensure we arrive prepared with the tools and personnel to address your specific situation quickly.
Detailed Inspection and Assessment
We will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your property, including nearby rooms, to evaluate the damage from fire, smoke, and soot. This assessment is critical for developing a customized restoration plan.
Securing the Property
Fire can leave your property vulnerable, with broken windows, damaged walls, and compromised roofs. To prevent further damage and enhance security, we’ll board up windows, cover walls, and place tarps over roof damage.
Water Removal and Drying (if required)
If water damage has occurred, we’ll promptly extract the bulk of the water. Afterward, dehumidifiers and air movers will be used to thoroughly dry the area and prevent further issues.
Smoke and Soot Cleaning
Our team will use advanced equipment and methods to thoroughly remove smoke and soot from affected surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and other structural elements.
Cleaning and Deodorizing
We’ll clean and sanitize any salvageable items and surfaces, using specialized techniques to bring them back to their original condition. Odor removal is achieved through the use of professional-grade air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
Full Restoration
The final phase is restoring your property to its original state. This may involve smaller tasks such as painting and drywall replacement or larger reconstruction projects depending on the extent of the damage.
