Fire Damage Restoration & Repair

Fire Damage Recovery Services

After a fire, the first priority is to thoroughly assess the extent of the damage and secure the property to prevent further harm. This crucial step involves:

  1. Comprehensive Documentation: We leverage advanced tools like floor plan apps to meticulously document the fire's impact. Our team creates detailed sketches, annotates areas of concern, and captures photographic evidence, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the damage.
  2. Safety Evaluation: Before entering the premises, we collaborate with fire authorities and conduct a thorough safety assessment. This includes:
  3. Examining the exterior for structural integrity, compromised roofing, walls, or entry points.
  4. Checking for potential hazards like exposed electrical wiring, gas leaks, or unstable structures.
  5. Evaluating the property's systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) for any issues requiring immediate attention.
  6. Damage Assessment: Our experts systematically inspect every room, identifying areas affected by water, soot, smoke, and heat. We assess the condition of contents and structures, determining what can be restored and what needs replacement.
  7. Securing the Property: To prevent further damage and unauthorized access, we take proactive measures:
  8. Ventilating the premises while securing entry points with boarding and tarping.
  9. Relocating salvageable belongings to a safe, well-ventilated area.
  10. Removing valuable items like documents, jewelry, and sentimental possessions to a secure location.
  11. Considering partial or complete move-outs to protect larger furniture and appliances.
  12. Installing temporary fencing, alarms, and surveillance systems as needed.

Throughout this process, we maintain open communication with homeowners, providing transparent assessments and recommendations tailored to their unique situation.

Water Removal and Drying

Fires often lead to significant water damage from firefighting efforts or burst pipes. Prompt water removal and drying are crucial to prevent further deterioration and secondary issues like mold growth. Our comprehensive approach includes:

  1. Water Extraction: Using powerful truck-mounted and portable extraction units, we quickly remove standing water from the premises. This process minimizes moisture absorption into porous materials, reducing the risk of structural damage and microbial growth.
  2. Moisture Mapping: Our technicians employ advanced moisture detection equipment to identify and map areas with elevated moisture levels. This data guides our drying strategies, ensuring thorough and efficient drying.
  3. Structural Drying: We strategically position high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers to create an optimal drying environment. This controlled process accelerates evaporation, facilitating the removal of moisture from structural elements, contents, and hidden cavities.
  4. Monitoring and Adjustments: Our team closely monitors the drying process, making adjustments as needed to maintain optimal conditions. Regular moisture readings and inspections ensure complete drying, preventing potential long-term issues.

Throughout the water removal and drying phase, we prioritize minimizing disruptions and protecting salvageable contents. Our team works diligently to restore your property to its pre-loss condition, providing a safe and healthy environment for your return.

Cleanup and Deodorization

Cleanup and Deodorization: Restoring Your Property to a Safe and Livable Condition

After a fire, the aftermath can be overwhelming, with soot, smoke, and odors permeating every surface. At MRC Restoration, we understand the importance of thorough cleanup and deodorization to restore your property to a safe and livable condition. Our comprehensive process includes:

  1. Soot and Smoke Removal: Using specialized equipment and techniques, we meticulously remove soot and smoke residues from walls, ceilings, floors, and surfaces. Our team employs HEPA-filtered vacuums, chemical sponges, and agitation methods to ensure a thorough cleanup.
  2. Deodorization: Lingering odors from smoke and soot can be challenging to eliminate. We employ advanced deodorization techniques, including:
  3. Thermal fogging: This process disperses deodorizing agents in a dense fog, penetrating deep into porous materials and hard-to-reach areas.
  4. Ozone treatment: We utilize ozone generators to neutralize and eliminate persistent odors at the molecular level.
  5. Air scrubbers: These specialized machines filter and purify the air, removing airborne particles and odors.
  6. Content Restoration: Our team carefully evaluates and treats salvageable contents, such as furniture, electronics, and personal belongings. We employ specialized cleaning methods, including ultrasonic cleaning, immersion cleaning, and dry cleaning, to restore items to their pre-loss condition whenever possible.

Throughout the cleanup and deodorization process, we prioritize safety and environmental responsibility. Our technicians use EPA-approved, eco-friendly products and follow strict protocols to ensure your property is restored to a healthy and livable state.

Reconstruction and Restoration

After the initial assessment, securing, water removal, and cleanup phases, our focus shifts to reconstructing and restoring your property to its pre-loss condition. This comprehensive process involves:

  1. Demolition and Debris Removal: We carefully demolish and remove any unsalvageable materials, such as charred structural elements, damaged drywall, and flooring. Our team meticulously separates and disposes of debris, ensuring a clean and safe environment for the reconstruction phase.
  2. Structural Repairs and Rebuilding: Our skilled contractors address any structural damage, reinforcing or replacing compromised framing, roofing, and load-bearing elements. We adhere to the latest building codes and industry best practices, ensuring the integrity and safety of your property.
  3. Interior Restoration:
  4. Drywall and Surface Repairs: Our team replaces damaged drywall, plaster, and other surfaces, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish for painting or other finishes.
  5. Flooring Installation: We assess the condition of existing flooring and, if necessary, install new flooring materials that complement your property's style and meet your preferences.
  6. Cabinetry and Millwork: Our skilled craftsmen repair or replace damaged cabinetry, trim, and millwork, restoring the aesthetic appeal of your property.
  7. Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC Systems: We coordinate with licensed professionals to inspect, repair, or replace any compromised systems, ensuring they meet current codes and operate efficiently.
  8. Painting and Finishes: Our team meticulously prepares surfaces and applies high-quality paints and finishes, restoring the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere of your property.
  9. Content Reinstallation: Once the reconstruction is complete, we carefully reinstall your salvaged belongings, furniture, and personal items, ensuring they are properly cleaned, deodorized, and restored to their original condition.
  10. 

Throughout the reconstruction and restoration process, we maintain open communication, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns you may have. Our goal is to ensure your property is restored to its pre-loss condition, allowing you to return to a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment.
