Fire, Smoke, and Soot Damage Services
Commercial Fire Restoration
We provide fire damage restoration services for both homes and commercial properties. Our team responds quickly to assess damage, stabilize the site, and begin the cleanup and recovery process.
Smoke and Soot
Cleanup
Smoke and soot can spread far beyond the source of the fire. We clean affected surfaces, remove residue, and help restore areas impacted by smoke damage throughout the property.
Board-ups
After a fire, exposed openings can leave your property vulnerable. We provide board-up services to secure the structure from weather, intrusion, and additional damage during restoration.
Demolition
Damaged materials often need to be removed before repairs can move forward. We handle controlled demolition to clear unsafe or unsalvageable areas and prepare the property for restoration.
Contents Cleaning
and Pack-out
Belongings affected by fire, smoke, and soot may still be recoverable. We pack out and clean salvageable contents to help protect, organize, and restore important items.
Odor Removal
Lingering smoke odors often require more than surface cleaning. We provide prfoessional odor removal services to help fully restore your property after fire damage.
Dryco | Our Process for Fire Damage
Board-up & Secure
When a fire leaves your home or business exposed to the outside elements, you become vulnerable to further damage from problematic weather and allow unwanted third parties into your property. Dryco’s construction team is always on-call and ready to handle emergency board-ups no matter the time, the place, or the area needing to be secured. Once your property is secure, we begin removing hazardous materials and installing temporary measures such as structural adjustments, supplemental energy/power, and heat solutions that get you started on the road to recovery.
Contents Pack-out
Next, we remove your belongings, pack them neatly into our storage vessels, and bring them to our in-house cleaning facility. At Dryco, we implement esporta cleaning technology in our contents recovery division. Their machines allow us to remove more soot and carcinogens from your most prized belongings, and restore more of what’s important.
Mitigation & Cleaning
Once all necessary contents and materials are removed, we work towards getting your home or business ready for reconstruction. Cleaning what will inevitably be reused during your rebuild, removing what cannot be cleaned in order to replace it, and deodorizing all affected areas. We finish this stage when your property is a clean slate for reconstruction, and no odor remains. We seal all materials that were cleaned and restored to prevent any future issues of odor or structural breakdown.
Contents Return & Final Cleaning
Your reconstruction is complete, and your home or business is ready to be filled once more. We perform a “pack-back” with all of your refurbished belongings, as well as a final cleaning. This marks the final stage in the fire recovery process, and you can finally breathe easy once your house is returned to its pre-loss condition.
Whether insurance claim or individual pay, Dryco will make sure that your property is restored both cost-effectively, and according to a set schedule. Our top priority is getting your life back to normal, quickly and correctly.
Smoke and Soot Damage Restoration
Not every fire levels your home or business, and oftentimes minor fires happen that serve as severe inconveniences rather than life changing events. No matter the circumstance, a fire brings with it harmful smoke and soot that can spread throughout your property and leave hard to find but easy to smell residue on anything and everything it touches.
If you have smoke damage within your property and on your belongings, it may be a more daunting task than you expect to clean and deodorize the multitude of materials, structures, and contents you possess. Dryco uses industry leading equipment, technology, and practices to remove smoke and soot for good.
How Dryco Cleans Smoke and Soot Damage:
Our Process for Smoke and Soot Damage
Source Removal
Our team will perform demolition of the materials, cleaning of the surfaces, and removal of the contents affected by smoke and soot damage to eliminate the primary source of odor. This is the most important stage in the process, as without proper source removal, odor will continue to affect your property.
Mechanical Breakdown
Next, our team uses equipment to remove or break down the remaining smoke and soot. This stage includes the use of HEPA vacuuming, cleaning with “soot sponges” and lambswool dusters, and a thorough scrubbing with degreasers or mild detergents. Air scrubbers with specialized odor filters help to eliminate lingering smells still present after cleaning and demolition are complete.
Chemical Breakdown
For especially difficult odors, Dryco employs highly technical chemical solutions which further work towards ridding your home or business of powerful-smelling odor. During this stage, we can disrupt the physical composition of the odor through chemical fogging, ozoning, and liquid oxidizers which make the odor more susceptible to being wiped out, once and for all.
Seal
Finally, When complete source removal and the long-term integrity of your smoke and soot issue has been resolved, we can seal the affected areas to ensure any harmful substances are kept concealed for good. This stage is critical for the preservation of your property and belongings as it ensures our restoration will stand the test of time.
