Commercial Fire & Soot Damage Restoration

Our emergency response crew was dispatched following an after-hours electrical fire that filled a commercial facility with thick, corrosive smoke. Upon arrival, technicians encountered heavy soot film across walls, ceiling grids, and HVAC ducting, along with structural charring near the origin zone. Compounding the loss, the property owner faced immediate insurance red tape and strict adjuster documentation demands before mitigation work could be officially authorized.

Our team took charge by providing comprehensive thermal imaging, soot mapping, and line-item Xactimate estimates directly to the insurance carrier, expediting claim approval without delay. To execute recovery, we set up sealed containment zones under negative pressure and deployed HEPA air scrubbers. Technicians utilized soda-blasting to safely lift severe charring from structural wall framing without compromising wood strength, while chemical sponges neutralized acidic soot deposits on metal fixtures and glass.

To conquer persistent smoke odors trapped within building materials, we ran hydroxyl generators and executed thermal fogging across the entire interior envelope. The comprehensive restoration process eliminated all toxic particulate matter and persistent smoke odors, leaving the commercial property completely sanitized, structurally sound, and fully restored for immediate rebuild.
