FIRE DAMAGE
A destructive force all on its own, the damage caused by a fire is often amplified and exacerbated by the secondary impacts of heat, smoke, soot build-up, and toxic odors, as well as the water or dry chemicals used to put out the flames. Even in rooms untouched by flames, the smoke can cause smells that permeate finished and unfinished wood, walls and ceilings, furniture, and carpet, while soot and other acidic compounds that corrode metal items like pipes, kitchen fittings, and appliances can be carried throughout the building.

Dealing with Fire Damage
Fire restoration—the process of returning fire and smoke-damaged property to its pre-loss condition—is multi-phased and multi-faceted and typically begins within the first 24-48 hours of a fire, if not sooner. Even a small fire can cause significant damage and create serious health and safety risks, so it’s important to have your property and belongings assessed, protected, cleaned, and restored by a professional as soon as possible to prevent corrosion, staining, mold, and toxins.
At Phoenix Restoration & Construction, we follow a detailed process that can be initiated the minute we get on-site and is designed to ensure as much property is recovered as possible, as quickly as possible.
Here’s what you can expect if you suffer fire damage.
- Property assessment. We’ll come out and assess the damage caused by fire, smoke, heat, and water, including how extensive the cleanup will be and how far the flames and smoke have penetrated the structure. We’ll thoroughly inspect the property.
We’ll also assess your contents and property for recovery based on:
- Replacement cost vs restoration cost
- Effect of smoke and heat
- Loss of use or value
- Decreased life expectancy
- Sentimental value
- Restoration plan. We’ll draw up an initial restoration plan, including the scope of work and an estimate of how long it will take and how much it will cost. Because water is often used to extinguish the flames, fire and water damage recovery often occur concurrently after a fire.
- Security. Boarding and tarping up vulnerable areas of the property, like windows, walls, and roofs, helps protect your remaining possessions and keep water and weather out. We’ll also remove any standing or residual water to limit further damage and prevent hazards and stabilize the structure to allow for recovery of as much property and contents as possible.
- Demolition. We’ll remove everything we can’t salvage or restore, like damaged drywall, flooring, and other materials. We’ll also make sure to safely and effectively remove disturbed hazards like lead and asbestos.
- Clean up. If it can be salvaged, we’ll clean it using deodorizing agents and special cleaners to remove smoke damage and soot that has accumulated on surfaces like ceilings, floors, walls, and in ducts.
6. Restoration and renovation. From replacing electrical, flooring, and drywall to rebuilding roofs and salvaging sentimental pieces, we’ll do whatever it takes to get you, your home, and your life back to pre-loss condition or better.

FAQ's
Damage from the flames, heat, and smoke produced by a fire can extend well beyond the areas of the building that were actually ablaze, especially in structural integrity and air quality, so it’s important not to re-enter the property or begin any kind of clean up or repair until you’re told it’s safe to do so. Soot and smoke, as well as the water and/or dry chemicals used to extinguish the flames, can have toxins, contaminants, microbes, and other particulate matter that can be extremely hazardous to your health if inhaled, and you shouldn’t attempt to turn on utilities like gas, water, or lights in the event their safety features have been compromised.
If your home or business experiences fire damage, call Phoenix Construction. Our professionals have the proper equipment and skills to safely begin the recovery process. We’ll work quickly and efficiently to inspect your property, create a restoration plan, and complete a detailed inventory.
