Soot, smell, and structure, handled in order.

How a fire & smoke job actually runs

1. 01

   Board-up

   If the structure isn't secure, that's first. Plywood over broken windows, tarps over roof openings. Same night for active emergencies.

2. 02

   Contents pack-out

   Salvageable items get inventoried, photographed, and packed out to our facility for off-site cleaning. Soot is acidic, and every hour matters.

3. 03

   Soot removal

   Dry-chemical sponges first, then chemical cleaning on hard surfaces. Smoke residue comes off in layers; we don't smear it deeper.

4. 04

   Air scrubbing

   HEPA air scrubbers run continuously to pull airborne particulate. Ozone or hydroxyl chamber treats fabrics for embedded smoke odor. Empty room only.

5. 05

   Reconstruction

   Framing where needed, drywall, primer, paint, trim. The same crew runs the rebuild that ran the mitigation.
