Our Proven Fire Damage Assessment Process
Assessment and planning are critical steps for effective fire damage restoration. We understand that even a small fire can lead to long-term structural damage and result in costly losses.
Once firefighting efforts are complete, contacting our restoration professionals gives you the best chance of recovering your property. The first step in an effective restoration plan is performing a thorough fire damage assessment and planning the remediation.
With over 50 years of experience, we follow a proven process to reduce losses.
Inspection of Structural, Smoke, and Water Damage
The first step is to perform a comprehensive fire damage assessment, assessing the immediate and potential long-term impacts of your fire. From water damage to addressing smoke and soot damage, we'll assess all areas of your property.
This includes the structural elements, including the roof, floor, and ceiling, as well as load-bearing components.
Instead of just performing a visual inspection, we use specialist tools such as moisture meters to detect hidden mold spores and assess HVAC systems.
Our main objective here is to identify both primary and secondary fire damage.
Safety Evaluation
Fires can pose significant safety hazards even after the flames are extinguished. Our technicians are highly experienced in conducting comprehensive risk assessments that identify key areas of concern.
Our evaluations uncover weakened structural components, gas risks, damage to electrical systems, and potentially dangerous residues. We'll also identify safety hazards from mold growth.
Where safety and health hazards are identified, we'll recommend measures to stabilize the site, including restricted access, using temporary supports, and developing a mold remediation plan.
Fire Damage Documentation for Insurance
Insurance claims are notoriously complex, and you may feel like you're in a never-ending battle with the company. Our services include detailed damage assessment documentation, including written descriptions, photographs, and technical observations.
We'll prepare the documentation with insurance requirements in mind, ensuring we can support your claim and reduce delays. A technician will also meet the insurance adjuster on-site to clearly explain any repair costs.
Fire Restoration Plan Development
Every fire damage restoration plan we create is fully tailored to your property's requirements. Our experts outline the recommended steps for remediation, cleaning, repair, and reinstatement, and identify key priorities.
Each remediation plan assesses structural integrity, drying requirements, contamination levels, and the steps required to protect the building.
Our plans comply with building standards and ensure your property is restored to its pre-damage condition.

FAQs
Fire damage assessments should take place as soon as it's deemed safe to enter the property. Smoke, soot, and water damage can continue to cause deterioration, even after the flames are extinguished.
When we can complete an assessment quickly, your property is more likely to make a full recovery.
Our fire damage assessments include an initial inspection to assess visible damage and further checks to spot hidden damage.
We use advanced tools such as moisture meters, air-quality testing equipment, and thermal imaging cameras to detect issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Once we understand the scope of your damage, you'll receive a full report.
Yes, we do. Our specialists will create a clear report detailing the level of damage and the necessary repairs to make the insurance claims process easier. A technician will also meet the insurance adjuster on-site to ensure you get an appropriate payment.
In many cases, we can also bill your insurance provider directly, simplifying the process.
It depends on your property's size and the extent of the damage. For example, a small house fire is usually less extreme than a large commercial fire that damages multiple areas.
Some assessments take a few hours, while others require detailed inspections that may take longer. Once we review the initial damage, we'll provide an estimate.
