What's included
What Commercial Fire Damage Restoration Includes
Every commercial fire loss is different, but most projects include the following phases. We customize the scope based on your building and insurance coverage. Add-on services like document restoration or mold remediation are quoted separately if needed.
Emergency Board-Up and Tarping
We secure windows, doors, and roofs within hours of arrival. This prevents weather damage, theft, and further smoke penetration. Board-up materials are included in the initial service call.
Water Extraction and Structural Drying
Firefighting water is extracted with truck-mounted units. We place dehumidifiers and air movers to dry drywall, framing, and subfloors. Daily moisture readings ensure drying meets IICRC standards.
Soot and Smoke Residue Removal
We vacuum soot with HEPA vacuums and wipe surfaces with soot sponges. Ductwork is cleaned and sealed. Porous materials that cannot be saved are removed and disposed of properly.
Odor Neutralization
Hydroxyl generators and ozone treatments neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level. We treat the entire building, including HVAC systems. Charcoal filters capture remaining particles.
Structural Repairs and Rebuild
Our licensed contractors replace drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and roofing. We pull permits and coordinate inspections. Your building is restored to pre-fire condition or better.
Service overview

The service timeline
Our Commercial Fire Restoration Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency Response
We arrive within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. First priority is safety: we shut off utilities, assess structural stability, and board up openings. If the roof is compromised, we install tarps to prevent further water intrusion. You get a written scope and photo documentation within 4 hours.
Damage Assessment
Using thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, we map fire damage behind walls and water saturation from firefighting. We test soot residue on every surface. This assessment takes 2 to 4 hours for a typical 5,000-square-foot commercial space and determines the full scope of work.
Water Extraction and Drying
Firefighting leaves hundreds of gallons of water in your building. We extract standing water, then place dehumidifiers and air movers to dry structural materials. Drying typically takes 3 to 5 days. We monitor moisture daily and adjust equipment until readings meet IICRC S500 standards.
Soot and Smoke Removal
We remove charred debris, vacuum soot with HEPA vacuums, and wipe surfaces with soot sponges. Ductwork gets cleaned and sealed. For odor, we run hydroxyl generators or ozone treatments for 24 to 72 hours. All porous materials that cannot be saved are bagged and removed.
Reconstruction and Final Walkthrough
Our licensed contractors replace drywall, insulation, flooring, and paint. We coordinate inspections and obtain your certificate of occupancy. A final walkthrough with you and your adjuster confirms all work is complete. Most commercial rebuilds finish 2 to 4 weeks after drying is complete.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Used to detect hidden fire damage behind walls and ceilings. These cameras reveal temperature differences that indicate char, hot spots, or moisture.
Moisture Meters
Measure water content in drywall, wood, and concrete. We use them to map firefighting water and monitor drying progress daily.
Air Scrubbers and HEPA Vacuums
Capture airborne soot and smoke particles. HEPA vacuums are used on surfaces, while air scrubbers run continuously during cleanup.
Hydroxyl Generators
Neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level. Safe for occupied spaces and effective on deep-seated odors in porous materials.
Ozone Generators
Used for severe odor cases when the building is unoccupied. Ozone penetrates materials and destroys odor-causing molecules.
Dehumidifiers and Air Movers
Remove moisture from the air and accelerate evaporation from wet materials. Essential for preventing mold after firefighting.
Drywall Saws and Pry Bars
Used to cut away charred drywall and remove damaged materials. Careful demolition protects adjacent structures.
Use cases
When to Call for Commercial Fire Damage Restoration
