Providing Fire Damage Restoration in McLean

First, the home suffered a major fire which heavily affected most of its structure. To make matters worse, it was packed full of contents, many of which were destroyed by the fire and smoke.

Furthermore, because the fire damaged the home’s windows, walls, and roof, our crew had to secure the remaining property by boarding it up and provide roof-tarp services on day one, during the night. This helped keep the home and its contents safe from intruders and the elements.

After that, we sifted through and packed out any salvageable items in the home. Although the fire was large, some contents were still able to be rescued. As there were so many various contents, it took us three full days to pack out every salvageable item.

Once completely cleared out, we moved on to the last stage of the fire damage restoration process. We removed any remaining dust and debris from items and surfaces. Our team also cleaned up the soot thoroughly using a variety of EPA-approved cleaning solutions. Then, we used ozone generators and hydroxyl generators to eliminate any lingering biological and chemical pollutants, as well as smoke odors.

When we finished the job, the family was very happy to see the results. With all of the soot and smoke odor gone, their home was in a safe state and ready to be repaired. They even said they were lucky that they found us on Google!
