Fire Damage Remediation & Fire Repair
When you are first conducting your damage assessment and inventory, you may think that the damage from fire caused to your home or business could result in a total loss. But you may be surprised at what a professional and experienced fire damage repair service can do to fix fire damage and restore your home and possessions to their original condition. At Restoration 911, we have developed a multi-step process for cleaning up the damage from fire and smoke damage, soot removal, and repairing and restoring your property to its pristine livable state.
Ironically, the water used to extinguish the fire can sometimes cause as much or more damage than the fire itself. The first step in our damage restoration process is to clean up the water and fire fighting chemicals used in extinguishing the fire. If left untreated, these may cause floorboards and wall studs to warp and become unstable. We begin with high-powered wet shop vacuuming to manually remove any standing water and moisture from carpets, wood, and furniture. Next, we use powerful fans and dehumidifiers to extract embedded moisture from timbers, furniture, and carpeting. Removing water can help restore your home and possessions, and can prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from growing and creating hazardous and inhospitable conditions in your home. We also have the capability to repair, dye, and stretch your carpets to their original size and conditions, fire damage remediation and water damage remediation can go hand in hand.
After the water has been removed, we move on to fire damage repairs. We remove charred building timbers and furniture that has been completely consumed. The expert carpenters and repair contractors on our staff can cut, shape, and replace damaged studs and floorboards. If you live in or around Saratoga, Hayward or Palo Alto then Restoration 911 can provide you with a fast and free estimate to repair your fire damage and meet your fire damage remediation needs.
Damage from smoke and soot can be as devastating as damage form fire. Smoke can leave harmful chemical traces and foul odors in clothing, drapes, and carpets. We use professional strength deodorizers and cleansers to remove the smoke residue and soot from your walls and furniture. Our chemical agents are powerful enough for total soot removal, but mild enough to keep from damaging delicate wallpaper and painted walls.

Smoke Damage Remediation and Soot Removal
While you may think of damage from fire as being the most devastating part of a house fire, in most cases it is the smoke and soot that are more damaging to property and structures, and most hazardous to people in the long run. Smoke contains chemicals that smell bad and can cause damage to people's lungs, and soot is a greasy substance that can stain and damage your walls, furniture and linens. An experienced professional fire damage repair service like Restoration 911 can remove the invisible odors and chemicals of smoke damage, and perform detailed and thorough soot removal.
You may have heard that, during a fire, smoke is more dangerous to people than fire, because smoke can make it difficult to see and breathe. That is because smoke rises and quickly fills a room from the top down. If you breathe in too much smoke during a fire, you could easily suffocate. After the fire has been extinguished, the smoke that spent all that time on the walls and ceiling can leave deposits of harmful carcinogenic chemicals embedded in your walls. Even after the soot and other visible traces of smoke damage are cleared, invisible chemicals can leave lingering odors and harmful chemicals. Our thorough deep cleaning process removes these chemical traces entirely so that your family can be secure in the knowledge that no harmful traces are left embedded in your walls and ceilings.
Soot is the result of wood and other fuels not being completely consumed by fire. During a fire, soot rises as fine particles of carbon and trace chemicals. As the fire is extinguished and the air cools, soot is deposited on any available surface as a greasy stain that can leave lasting smudges on anything it touches. Removing soot requires delicate and detailed work. Santa Rosa and Mountain View ares along with Santa Rosa and Oakland are all well within the Restoration 911 extended fire damage restoration service area. Experienced professional fire damage repair services like Restoration 911 can quickly and thoroughly remove soot and restore your walls and property to their former condition. Inexperienced or poor soot removal can result in worse damage than just leaving it alone.
