Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Emergency Response and Property Securing We respond quickly to secure your property with board-up services for broken windows and damaged openings. Tarps protect exposed roofing. This immediate response prevents additional damage from weather, animals, or unauthorized entry.
Damage Assessment We conduct a thorough inspection documenting fire damage, smoke migration patterns, and water damage from suppression efforts. This assessment identifies structural concerns and determines the full scope of restoration needed.
Content Inventory and Pack-Out Salvageable belongings get inventoried, photographed, and moved to our facility for specialized cleaning. Total loss items are documented for your insurance claim. This protects your possessions during restoration work and allows us to clean contents using appropriate techniques.
Water Extraction and Drying Fire suppression often leaves standing water and saturated materials. We extract water and begin drying immediately to prevent mold growth. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers run until moisture levels return to normal.
Soot and Smoke Residue Removal Different types of fires create different soot compositions requiring specific cleaning methods. We use dry cleaning sponges, specialized detergents, and appropriate techniques for each surface type. This includes cleaning inside cabinets, closets, and other areas where smoke migrated.
Deep Cleaning of Structure and Systems HVAC systems, ductwork, and hidden spaces receive thorough cleaning to remove soot and smoke residues. If contaminants remain in these systems, they’ll continue releasing odors and particulates throughout your home.
Odor Elimination After cleaning, we use thermal foggers, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generators to eliminate remaining smoke odors. These treatments penetrate materials the way smoke originally did, neutralizing odors at their source rather than masking them.
Restoration and Reconstruction We rebuild fire-damaged areas, replace materials beyond repair, and restore your home to pre-loss condition or better. This includes structural repairs, drywall replacement, flooring installation, painting, and all finish work.
Common Fire Causes in Wellington Homes
Kitchen Fires Unattended cooking is the leading cause of house fires. Grease fires spread quickly, and many homeowners make situations worse by using water on grease fires. Range hood grease buildup can also ignite, spreading fire to cabinets and ceilings.
Electrical System Failures Older Wellington homes often have outdated electrical systems that weren’t designed for modern appliance loads. Overloaded circuits, deteriorated wiring, and inadequate service panels create fire risks. Aluminum wiring in some older homes poses particular hazards.
Lightning Strikes Wellington sees frequent, intense afternoon thunderstorms during the summer months. Lightning strikes can cause immediate fire or damage electrical systems in ways that cause fires hours or days later. Surge protection helps but doesn’t eliminate all risk.

Our documentation supports your position and helps achieve a fair settlement. We work directly with adjusters to answer questions and provide additional information as needed throughout the claims process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a fire? First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the property for entry. Contact your insurance company to report the claim. Then call us for emergency board-up and securing services. Don’t attempt to clean soot or smoke damage yourself, as improper methods can make damage worse or set stains permanently.
How long does fire restoration take? Timeline depends on fire extent and required repairs. Minor fires affecting one room might be restored in 2-3 weeks. Major fires requiring extensive reconstruction can take several months. We provide realistic timelines after assessing damage and developing a restoration plan.
How much does fire damage restoration cost? Costs vary dramatically based on fire size, smoke migration extent, and necessary reconstruction. Minor kitchen fires might cost $10,000-20,000 to restore, while major fires requiring extensive reconstruction can reach $100,000 or more. Insurance typically covers fire damage, so out-of-pocket costs depend on your deductible and policy limits.
