Most house fires involve all three: fire damage to materials, fire suppression water, and smoke + soot damage. Each requires different chemistry and timing. We integrate all three into a single coordinated scope.
After a fire, a property has three distinct damage types: (1) Fire damage — charred structure and materials, (2) Suppression water damage from fire department response, and (3) Smoke and soot damage throughout the home from combustion byproducts. Each has different protocols and time windows.
The suppression water alone can be 1,000-5,000+ gallons. It needs immediate Cat 1 to Cat 2 protocols. Smoke embeds in porous materials within hours — especially acidic smoke from electrical/plastic fires. Fire damage requires structural assessment. Integrated scope coordinates all three protocols simultaneously rather than sequentially.
Charred materials, structural integrity check, demolition planning, coordination with fire investigation if needed.
1,000-5,000+ gallons typical from fire department response. Cat 1-2 protocols. Industrial-scale extraction.
Smoke-type-specific chemistry (wet/dry/protein/petroleum). HVAC duct decontamination. Hydroxyl or ozone deodorization.
Electrical/plastic fires produce acidic soot that etches surfaces within 24-72 hours. Time-critical response.
Salvageable contents inventoried, packed out, cleaned off-site. Chain-of-custody documentation.
