Rebuild Your Peace of Mind When Disaster Strikes

Fires are one of the most catastrophic disasters your home can face. One call to Valley Restoration immediately begins the process of recovery. We take a comprehensive approach to fire damage, addressing the three major types that impact homes:

Thermal injury to and/or destruction of belongings and infrastructure
Lingering smoke and odor
Water damage from extinguishing the fire

No matter the extent of the damage, Valley Restoration will work to restore your home to its previous condition. Our priority is your long-term peace of mind.

24/7 Emergency Fire Damage Restoration Services

Fire restoration requires a working knowledge of the structural components of a building, odor control techniques, and specialized cleaning procedures and products. The Valley Restoration fire team understands how heat, smoke, and soot affect the structure, as well as any personal belongings left inside.

Once our team ensures your property is safe and identifies areas in need of cleanup and repair, we then salvage and clean as many items in your home as possible. From there, we perform any necessary demolition work, removing unsalvageable building materials and paving the way for repairs and reconstruction.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

Initial Emergency Contact

Call us, and we’ll arrive on the scene as soon as possible, ready to assess the fire damage and prepare for restoration.

Extensive Inspection

Our team conducts an extensive evaluation of your home’s fire damage, identifying the stages of damage and documenting accordingly.

Content Cleanout and Storage

After the inspection, we remove and properly store all items from the affected area. Clearing the space of belongings allows us to prepare the property for restoration.

Dehumidification and Deodorization

Our technicians work efficiently to remove any water from fire extinguishers and dehumidify the area. We then tackle odor containment, ensuring the space has proper ventilation.

Cleaning and Preservation of Salvageable Items

We’ll store any salvageable items safely and clean all surfaces of soot and debris.

Restoration

Once your space is cleaned, our team can begin the restoration process. We’ll repair and reconstruct any damaged structural property, returning your home to its original condition.

Smoke and Soot Damage Removal

Smoke damage can spread almost as quickly as the fire itself. As part of the fire restoration process, the Valley Restoration team will evaluate the smoke damage as soon as we arrive and immediately begin mitigation procedures. We target five types of smoke and residue to ensure containment while replacing or restoring any damaged surfaces:

1. Wet Smoke Residue

Low heat and smoldering fires that leave behind smoke webs and a sticky residue. The pungent residue requires specialized care to fully remove.

2. Dry Smoke Residue

When fast fires burn at high temperatures, they leave behind powdery ash. While it doesn’t smear like wet smoke residue, it also has a pungent odor.

3. Protein Residue

Kitchen fires frequently leave behind protein residue from food and oils that ruin paint and varnishes if it isn’t removed quickly. Left unchecked, this type of residue can grow rancid and spread pathogens.

4. Fuel Oil Soot

When furnaces malfunction and puff back, they can distribute fuel oil soot in the space around it. This dangerous soot can spread stains, and even act as fuel for another fire.

5. Other Residues

Fire extinguishers, chemicals from firefighters, and fingerprint powder all leave behind residue that can cause damage.

We have thorough treatment plans to address every form of smoke residue and odor resulting from a house fire and its aftermath. Because our team looks for each type of residue, your home can avoid the long-term structural risks and odors of smoke residue.

How long does fire damage restoration take?

Minor fire damage may be restored in a matter of days, while extensive damage could take several months. The exact amount of time depends on the size and extent of the fire damage on a given property, as well as potential structural safety issues that require work.

How much does fire damage restoration cost?

The size and extent of the fire damage on a given property can complicate the cost of restoration efforts. Minor damage may be restored in a matter of days, while the worst structural damage can take up to a year to full restore, so individual restoration costs can vary greatly. Valley Restoration customers can expect a free estimate to avoid any surprise costs as well as direct correspondence and billing to insurance companies for accurate reimbursement.

Is anything salvageable after a fire?

Yes, items like clothing, glass, ceramic, hardwood flooring, and furniture can usually be salvaged if they were not directly exposed to a fire. Smoke, however, can easily penetrate these substances. Any items salvaged after a fire should be assessed and treated by a professional.

Can smoke damage be removed?

In some cases of minor smoke damage, you may be able to wash materials like plastics, wood, and marble to remove any stains and avoid irreversible harm. But a professional fire restoration company can assess more severe smoke damage and determine whether a given item or area of the property is repairable.

What is the first thing I should do after a fire?

First and foremost, you should make sure you, your family, and anyone else on the affected property is safe. No item is worth the cost of personal safety. Once the fire is out and the property deemed safe, you may want to start cataloging salvageable items and areas of the property. However, severe structural damage can put your home and any individuals inside it at risk. Valley Restoration is available 24/7 for emergency response, to begin immediate fire restoration efforts.
