FIRE & SMOKE RESTORATION

Professional Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Fire damage is often more than what you see on the surface. Smoke residues, soot, char and combustion by products can penetrate deep into structural materials. A proper restoration requires an IICRC certified FSRT technician who understands how to stabilize the structure, classify residues, remove contamination and prevent secondary damage.

We follow IICRC S700 Standard for Professional Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration and integrate advanced tools including pulsed laser cleaning and BioSweep when appropriate.

Types of Fire & Smoke Damage We Handle

Structural Fire Damage

  • Charred framing

  • Damaged structural components

  • Heat‑affected materials

  • Smoke‑impacted cavities

Smoke & Soot Damage

  • Dry soot

  • Wet soot

  • Protein residues

  • Fuel‑oil soot

  • Plastics and synthetic combustion residues

Each residue type requires a different cleaning method.

Odor & Contamination

  • Smoke odor

  • Protein odor

  • Burnt plastics

  • Combustion by‑products

  • Hidden cavity contamination

We use a combination of mechanical cleaning, negative air, HEPA filtration and odor neutralization techniques. All in accordance with the IICRC S700 Standard for Professional Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration.

Our Fire Restoration Process

1. Assessment & Stabilization

  • Safety checks

  • Structural assessment

  • Residue identification

  • Corrosion mitigation

  • Stabilizing equipment set up

2. Removal of Damaged Materials

  • Charred material removal

  • Debris removal

  • Selective demolition

  • Exposure of hidden cavities

3. Cleaning & Decontamination

We use multiple cleaning methods depending on the material and residue type:

  • Dry cleaning

  • Wet cleaning

  • HEPA vacuuming

  • Chemical sponges

  • Alkaline cleaners

  • Odor neutralizing agents

  • Laser cleaning

4. Odor Removal

  • Source removal

  • Mechanical cleaning

  • Air filtration

  • Odor‑neutralizing products

  • Cavity cleaning

  • Pressure driven odor control (when required)

5. Final Verification

  • Visual inspection

  • Surface cleanliness checks as detailed in the S700

  • Odor assessment

Laser Cleaning Integration

Laser cleaning is not a replacement for traditional fire restoration in all circumstances, it’s an advanced tool used when the material and conditions are right.

Laser cleaning is ideal for:

  • Brick

  • Concrete

  • Painted surfaces

  • Heavy soot and corrosion

  • Heritage surfaces

  • Architectural details

It removes contamination without blasting media, chemicals or significantly affecting the substrate. For more detailed information on pulse laser cleaning check out Canadian Laser Clean.
