Smoke and Soot Removal

With the use of specialized equipment, our technicians will remove any lingering smoke and soot residues from surfaces.

Structural Assessment and Repairs

Next, our professionals will assess the structural integrity of the building and make repairs to its walls, floors, and ceilings if necessary.

Clean and Sanitize

We’ll thoroughly clean all of the structural elements, walls, and surfaces, then heavily sanitize to eliminate lingering odors and contaminants.

Odor Removal

Our company employs advanced techniques to effectively neutralize and eradicate lingering odors, including ozone treatments and thermal fogging.

Reconstruct and Rebuild
