Livermore, CA Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

The first steps that our professionals take when reaching a property suffering fire damage are critical to protecting a Livermore property and its occupants. From options taken to secure and relocate contents to cleaning soot residues from surfaces, the fire restoration process is intricate. Before job scoping and damage assessment, emergency services occur to address the most pressing concerns of a damaged residence, such as debris on the floor and circulating contaminants.  

How Can Soot and Smoke Residues Get Removed from Livermore Homes? 

Cleaning up after a fire disaster can be one of the most challenging aspects of restoration and recovery. With a population of more than 90,000 people in the city alone, our position in Alameda County sees multiple types of fire damages every year. We have numerous strategies for removing surface soot and smoke residue concerns. Choosing among these strategies involves a careful assessment of the damage. Our technicians can identify the most practical removal techniques to preserve underlying materials whenever possible. Some of these efforts include: 

  • Surface cleaning
  • Media blasting
  • Controlled demolition 

Is Deodorization Possible for Livermore?  

One of the telling signs that a fire damage incident has recently occurred in your home or business is an overwhelming odor from combustion. Addressing these concerns means appropriately cleaning the property, as well as implementing specific deodorization practices and products. Foggers and hydroxyl generators are safe tools to use for this process.

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
