Replace Burned Objects

The first step in fire restoration is to replace the burned objects.

This includes appliances, carpets, curtains & furniture.

Items that are partially burnt can be reused, while others that are irredeemable should be replaced. When in doubt - consult your insurance agent!

Clean Walls And Ceilings

Walls & ceilings suffer the most damage during the fire.

Using specialized cleaners remove the soot from the walls & ceilings.

Use chemical cleaners to handle hard substances.

Don’t forget de-odorizers!

Refinish the Cleaned Walls and Ceilings

If this is a DIY project - Paint the cleaned walls & ceilings.

The paint helps reduct the residual smoky smell.

If the walls & ceilings were damaged badly itmay be wise to use primer before painting.

Restore the Damaged Appliances

If any appliance/ fixture was damaged check it for safety before restoring it again.

Check the electrical components of the appliance.

If the appliance is usable but smoke stained - don’t forget you can repaint it with appliance paint!
