How We Restore Your Property
A structured process means nothing gets missed and your home gets back to pre-loss condition as quickly as possible.

We dispatch a crew immediately to assess damage, secure the property with board-up and roof tarping, and prevent further loss from weather or intruders.
02
Damage Assessment & Documentation
Our team thoroughly documents all structural and content damage with photos and detailed reports — which we use when coordinating with your insurance company on your behalf.
03
Smoke, Soot & Odor Mitigation
Using HEPA air scrubbers, thermal foggers, and professional-grade cleaning agents, we remove soot from every surface and eliminate smoke odor at the molecular level.
04
Contents & Storage Coordination
We coordinate delivery of a storage pod directly to your home so your belongings remain safe and accessible on-site throughout the restoration process — no off-site facility needed.

Structural Drying If needed
Firefighting water causes hidden moisture damage. We deploy industrial drying equipment and monitor moisture levels until everything reads dry and safe.

- Do not turn on HVAC — it spreads soot and smoke particles throughout the home.
- Avoid wiping or washing soot from walls — improper cleaning causes permanent staining.
- Document damage with photos before touching anything, if safe to do so.

Common Questions
Fire Damage FAQ
How quickly should I call after a fire?
Immediately. Smoke and soot continue to damage surfaces for days after a fire — porous materials like drywall, wood, and fabric absorb odor and acidic residue the longer they sit. Every hour counts.
Do you serve areas outside Salem and Silverton?
Yes — we serve a wide region stretching from the mid-Willamette Valley through the Portland Metro and into southern Washington, including Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, and more. If you're unsure whether you're in our area, just call — if we can reach you, we will.
Will my insurance cover fire and smoke restoration?
In most cases, yes. Fire damage is one of the most commonly covered perils in homeowner policies. We coordinate directly with your insurance company and adjuster to help move your claim forward.
What happens to my belongings during restoration?
We coordinate delivery of a storage pod right to your home. That way your belongings stay secure and accessible on-site throughout the process — no need to move them to an outside facility.
Can smoke damage be fully removed?
Yes — when treated properly. Our IICRC-certified technicians use industrial-grade equipment including ozone generators, thermal foggers, and hydroxyl machines to fully neutralize smoke odor, even in severe cases.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor smoke damage can be resolved in a few days. Full reconstruction after a major fire may take several weeks. We'll give you a detailed timeline at your free assessment.
