Fire and smoke damage assessment

So, our technicians investigate the basement and attic for heat, smoke, soot, and water damage. Based on the observation, a detailed report is created, revealing the cause of the fire and ensuing losses. It also includes repair and replacement requirements.
Work area preparation
If the drywall demands repair, our team will carry all the necessary tools, such as a putty knife, drywall saw, drill, dust mask, trowel, drywall tape, sandpaper, utility knife, and more. Before starting on the drywall, the area is cleaned of water, debris, and soot. It helps create a safe working environment. Air scrubbers and commercial dehumidifiers often come in handy in this.
