Emergency Fire & Smoke Damage Scenarios

Urgent situations where quick mitigation and coordinated cleanup prevent long-term losses.

Kitchen Grease Fire With Extensive Smoke Contamination

A grease fire set off suppression systems and left oily soot across kitchen finishes and HVAC pathways. Rapid mitigation minimized content loss and prevented smoke migration to living spaces.

Our Solutions:

  • Immediate ventilation and containment
  • Dry sponge and HEPA cleaning of soot-prone surfaces
  • Thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment for odor control
  • Pack-out of heavily contaminated contents for off-site cleaning

Fire Suppression Water and Smoke Spread Across Multiple Rooms

Firefighting water flooded multiple rooms while smoke and soot deposited across textiles and HVAC registers. Coordinated water removal and smoke remediation were required to restore safe occupancy.

Our Solutions:

  • Separate water-impacted zones from smoke-affected zones
  • Rapid extraction and dehumidification to halt secondary damage
  • Specialized soot cleaning and odor removal workflows
  • Documentation for insurance and rebuild planning

Hidden Smoldering Fire Produces Widespread Smoke Penetration

A smoldering electrical fire in concealed cavities created pervasive smoke penetration into adjacent rooms and voids. Full access, selective demolition, and multi-stage deodorization were necessary.

Our Solutions:

  • Expose hidden cavities for thorough cleaning and drying
  • HEPA filtration and negative air during remediation
  • Thermal fogging plus hydroxyl generators for stubborn odors
  • Coordinate structural repairs after clearance testing
