What is fire damage restoration?

Fire damage restoration is the full process of returning a property to pre-fire condition. It includes securing the building, removing debris, cleaning soot and smoke residue, eliminating odour, drying water from firefighting, and repairing or rebuilding damaged structure and finishes.

A fire is one of the hardest things a family or business owner can go through. Even after the flames are out, damage keeps spreading. Soot is acidic and starts to stain and corrode surfaces within hours. Smoke travels through vents into rooms the fire never touched. The water used to fight the fire soaks walls and floors.

Our Prince George team moves quickly to stop that secondary damage, then restores your property carefully and completely. We explain every step and work directly with your insurance adjuster so you can focus on your family or your business.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQ

How long does fire damage restoration take?

Small kitchen fires and smoke damage can often be cleaned in a few days to two weeks. Larger fires that need demolition and rebuilding can take several weeks to a few months. We give you a clear timeline after the inspection and keep you updated as the work moves forward.

Is it safe to stay in my house after a small fire?

Not until the fire department clears it and the air is checked. Smoke and soot particles can irritate lungs, and there may be hidden electrical or structural damage. If the damage is limited to one area, we can often contain it so you can stay in the rest of the home.

What can be saved after a house fire?

More than most people expect. Many hard surfaces, furniture, clothing, documents and electronics can be cleaned and deodorized. Items that are charred, melted or soaked with contaminated water usually need to be replaced. We inventory everything for your insurance claim.

How do you remove smoke smell from a house?

We clean soot and residue from every affected surface, including inside cabinets and ducts, then use professional deodorization such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl or ozone treatment where appropriate, and HEPA air scrubbing. Removing the residue at the source is what keeps the smell from coming back.

Does home insurance cover smoke damage from wildfires?

Many BC home insurance policies cover smoke damage, including smoke from a nearby wildfire, but coverage varies. Contact your insurer to confirm. We can inspect and document smoke damage to support your claim.
