Fire damage restoration is a process aimed at returning a property to its pre-fire condition after a fire incident. This involves various steps, from assessing the extent of the damage to cleaning, repairing, and restoring the property.
Key Steps in Fire Damage Restoration:
1. Assessment and Inspection
Initial Inspection: A professional restoration team inspects the property to determine the extent of fire, smoke, and soot damage.
Documentation: Detailed documentation (photos, notes) is taken to assess the damage and for insurance purposes.
2. Securing the Property
Board-Up and Tarping: If the fire has caused structural damage, the property is secured with boards or tarps to prevent further damage from weather or unauthorized access.
3. Water Damage Mitigation
Water Removal: If water was used to extinguish the fire, water removal and drying processes are initiated to prevent mold and further damage.
Dehumidification: Specialized equipment is used to dry out the property.
4. Smoke and Soot Removal
Cleaning: Surfaces are cleaned to remove soot, smoke, and chemical residues. This can include walls, ceilings, furniture, and personal belongings.
Deodorization: Techniques such as thermal fogging or ozone treatment are used to remove smoke odors from the property.
5. Cleaning and Sanitization
Content Cleaning: Personal belongings and furniture are cleaned and sanitized.
Disposal: Items that are too damaged to be restored are removed and disposed of.
6. Restoration and Repair
Structural Repairs: Damaged structures (walls, floors, roofs) are repaired or replaced.
Reconstruction: In cases of severe damage, parts of the property may need to be reconstructed.
Final Cleaning: A thorough cleaning is done to ensure the property is safe and clean.
7. Final Inspection
Quality Check: A final inspection is conducted to ensure all work meets safety standards and the property is restored to its pre-damage condition.
8. Insurance Coordination
Insurance Claim Assistance: Restoration companies often work closely with insurance providers to streamline the claims process for the homeowner.

Real Customers. Really Great Reviews.
Great Advice!
“I had an unknown plumbing issue in my office that was going on for quite some time and caused some water damage on my flooring. Once I realized what was happening, I panicked thinking my office was covered in mold! I had no experience with these issues, and immediately found Certified Inspections on google and gave them a call. Mark was AMAZING! He is so knowledgable and gave me great advice right away! He even answered my questions about my insurance and what could possibly be covered with my policy! So thankful!”

Saved Us Thousands!
“When we were selling our house, the buyer’s home inspector told us we had a bad mold problem in the attic, but he never did any testing. We called Certified Inspections and they took several samples and found that the black stuff on the wood wasn’t even mold. They saved us thousands of dollars in cleaning costs and the deal went through. Thank you to Mark and Certified Inspections!!”

Mark is Amazing!
“Mark answers the calls and is so easy to reach. He was so informative, it was amazing. After having 2 mold tests done with different companies, we contacted Certified Inspections for an objective third party opinion Mark stayed on the phone with us for more than 30 minutes thoroughly going over everything and explaining what we should be concerned about. Thank you so much for being so helpful and kind during this time, and resolving our problem once and for all!”

Highly Recommend!
“When we thought we had mold because our kids were getting sick all the time, we called Certified Inspections. Mark inspected our house from top to bottom and took a lot of time to explain everything to us in detail, including the fact that testing is required before remediation can be done, so that there is no conflict of interest, and so unnecessary work wouldn’t get done, or get done the wrong way. I greatly admire his kindness, honesty, and integrity. After he finished, we were confident we would never have another mold problem again. I highly recommend working with this company if you want the job done right by someone you can trust.”
Ted K. | Manhattan, NY
Huge Help!
“I was worried that my recent health issues were caused by mold so I called the folks at Certified Inspections who were recommended to me by my friend. They spent a long time on the phone with me asking me about my symptoms and various things about my house and workplace, and concluded that mold could not be a cause of my illness. They directed me to the proper specialist who diagnosed and treated me. I feel much better now and Certified never even charged me for the invaluable consultation!”
