We know that both damage and costs will escalate, the longer fire damage is left unattended.
The quicker we act, the less chance there is of secondary damage resulting from the fire damage and smoke damage you have experienced. So, call us now!
Our 7-Step Process
Capital Facility Services and our fire damage restoration technicians are certified by the internationally recognised Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Our expertise spans across all aspects of fire, soot, and smoke damage restoration services throughout Melbourne. We inspect the fire damage, make the area safe, remove damaged content and clean and repair what is salvageable. We demolish damaged areas, clean soot from all surfaces and repair structural damage. We remove the smoke smell and then restore the fire damaged environment to its pre-loss condition.
We work with all types of assessors and insurance companies and have experience in restoration programs for house fires, for retail and commercial clients. Read on for more information about our 7-step fire damage restoration program.
Inspect, Assess & Plan
Since hot air rises it could be that a significant amount of the smoke and soot damage may be above the direct area where the fire was in force. It may be that the damage has travelled into your roof cavity, with the heat, soot and smoke damaging the structure and insulation. This type of damage could easily be missed if a detailed inspection is not undertaken by a professional fire damage clean up company that know what to look for.
If water has been used to extinguish the fire, your property will be affected by both water and fire damage. We are experts in Water Damage Restoration, and will access the effects of any water damage during this phase.
Define Scope of Works
If structural building work is required, we can engage a building contractor and structural engineer at this stage and can let you know the costs of these services, with an outline of what work, if any, can continue before their engagement.
Make Safe and Mitigation
As part of the fire damage cleaning phase of our approach the first thing we will do is remove the source of the fire, as well as the associated debris. It is the source of the fire and the associated debris that are likely to hold the most significant smoke odour and are the most toxic in continuing the spread of smoke and soot contamination associated with the fire, therefore removal of these items is our priority.
Depending on the extent of the fire damage a Builder and Structural Engineer may be required to remove building structure that is severely fire damaged and not salvageable, as well as to prop up walls and provide supports for other structures. If your electrical environment is compromised and dangerous, an electrician will be required to address electrical issues and make your premises safe. At the same time or soon after the removal of the source of fire, we set up a water extraction, drying and moisture control program to address any water damage issues. Drying of water damage is considered a priority over soot and smoke cleaning and in situations where water was used to extinguish a fire. If water damage is not effectively managed through immediate drying and moisture control, the issue of mould may arise, creating an even more complicated and expensive restoration program. If any mould is found it will need to be addressed through our Mould Remediation program. To address air quality issues that may exist, we use air filtration devices, also known as air scrubbers, using special charcoal filters to capture odours and airborne contaminants in the environment. This process cleans the air and assists to reduce the spread of contaminants from the fire.
Content is inventoried at this stage and what is not salvageable is removed and disposed. What can be salvaged or is not affected is moved to a negative pressured environment with active air filtration that captures and stops the spread of contaminants during storage and the content cleaning phase.
Commence Fire Damage Cleaning
It is also important to note that soot is confirmed as removed if it does not stain your hand when you wipe over it. A black tinge is most likely to remain on walls that have been cleaned of soot and painting is almost always required to bring your walls back to their pre-damage condition. The longer you take to clean the soot damage the more likely it will tinge your walls and the darker the staining will be.
Salvageable content is cleaned on site or packed for specialised cleaning off-site. This includes special dry cleaning of upholstery and clothing affected by smoke and soot damage and where we identify that content is not economically feasible to clean, we will let you know.
