When disaster strikes: Our fire restoration process
Fire damage can be devastating for property owners, leaving behind not just visible destruction but also hidden damage that requires expert attention. At F Trejo Construction, we understand the emotional and physical toll a fire can take on your property. As someone who has personally experienced the trauma of a house fire, owner Francisco Trejo brings unique insight and deep empathy to every restoration project. "When I saw my own home damaged by fire, I truly understood how overwhelming and emotional this experience can be for our clients," says Trejo. "That's why we approach each project not just as contractors, but as people who understand exactly what our clients are going through."
Our process begins with a detailed initial inspection and damage assessment. Our experienced technicians carefully evaluate the full extent of the fire damage, including visible structural damage, smoke penetration, and water damage from firefighting efforts. This comprehensive assessment allows us to develop a tailored restoration plan and provide accurate timelines and cost estimates.
The next crucial step is securing your property and preventing further damage. We immediately board up windows, doors, and any compromised areas of the structure. If necessary, we also install temporary roofing to protect your property from the elements. This emergency response phase is critical in preventing additional deterioration and maintaining the security of your property.
Water removal and drying form a significant part of our restoration process. Using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, we extract any remaining water from firefighting efforts and ensure the affected areas are thoroughly dried to prevent mold growth. Our team monitors moisture levels throughout this phase to guarantee complete drying.
Smoke and soot removal requires specialized techniques and equipment. Our technicians use advanced cleaning methods to remove soot from walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. We also employ professional-grade air scrubbers and fogging equipment to eliminate smoke odors that have penetrated deep into building materials and furnishings.
The restoration phase involves repairing or replacing damaged structures and materials. This can include rebuilding walls, replacing flooring, repairing electrical systems, and refinishing surfaces. Our skilled craftsmen pay attention to every detail, ensuring the restored areas seamlessly blend with the undamaged portions of your property.
Throughout the entire process, we maintain clear communication with both property owners and insurance companies. We document all damage and restoration work thoroughly, providing detailed reports and photographs to support insurance claims. Our experience working with insurance providers helps streamline the claims process, reducing stress for our clients.
The final phase includes a thorough cleaning and sanitizing of the entire affected area. We ensure all surfaces are properly cleaned, deodorized, and sanitized, making the space safe for occupancy. Our team conducts a final inspection to verify that all restoration work meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction.
