How this works, decision by decision
Decision 1: Where fire and smoke restoration is used
Fire and smoke restoration is used after fire, smoke and soot damage in homes and commercial spaces. The damage reaches rooms far from the fire through smoke and heat.
| Damage | Typical work | What matters most |
|---|---|---|
| Direct fire | Structure, framing, finishes | Structural safety |
| Smoke and soot | Walls, ceilings, contents | Residue and odour |
| Water from firefighting | Floors, walls, insulation | Moisture and drying |
Our pick: Look beyond the burn. Smoke and water travel further than the fire did.
Decision 2: Structural assessment
The structure is checked for heat damage, charring and loss of capacity before any work. Some members are replaced, others are assessed.
| Element | Action |
|---|---|
| Charred framing | Assessed for remaining capacity |
| Heat-damaged masonry | Checked and repaired |
| Roof and ceiling | Made safe before entry |
Our pick: Assess the structure before anyone works under it. Fire weakens more than it shows.
Decision 3: Soot and smoke cleaning
Soot and smoke residue are cleaned with methods matched to the surface. Porous materials that hold residue are removed.
| Surface | Method |
|---|---|
| Hard surfaces | Cleaned and sealed |
| Porous materials | Removed |
| Contents | Cleaned or disposed of |
Our pick: Clean hard surfaces and remove porous ones. Paint over smoke residue lets the odour return.
Decision 4: Odour removal
Odour is removed at the source. Sealing locks the residue in, and air treatment supports the work.
| Step | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Source removal | Porous materials out |
| Sealing | Residue locked before paint |
| Air treatment | Clears the air after the materials |
Our pick: Seal before you paint. Air treatment alone does not remove what is in the walls.
Decision 5: Safety and hazards
Fire sites carry hazards: broken glass, unstable structure, electrical damage and hazardous materials.
| Hazard | Action |
|---|---|
| Electrical | Power off and checked |
| Unstable structure | Made safe before entry |
| Hazardous materials | Tested and removed by specialists |
Our pick: Make the site safe before any work. Electrical and structure first.
Decision 6: Insurance and documentation
Fire claims depend on the record: the damage inventory, the photos, the cleaning and the contents.
| Record | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Damage inventory | What was damaged and where |
| Photos | The damage and the work |
| Contents list | Items kept or disposed of |
Our pick: Document from the first visit. The record is what the adjuster works from.
Decision 7: Rebuild coordination
The rebuild starts after the structure is cleared. The trades are sequenced: structure, roof, then interior.
| Trade | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Framing | Assessed and repaired |
| Roofing | Covered before the interior |
| Drywall and paint | Clean and dry, primed for odour |
Our pick: Sequence the rebuild: structure, roof, interior. Doing it out of order repeats the damage.
Decision 8: Permits and inspections
Structural repair and the rebuild are permitted and inspected. The inspections are booked before the covers go on.
| Work | Approval |
|---|---|
| Structural repair | Engineering and permit |
| Rebuild | Permit and inspection |
| Cleaning only | Usually no permit |
Our pick: Confirm the permits for the rebuild before the work starts.
Decision 9: After-care and recheck
After a fire the house is rechecked for odour and moisture. The first season shows whether the cleaning and the sealing held.
| Item | What to do |
|---|---|
| Odour | Investigated if it returns |
| Moisture | Checked after heavy rain |
| Records | Kept with the house file |
Our pick: Recheck the odour and moisture after the first season.
