What Happens After a Fire
Fire damage is more than just burned areas. Smoke gets everywhere—into walls, air ducts, and furniture. Firefighting water causes secondary damage. If you don't act fast, damage spreads and gets worse. Here's what we do to help your Closter home recover.
Safety Check & Board-Up
First, we check if your home is safe. We secure windows and doors with board-up services. This keeps out rain, animals, and theft. We also make sure utilities are safe to use.
Water Removal
Firefighting leaves lots of water behind. We use pumps and extractors to remove it fast. We open walls and floors safely to dry everything underneath. This prevents mold from starting.
Soot & Smoke Removal
Black soot covers everything. Different types of soot need different cleaning methods. We use special brushes, vacuums, and cleaning solutions that work. For historic homes, we're extra careful with wood and original finishes.
Remove Smoke Smell
Smoke smell hides in walls, insulation, and air ducts. We don't just mask the smell—we eliminate it. We use thermal fogging and ozone treatment to neutralize odors at the source. Your home will smell fresh again.
Save Your Belongings
We carefully pack up items that can be saved—furniture, clothes, photos. We take them to our cleaning facility. We use special equipment to restore them. We treat your belongings like they matter, because they do.
Rebuild & Restore
We clean all surfaces and replace damaged materials. For historic Closter homes, we match original styles and materials when possible. We work with contractors to help rebuild your home the right way.
