Assessing the Damage
The first step of any fire damage restoration process is assessing the damage caused by the fire – noting where and how much damage has been done. This assessment should include both physical and chemical damages that have occurred due to the smoke, soot, and acidic compounds created by burning materials within the home. All these factors must be considered in order to develop an effective plan for restoring your home as quickly as possible.

Cleaning Up Smoke Damage
After completing an assessment of the damages caused by the fire, the next step is cleaning up any smoke or soot damages left behind from burned materials within your home. This process typically involves using industrial strength tools such as vacuums and air scrubbers to remove any remaining particulates from the air – including any odors left behind by burned materials. The use of deodorizers may also be necessary in some cases.

Removing Soot from Surfaces
After removing particulates from the air, soot must also be removed from all surfaces that have been affected by smoke – including walls, ceilings, floors, furniture pieces, carpets, etc. This can often involve using special products designed specifically for removing soot; however, abrasive methods such as sanding may also be needed depending on how extensive the soot buildup is on certain surfaces.

Replacing Damaged Items
Depending on how extensive the damage caused by a fire is, it may be necessary to replace certain items within your home with new ones if they cannot be salvaged or repaired after being exposed to smoke or heat. This could include things like furniture pieces, rugs/carpets, wallpapers/wall coverings (due to smoke discoloration), etc., along with other items like electronics or appliances which could have been damaged beyond repair due to heat exposure during a fire.
