Before you go back inside, listen to the instructions from the fire department. Smoke residue can be toxic, and visible damage is rarely the whole picture. A certified crew can give a property owner a clear safety assessment on arrival.

The Steps Behind a Proper Fire Restoration

Once the structure is stable, the team begins hauling away structural debris, soot removal from walls, ceilings, and floors, and removal of water left by firefighting.

Experienced crews combine hydroxyl and ozone deodorization to reach odor at its source. Many Cortland, IL property owners are glad to learn that the smell can truly be removed.
