Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
rebuild your property after a fire
Damage to property and contents doesn’t end when the fire is extinguished. Chemicals contained in the soot residue will continue to degrade materials and finishes, and water used in the fire suppression will continue to permeate porous materials.
As a result, mold can begin to form within 24-48 hours. Connecting with us immediately will help our teams respond to your situation with mitigation and remediation services that stabilize and secure your property. After the controlled removal of damaged contents and building materials, we will begin the process of reconstruction and return your property to its pre-loss condition.
Industry leading equipment & techniques
Specialized detergents and applications are used throughout the cleaning process to neutralize odours and seal surfaces to prevent secondary damage. All belongings, from clothing to kitchenware, will receive special care at the Homeland Restorers processing facility using the highest industry standard techniques and equipment. Contents are contained within a drying chamber where heat, dehumidification and air movement produce fast, controlled drying. We appreciate that some items are irreplaceable so we strive to return these items to you in the same (or often) better shape than before the fire.
