However, not all property fires completely destroy the structure, fixtures and contents. When the fire is stopped in time, a trained professional fire restoration company can help bring your home or business back to pre-fire condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here are some of the steps involved in the process of restoring damage caused by fire:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Safety must be ensured; technicians must wear respirators and the structure must be sound before entering it.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The structure must be ventilated by using air movers or box fans to evacuate products of incomplete combustion and other contaminants.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The fire restoration professionals must evaluate the affected walls and wall coverings to determinate whether they can be restored or must be replaced. Surfaces can be either cleaned-to-save (restored to their pre-loss condition) or cleaned-to-paint (cleaned, sealed and repainted).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Restorable surfaces that were exposed to fire, smoke or heat must be \u2018pre-treated\u2019 with a coat of oil before cleaning.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The appropriate cleaning product and mix ratio to use on each surface must be determined.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Fixtures like sinks, tubs or toilets must be cleaned appropriately; items with a different finish, such as window frames and baseboards, are treated using different methods and products.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Odor removal is achieved after the smoke and soot residue from walls and ceilings is cleaned; if the odor persists, additional methods can be employed to remove it completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Remember, time is of the essence when dealing with property fire damages.
