At a glance
When fire strikes your home or business, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. If only part of your structure needs to be torn down, you’re facing complex decisions that will impact your property’s future and your financial well-being. At PuroClean of Strafford County, we help property owners navigate these crucial questions during one of the most stressful times in their lives.
“What’s the extent of smoke, water, and heat damage throughout the property?”
This isn’t just about what’s visible. Our certified technicians use specialized equipment to detect hidden damage behind walls, within HVAC systems, and in areas that may appear untouched. Smoke can travel through tiny cracks, water can seep into structural components, and heat can compromise materials in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. We provide comprehensive documentation that prevents costly surprises during reconstruction and ensures your insurance claim accurately reflects the true scope of damage.
“What does your insurance policy cover for partial demolition and reconstruction?” “Are there any coverage limits or depreciation factors to consider?”
Working with insurance companies is our daily reality. We understand policy language, know what adjusters look for, and can help you maximize your claim. Our detailed damage reports and professional communication with your insurance carrier help ensure you receive fair compensation for both immediate restoration needs and any necessary reconstruction work.
“Have you documented everything with photos and video before any demo work begins?”
Proper documentation is critical for insurance claims and future reference. Our team systematically photographs and documents all damage before any restoration or demolition work begins. This creates an irrefutable record that protects your interests and provides the evidence needed for a successful insurance settlement.
“What permits are required for partial demolition and reconstruction?” “Are there any zoning restrictions or setback requirements that might affect reconstruction?”
Our local knowledge of Strafford County regulations can save you time and prevent costly mistakes. Whether you’re dealing with shoreline protection requirements for lakefront properties, tree replacement mandates, updated flood zone regulations, or historic district considerations, we understand the regional compliance issues that could impact your reconstruction decisions. While our focus is restoration, our experience helps connect you with the right contractors and officials when reconstruction is necessary.
Fire damage recovery isn’t just about cleanup—it’s about making informed decisions that protect your property’s future value and ensure compliance with local regulations. PuroClean of Strafford County serves as your knowledgeable partner, helping you ask the right questions and make sound decisions during a difficult time.

Before assuming demolition is necessary, it’s important to know that many fire-damaged properties can be fully restored. At PuroClean of Strafford County, our IICRC-certified technicians are trained in advanced fire and smoke restoration techniques that can save your property when structural integrity remains intact.
We follow the rigorous IICRC Fire and Smoke Restoration standards—the industry’s gold standard for fire damage recovery. Our systematic approach addresses:
The difference between demolition and restoration often comes down to timing and expertise.

Strafford County & Rockingham County (Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester, Somersworth, Exeter, Concord, Manchester) and Southern Maine (Kittery, York, Wells, South Berwick, and nearby towns).
Not always. At PuroClean of Strafford County, our restoration technicians first inspect the property and assess the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage—including damage from the water that was used to put out the fire. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to discover all the visible and hidden damage, including the extent of smoke, heat, and residues.
If structural components are unsafe or represent a total loss, demolition is the safest path forward. However, in partial-loss situations (such as a garage fire or isolated kitchen fire), we often perform selective demolition and siding/exterior removal while preserving the salvageable portions of your property.
Our IICRC-certified technicians can restore many fire-damaged properties to pre-loss condition when structural integrity remains intact. We use specialized equipment and techniques including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and industrial air scrubbers to eliminate smoke odors at the molecular level. The decision between restoration and demolition depends on structural safety, the extent of damage, and cost-effectiveness—and we provide honest guidance every step of the way.
Often yes, but coverage is policy-specific. Most homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies cover fire damage restoration and demolition costs. At PuroClean of Strafford County, we work directly with all major insurance carriers including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and others.
We provide carrier-ready documentation that your adjuster needs to evaluate the claim, including:
Our team handles documentation, estimates, and communication to maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs. We understand policy language, know what adjusters look for, and can help you navigate the claims process during this stressful time.
Many municipalities require asbestos/lead determinations before demolition or renovation, especially in homes built before 1980. We coordinate required surveys and any licensed abatement before work starts per NH DES asbestos regulations.
