A full-service fire damage restoration process includes several key steps:

Emergency Response & Property 

Stabilization – We provide board-up services, roof tarping, and structural stabilization to secure your property.

Fire & Smoke Damage Assessment – Our team evaluates the extent of fire, smoke, and soot damage to create a customized restoration plan.

Soot & Smoke Removal – 

We use advanced cleaning techniques to remove toxic soot and lingering smoke residues from walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and air ducts.

Water Damage Mitigation – Firefighting efforts can leave behind excess moisture, leading to mold. We extract water, dry affected areas, and apply antimicrobial treatments.

Odor Elimination – We utilize thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, ozone treatments, and HEPA air scrubbers to neutralize persistent smoke odors.

Structural Repairs & Reconstruction – We restore walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, roofing, and more, bringing your home or business back to its pre-fire condition.

Smoke odor removal requires specialized equipment and techniques:

 HEPA Filtration & Air Scrubbers – Capture airborne soot particles and improve indoor air quality.

  Thermal Fogging – Uses a fine mist to penetrate porous materials and neutralize deep-set smoke odors.

  Ozone & Hydroxyl Treatments – Break down odor-causing molecules for permanent odor removal.

  Deep Cleaning – We thoroughly clean and deodorize carpets, upholstery, HVAC systems, and walls.

Most homeowners and commercial insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including structural repairs, smoke damage cleanup, and water mitigation. However, the specifics depend on your policy.

 K&D Development works directly with insurance companies to ensure you receive the maximum coverage for your restoration needs. We help with documentation, claim filing, and insurance adjuster negotiations to streamline the process.

Pro Tip: Contact us for a free insurance consultation—we’ll guide you through the claims process and work on your behalf.

The restoration timeline depends on the severity of the damage:

 Minor Fire Damage (1-2 Weeks) – Small fires affecting single rooms require smoke removal, repainting, and minor repairs.

  Moderate Fire Damage (2-4 Weeks) – Structural repairs, extensive smoke cleanup, and odor removal may extend the process.

 severe Fire Damage (4+ Weeks) – Major fires needing full-scale reconstruction take longer, especially if insurance approvals are required.

K&D Development provides accurate project timelines and works efficiently to restore your property ASAP.

Install & Maintain Smoke Alarms – Test monthly and replace batteries twice a year.

  Keep Fire Extinguishers Handy – Have at least one per floor, especially in the kitchen and garage.

  Inspect Electrical Wiring – Avoid overloaded circuits and hire an electrician for regular inspections.

  Practice Fire Safety – Never leave candles unattended and keep flammable materials away from heat sources.

In most cases, temporary relocation is recommended, especially if:

 Heavy soot and smoke residues pose health risks.

  Structural damage makes the building unsafe.

  Firefighting water damage leads to mold or electrical hazards.

We work quickly to make your home safe and livable again, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
