The two most important steps to restore a fire-ravaged property and save it from further damage are: To have a professional restoration service on site immediately after the fire is put out – time is of the essence. And to have that service possess the trust and expertise to make “key decisions” for recovering damaged property.

1. Arrive on scene. Assess the situation. Set recovery procedure

2. Remove all water and unsalvageable materials

3. Document contents and pack-out items (e.g., Furniture, Rugs) for cleaning/repair

4. Dry or treat affected structures and all salvageable contents

5. Eliminate residual smoke and odors

6. Rebuild property structures to pre-existing conditions.

 No two fires are the same! Neither are the fire retardation effects. Canyon Restoration approaches fire disaster recovery with these crucial preliminary questions:

1. What kind of fire was it (e.g., electrical, wildfire, grease)?

2. What type of facility (e.g., daycare, warehouse)?

3. How was it suppressed (e.g., water, foam, Halon)?

4. What contents were in the burning building (e.g., pesticides, newspaper)?

5. How quickly do you need the facility open (e.g., for retail, operations, living)?

Once the initial clean up has been addressed, our technicians will secure your property by boarding up windows, securing doors, erecting a fence, and covering firefighting holes in the structure. These precautions will protect your property from looters and unfavorable weather conditions that can cause additional damage. As your restoration contractor, our technicians will take plenty of photographs, as well as video and help you inventory items that have been destroyed and damaged. Then we will pack-out the damaged items to be cleaned or repaired.In most fires, firefighters use at least some water to quench the flames. Wet building materials will grow mold in the right conditions within 24-48 hours. In order to avoid this additional damage, it is imperative that wet structural materials be dried out as quickly as possible. Canyon Restoration team will employ high-performance fans and dehumidifiers to dry the building materials very rapidly, thereby reducing the chances for secondary damage and mold to develop.Mold may grow if access to the home is unavailable for some time. This condition can be determined visually and by testing. If it's been determined that you have mold growth in your home, our IICRC certified mold abatement technicians will remove the mold as per Industry standards and then proceed with the fire damage restoration  process. Chemicals from smoke residues can permanently stain or change surface finishes in your home. As a qualified fire-restoration contractor, Canyon Restoration is experienced in smoke residue and soot clean up and will save as many of your personal items as possible.Another consideration after a fire is odor. Odors can extend beyond the extent of the fire. Canyon Restoration will address and eliminate any odor that has permeated your home through various methods including: cleaning, sealing and ozone treatment. Once the smoke damage has been addressed, Canyon Restoration will help line up contractors to help get your home back to what is was before the fire.
