FIRE DAMAGE RESTORATION

The Fire Damage Restoration Process

Restoring a property after a fire requires a structured and thorough approach. True North Restoration of Louisville brings the experience, precision, and training necessary to guide a property through every phase of recovery—from initial evaluation to full restoration.

Smoke and soot have a way of traveling far beyond the visible burn site, settling into hidden corners and deep within building materials. Without trained professionals, these details are often missed, which can result in lingering odors, health risks, and long-term damage. True North Restoration of Louisville ensures that no aspect of the restoration process is overlooked.

Here’s what a typical fire damage restoration process includes:

1. In-Depth Inspection and Damage Evaluation
   A comprehensive assessment of the property is performed to identify structural concerns, surface damage, and hidden areas affected by smoke and soot.
2. Immediate Protection and Stabilization
   Initial actions focus on preventing further damage. This can include board-ups, roof tarping, and other temporary solutions to secure the property.
3. Digital Documentation and Damage Recording
   Advanced tools, including 3D modeling, are used to document the full extent of the loss. This detailed record assists in coordinating with insurance providers and planning the restoration scope.
4. Air Quality Control and Filtration
   High-grade Air Filtration Devices (AFDs) are deployed to remove airborne particles and contaminants, helping to restore safe breathing conditions inside the property.
5. Debris Removal and Proper Disposal
   Items that cannot be restored are identified and removed using safe, regulated disposal methods to avoid further contamination.
6. Salvageable Item Handling and Restoration
   Contents that can be saved are carefully packed, cleaned, and restored in a secure environment, with strict protocols to avoid cross-contamination.
7. HVAC and Air Duct Decontamination
   Smoke and soot can enter the HVAC system, spreading damage further. A complete inspection and cleaning of air ducts and systems ensure restored air quality and prevent future issues.
   

Fire and smoke damage are often covered by homeowner's insurance, though the exact terms can vary between policies. In many cases, coverage may depend on the circumstances surrounding the fire, including whether it was caused by occupant negligence. Because each policy is different, it's essential to speak directly with an insurance agent to clarify specific coverage and benefits.
