Fire & Smoke Remediation
Our team eliminates smoke odor, cleans soot, and repairs fire-damaged areas using specialized techniques to fully restore your home’s air quality and structure.
Experiencing a fire in your home is devastating, but Cerito Development Inc Restoration and Mitigation is here to help you recover quickly and safely. We specialize in comprehensive fire and smoke remediation, addressing not only visible damage but also the lingering odors and microscopic soot particles that can affect your family’s health and comfort. Using advanced cleaning methods and industrial-grade equipment, we restore your home’s air quality and structural integrity to pre-fire condition.
Smoke Odor Removal and Air Quality Restoration
Smoke odors are notoriously stubborn and can penetrate deeply into porous materials, fabrics, and ventilation systems. Simple cleaning won’t suffice, which is why our remediation specialists deploy advanced technologies designed to eliminate odors at the molecular level. Using ozone generators, thermal foggers, and hydroxyl generators, we break down smoke particles and neutralize odors, rather than just masking them. This ensures your home smells fresh and clean again, without lingering reminders of the fire.
Soot and Residue Cleaning
Soot is acidic and corrosive, which means if it’s not properly cleaned, it can continue to damage surfaces long after the fire is out. Our cleaning team employs a variety of methods tailored specifically to the material and extent of damage. For non-porous surfaces like metal or glass, we use chemical cleaning agents and wiping techniques that safely remove soot without scratching or discoloration. For porous materials such as drywall, wood, or upholstery, we apply dry sponging, encapsulation, or even replacement if needed.
Our cleaning doesn’t stop at visible surfaces. Soot often settles in cracks, crevices, and HVAC systems, so we use specialized equipment to reach and clean these hidden areas thoroughly. We also implement containment procedures to prevent soot and dust from spreading to unaffected parts of your home during cleanup. By thoroughly removing soot and residue, we help prevent further deterioration and health risks, setting a clean foundation for repair and reconstruction.
Structural Damage Repair and Reconstruction
The physical damage from a fire can range from minor charring to severe structural compromise. Our restoration experts perform detailed assessments to identify all compromised components, including framing, drywall, flooring, and roofing. We develop a comprehensive repair plan that prioritizes both safety and aesthetics, ensuring that your home not only looks great but meets all building codes and fire safety standards.
During reconstruction, we use high-quality, fire-resistant materials to improve your home’s resilience against future fires. Our skilled craftsmen handle everything from demolition of irreparably damaged areas to framing, drywall installation, and finishing work. We also coordinate with your insurance company and keep you informed throughout the process, so you feel supported and in control as your home is restored to its original condition—or better.
Personal Property Restoration
Fire and smoke damage can deeply affect your belongings, causing everything from minor discoloration to total destruction. Our property restoration team carefully inspects your furniture, textiles, electronics, and valuables to determine which items can be salvaged. Using specialized cleaning methods such as ultrasonic cleaning, thermal fogging, and ozone treatments, we restore many items to their pre-fire condition.
Restoring your possessions not only reduces replacement costs but also helps preserve your personal memories and comfort. We handle each item with care and respect, using techniques suited to different materials and damage levels. This service is coordinated alongside the home’s structural repairs, ensuring a seamless restoration experience that brings your entire living space back to life.
