Fire & Smoke Damage

---

 At Daniel’s DKI, the initial assessment of fire and smoke damage is critical to developing an effective restoration plan. Our trained technicians quickly evaluate the extent of structural damage, soot, and smoke penetration, as well as the impact on contents and personal property. By documenting damage thoroughly, identifying hidden issues, and determining immediate mitigation needs, we ensure that restoration begins on a solid foundation—helping to minimize further loss and set the stage for a safe, efficient recovery. 

  After a fire, protecting the property from further damage or unauthorized access is a top priority. Daniel’s DKI secures affected homes and businesses by boarding up windows and doors, tarping roof penetrations, and installing temporary fencing when needed. These measures prevent weather-related damage, vandalism, and theft while providing a safe environment for restoration work to begin. Our goal is to stabilize the property quickly, giving owners peace of mind and a secure starting point for the restoration process. 

  Smoke and soot can cause corrosion and deterioration to metal surfaces, electronics, and structural components if not addressed promptly. Daniel’s DKI employs specialized cleaning agents, protective coatings, and controlled drying techniques to mitigate corrosion and prevent long-term damage. By acting quickly and using industry-approved methods, we preserve materials and contents, helping to restore the property safely and effectively while maintaining structural integrity. 

   Effective soot removal is essential to restoring a property after fire or smoke damage. Daniel’s DKI uses specialized methods, including chem sponge cleaning, dry sponging, and other industry-approved techniques to safely lift and remove soot from walls, ceilings, and delicate surfaces without causing further damage. By carefully selecting the appropriate cleaning method for each material, we restore affected areas, improve indoor air quality, and prepare the property for full-scale reconstruction and finishing. 

 Lingering smoke odors can persist long after visible damage is addressed. Daniel’s DKI uses professional odor counteractant and treatment methods, including thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and specialized deodorizing agents, to neutralize smoke odors at their source. These treatments penetrate walls, ceilings, ductwork, and contents, eliminating unwanted odors and restoring a clean, fresh environment, ensuring that the property feels fully restored and safe for occupants. 

  Fires can cause significant structural damage to homes and businesses, including weakened framing, charred supports, and compromised walls, floors, and roofs. Daniel’s DKI conducts a thorough assessment to identify all affected areas and determines the necessary repairs or reconstruction to restore the property safely. Using industry-approved methods and skilled construction teams, we stabilize, repair, and rebuild structural components to meet safety standards and return the property to its pre-loss condition.
