Knoxville, TN Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

With thousands of homes in Knoxville susceptible to kitchen flare-ups and other fire losses, our professionals stay prepared 24/7 to help. When you consider larger structures like the Knoxville Convention Center and Civic Coliseum, greater recovery measures are necessary to protect these properties after a disaster. The same technicians can help in each of these scenarios. We provide thorough training and coursework for our roster to become among the most knowledgeable Fire & Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT) in the industry. 

Fire Damage Cleanup in Knoxville Homes 

Soot and smoke residues can be among the most significant obstacles our technicians face after a fire loss incident. As overwhelming as blackened materials might seem in your home after extinguishment, knowledgeable responses to these situations can often find much of the underlying materials salvageable with prompt cleaning and recovery measures. We sample cleaning products and strategies once the residue's composition has been determined to find the most efficient option for removing the threat. 

 Smoke Odor Removal from Knoxville Properties

The presence of noxious smoke odors is expected after a fire loss, but these effects rarely dissipate much on their own. Not only can smoke odors exist in open areas but they also can become trapped in porous materials around the damage zones. We have multiple deodorization approaches to address these concerns, including: 

  • Thermal and ULV fogging
  • Hydroxyl generators
  • Ozone machines

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

In many fire damage cases, it’s necessary to board up missing windows and walls and to place tarps on a damaged roof. This helps to maintain security and to protect against further damage. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
