Comprehensive Fire Damage Restoration Services in Oregon
A fire is a devastating event that leaves behind more than just charred wood. The secondary damage—corrosive soot and pervasive smoke odor—begins immediately and can cause long-term, irreversible harm to the structure and your belongings. Dealing with the aftermath requires more than a cleaning crew; it requires certified experts trained in water damage, biohazard remediation (soot is a biohazard), and full property restoration. We work quickly to stabilize the property and mitigate further loss, guiding you through the complex restoration process from initial cleanup to final repair.
Why Immediate, Professional Soot and Smoke Remediation is Crucial
The damage doesn’t stop when the fire is put out. Smoke and soot residues are highly acidic and accelerate corrosion and staining on surfaces, electronic components, and metals. Delaying professional remediation dramatically increases the cost of final repairs.
The Three Phases of Fire Damage:
- Direct Fire Damage: The immediate destruction caused by flames and heat.
- Water Damage: The extensive damage caused by firefighter efforts and sprinklers, leading to mold risk if not dried out immediately.
- Smoke and Soot Contamination:
- Soot: Microscopic carbon particles that settle everywhere. Wet smoke (from low-heat, smoldering fires, often plastics) is sticky and pungent. Dry smoke (from fast-burning, high-heat fires) is powdery and easier to remove but still highly toxic.
- Odor: Odor molecules penetrate porous materials, requiring specialized chemical treatments to neutralize, not just mask.
Our rapid response team is equipped to address all three types of damage simultaneously.emoved, highlighting the critical need for a professional and complete cleanup. Don’t risk the health of your family, tenants, or future buyers—let our experts ensure the air and surfaces are safe.

Soot & Residue Removal: Technicians wearing full PPE use specialized chemical sponges, HEPA vacuums, and commercial-grade cleaning agents to remove corrosive soot from all surfaces (walls, ceilings, ducts, contents).
Structural Cleaning & Demolition: Heavily damaged non-salvageable materials (e.g., drywall, insulation) are safely removed. The remaining structure is chemically cleaned, often requiring specialized techniques like soda blasting or dry ice blasting to remove deep-set soot.
Smoke Odor Neutralization: This is often the hardest step. We use advanced ozone, hydroxyl, or thermal fogging treatments to permanently neutralize odor molecules that have penetrated deep into the structure.
