Fire & Smoke Damage

Fire Damage

A fire is among the most devastating events any property owner can experience. Beyond the immediate destruction, the loss of personal belongings, treasured keepsakes, and the spaces where you've built your life can feel crushing. Many homeowners find themselves unsure how to move forward. While fire damage restoration presents complex challenges, recovery is possible with experienced professionals guiding the way.

Dry Force moves swiftly when responding to fire emergencies, making property security and safety our first priority. Our teams will secure exposed openings with board-up services, apply protective tarps over compromised roofing, and establish safe boundaries before beginning the restoration work. In situations where firefighting efforts have left water inside the structure, we address water extraction and thorough drying first to prevent secondary water damage and mold formation before tackling fire and smoke restoration.

Categories of Fire Damage

Fire causes damage through several distinct mechanisms, each demanding specialized restoration techniques. Direct flame contact produces charring and structural compromise to building components. Heat exposure affects materials that weren't directly touched by flames, causing warping, discoloration, and material degradation. Soot and smoke residue settles throughout the property, requiring meticulous cleaning protocols to prevent permanent surface damage and ongoing corrosion.

Smoke Damage

Smoke moves through a structure unlike any other contaminant—it penetrates every gap, crack, and opening to reach areas far from the original fire. Once smoke particles infiltrate walls, ventilation systems, and porous materials such as carpet, drapes, upholstery, and clothing, they become deeply embedded and release stubborn, lingering odors.

Dry Force smoke remediation specialists employ specialized equipment including thermal fogging machines, ozone treatment systems, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize embedded smoke particulates at the molecular level. Our comprehensive methodology doesn't cover up odors with fragrances—it destroys the source entirely, returning your indoor air quality to its pre-fire state.
