What's included
What Is Included in 24 hour Fire Restoration
Every 24 hour Fire Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California job includes emergency board-up, water extraction from suppression, soot removal, odor control, and full documentation for your insurance claim. Rebuild work like drywall, paint, and roofing is quoted separately once mitigation is complete and your adjuster signs off on the scope.
Emergency Board-Up and Tarping
We seal broken windows, doors, and fire-damaged roofing with plywood and tarps the same night. This stops rain intrusion, blocks looters, and keeps soot from spreading into clean rooms while you sleep.
Water Extraction and Drying
Fire hoses leave hundreds of gallons behind. We extract standing water, set Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment air movers, and monitor with a moisture meter until framing and drywall hit target readings.
Soot and Residue Removal
Our techs HEPA vacuum soot residue off walls, ceilings, and framing, then hand-clean finished surfaces. We apply sealant and caulk where needed to lock in residual particles before paint and primer go on.
Odor Neutralization
We run hydroxyl generators, ozone generators, and thermal fogging solution to neutralize lingering smoke odor at the source. Charcoal odor absorbers stay in place during the drying phase to catch what the air scrubbers miss.
HVAC and Duct Cleaning
Smoke damage in HVAC ducts spreads every time the system runs. We clean the ductwork, replace filters, and verify the air handler is safe before you turn the heat or AC back on.
Insurance Documentation
Photos, moisture readings, and Xactimate line items are compiled into a file your adjuster can process immediately. That shortens claim cycles and reduces the chance of a disputed scope on your rebuild.
Service overview
What 24 hour Fire Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California Covers
24 hour Fire Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California is emergency fire damage restoration that secures, cleans, and dries a fire-damaged property the same night it is reported. The first crew boards up broken windows and burned roofing, then extracts the hundreds of gallons of water left behind by firefighting. From there we HEPA vacuum soot residue off walls and ceilings, run air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators to kill lingering smoke odor, and pull smoke damage out of HVAC ducts before it spreads to every room.
Fires in EAST IRVINE rarely happen at a convenient hour. A Cypress Village kitchen fire at 11 p.m., a garage electrical fire in Woodbridge on a Sunday, an attic fire in Portola Springs during a holiday weekend. Each one leaves charred structural framing, melted electrical wiring, and smoke-stained furniture that gets worse by the hour. Calling around the clock fire restoration in EAST IRVINE within the first 60 minutes limits corrosion on metal fixtures and stops mold growth after fire suppression from taking hold in wet drywall and insulation.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
What to Expect From Call to Completion
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency Call
You call (833) 929-6186 any hour, any day. A live dispatcher takes your address, the type of fire, and whether anyone is injured. We confirm the crew rolling your way and give you a realistic arrival window, usually 60 to 90 minutes anywhere in EAST IRVINE.
On-Site Assessment
The first tech walks the property with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter to map hidden heat pockets and water migration behind walls. We photograph everything for your insurance file and identify any structural framing that needs immediate shoring before we begin work.
Board-Up and Stabilize
We seal openings with plywood and tarps, shut off compromised utilities, and place negative air machines to keep soot from migrating into clean rooms. This step takes 1 to 2 hours on a typical single-family home and protects your property overnight.
Soot and Water Removal
Crews HEPA vacuum soot residue from walls, ceilings, and framing, then extract standing water and set drying equipment. We check readings daily and adjust until drywall and lumber hit target moisture content, which usually takes 3 to 5 days depending on how much water the fire left behind.
Odor Control and Handoff
We run hydroxyl or ozone generators, seal salvageable surfaces with encapsulant, and clean ductwork so lingering smoke odor does not return when the HVAC kicks on. You get a written scope for any remaining structural repair after fire, plus a walkthrough before we pull equipment.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Fire Job
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Finds hidden heat pockets inside walls and ceilings after an electrical fire, so we can replace melted electrical wiring before power is restored.
Moisture Meter
Tracks water migration behind drywall and framing after firefighting, and confirms when the structure has dried to target readings.
HEPA Vacuum
Pulls fine soot particles off walls, ceilings, and framing without pushing them back into the air where they can resettle.
Air Scrubber and Negative Air Machine
Filters airborne particles and keeps soot from migrating into clean rooms during the mitigation phase.
Hydroxyl and Ozone Generators
Neutralizes lingering smoke odor at the molecular level in drywall, upholstery, and ductwork.
Dri-Eaz Dehumidifiers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment Air Movers
Dries framing, insulation, and drywall after suppression water is extracted, preventing mold growth after fire suppression.
Thermal Fogging Solution and Encapsulant
Seals porous surfaces and penetrates tight spaces where smoke odor hides, locking in residual particles before paint and primer.
Use cases
When to Call for 24 hour Fire Restoration
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Attic Fire in Portola Springs
A faulty exhaust fan sparked an attic fire that burned through insulation and charred several rafters. Smoke pushed down into two upstairs bedrooms, staining walls and settling into carpet and closets. → We removed 220 square feet of charred insulation, treated the rafters with encapsulant, replaced fire-damaged roofing and sheathing, and cleaned both bedrooms. Thermal imaging confirmed no remaining hot spots, and odor testing passed on day 5.
Electrical Fire in Woodbridge Townhome
An electrical fire in a shared wall sent smoke through the HVAC system into three units. Soot coated bedroom walls, and the smell returned every time the heat kicked on. Two tenants were ready to break their leases. → We cleaned the ductwork, replaced filters, HEPA vacuumed soot from all three units, and treated smoke-stained furniture and upholstery with thermal fogging solution. All three units passed the sniff test within 4 days, and tenants stayed.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve When Fire Damage Hits Your Home
Fire damage is never just the burned room. Soot travels, water soaks, and odor settles into places you would not expect. Here are the problems our 24 hour Fire Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California crews handle most often.
Lingering smoke odor weeks after the fire
We trace the odor to its source, run hydroxyl and ozone generators, treat ductwork, and apply encapsulant to seal porous surfaces. Most EAST IRVINE homes pass the sniff test within 3 to 5 days of treatment.
Soot residue on walls, ceilings, and fixtures
Our techs HEPA vacuum and hand-clean every affected surface, then apply sealant and caulk where needed. We document the before-and-after for your adjuster so nothing gets missed.
Water damage from firefighting
We extract standing water, set dehumidifiers and air movers, and monitor moisture meter readings daily until framing hits target. That stops mold before it starts and protects the rebuild.
Smoke damage in HVAC ducts
We clean the ductwork, replace filters, and verify the air handler before you turn the system back on. That keeps treated rooms clean and stops the odor from coming back.
Pricing process
What 24 hour Fire Restoration Costs in EAST IRVINE
$1,800 - $12,500 for mitigation, with rebuild quoted separately
Square footage affected
A single-room kitchen fire costs far less than a fire that pushed smoke through 2,000 square feet of living space. We measure affected area on site and price the scope to match, not to a flat rate.
Soot spread and residue type
Grease soot, electrical soot, and wood-smoke residue each need different cleaning chemistry. Electrical soot is the most corrosive and takes the longest to remove from metal fixtures and wiring.
Water volume from suppression
Fire hoses leave 300 to 800 gallons in an average EAST IRVINE home. More water means more extraction time, more drying equipment, and more days of monitoring before the structure hits target moisture.
