What's included
What Fire Damage Restoration Near Me Includes
Every fire loss is different, but the core scope is the same: secure the property, remove the water and soot, neutralize the odor, and rebuild what burned. Here is what is covered on a standard job. Anything beyond that, like full contents pack-out or specialty restoration, we quote separately before we start.
Emergency Board-Up and Tarp
We secure windows, doors and damaged roofing the same day we arrive. This stops theft, rain intrusion and further smoke spread while the claim is being processed.
Water Extraction and Drying
Firefighting water soaks drywall, insulation and flooring. We extract standing water, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture daily until the structure is dry.
Soot and Residue Removal
HEPA vacuuming and hand-wiping of walls, ceilings, cabinets and contents. We treat every affected surface, then seal what cannot be fully cleaned to lock in residual odor.
Odor Neutralization
Hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging and charcoal absorbers break down smoke odor at the source. We verify with a walkthrough before we call the job complete.
Structural Repair and Rebuild
Reframing, drywall, insulation, paint, trim and roofing replaced to California code. We pull the permit, coordinate inspections, and hand back a finished space.
Service overview
What Fire Damage Restoration Near Me in EAST IRVINE Involves
Fire Damage Restoration Near Me in EAST IRVINE is the full cleanup and rebuild process that follows a house or commercial fire: emergency board-up, water extraction from firefighting hoses, soot and char removal, odor neutralization, and structural repair. It is not just wiping down walls. Smoke travels through every gap in a house, so residue lands inside closets, cabinets, HVAC ductwork and wall cavities long before you notice the smell.
In EAST IRVINE, most calls we run start the same way: a kitchen flare-up in Woodbridge, an electrical fire in a Great Park condo, or a garage fire in Northwood that pushes smoke through the whole second floor. By the time the trucks leave, you are dealing with charred framing, water-soaked drywall, and a smoke odor that gets worse over the next 48 hours. That is where local fire damage restoration EAST IRVINE California crews earn their keep.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency Call
You call (833) 929-6186 and reach a live person, day or night. We ask the basics, dispatch the nearest crew, and stay on the line with safety instructions. Most EAST IRVINE addresses see a truck in under 90 minutes.
Board-Up & Stabilize
First priority is securing the property. We board windows and doors, tarp damaged roofing, and shut off utilities if needed. This stops theft, rain intrusion and further smoke spread while we plan the rest of the job.
Water & Soot Removal
Firefighting water does its own damage. We extract standing water, set air movers and dehumidifiers, then HEPA vacuum and hand-wipe soot from walls, ceilings and contents. This stage usually takes one to three days depending on square footage.
Odor & Air Treatment
We run air scrubbers with HEPA filtration, hydroxyl generators and, where needed, thermal fogging to neutralize smoke odor in the structure and ductwork. Charcoal odor absorbers stay in place during the rebuild to catch residual smell.
Repair & Final Walk
Drywall, insulation, paint, trim and roofing go back in to code. We handle the permit, coordinate inspections, and walk the property with you at the end. You sign off only when the work is right.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Finds hidden hot spots and moisture behind walls so we do not miss damage that is not visible to the eye.
Moisture Meter
Reads moisture content in drywall, framing and subfloor to confirm when the structure is actually dry.
Air Scrubber with HEPA Filtration
Pulls smoke particles out of the air during cleanup and rebuild, keeping the rest of the home from getting re-contaminated.
Hydroxyl Generator
Neutralizes smoke odor at the molecular level without leaving a chemical residue behind.
Thermal Fogging Equipment
Pushes deodorizing solution into wall cavities, ductwork and other spaces a spray bottle cannot reach.
Negative Air Machine
Creates negative pressure in the work zone so smoke and dust do not migrate into clean areas of the home.
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Dehumidifiers
Pull moisture out of the air and materials after firefighting water is extracted.
Use cases
When to Call Fire Damage Restoration Near Me
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Electrical Fire in Great Park Condo
A failed outlet started a fire inside the wall of a second-floor bedroom. The wall cavity was charred, smoke filled the unit, and the HVAC system pushed residue into every room. → We opened the wall, replaced the charred wiring and framing, cleaned the ductwork, and ran air scrubbers for 48 hours. The unit passed inspection and the owner moved back in three weeks after the fire.
Garage Fire in Northwood
A garage fire spread smoke through the second floor and into the attic insulation. The garage was a total loss, and the rest of the house smelled like burned plastic for days. → We boarded up, extracted water, removed the attic insulation, sealed the rafters, and rebuilt the garage to code. The smoke odor was gone after a final hydroxyl treatment and the family moved back in 24 days.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve for EAST IRVINE Homeowners
Fire damage does not stop when the flames go out. These are the problems we see most often on EAST IRVINE jobs, and how we handle each one.
Lingering smoke odor weeks after the fire
We run hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to break down odor molecules, then seal porous surfaces that cannot be fully cleaned. A final walkthrough confirms the smell is gone before we close the job.
Water damage from firefighting hoses
We extract standing water on arrival, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture readings daily. The structure is dry before rebuild starts, so mold never gets a foothold.
Smoke damage inside HVAC ducts
We clean and treat the ductwork with air scrubbers and negative air machines, then replace filters and seal the system before the HVAC is turned back on.
Insurance claim delays and lowball estimates
We document the loss with photos, moisture readings and an Xactimate estimate your carrier recognizes. That keeps the claim moving and reduces the gap between what is owed and what is paid.
Pricing process
Fire Damage Restoration Pricing in EAST IRVINE
$3,500 - $80,000+ depending on scope and coverage
Size of the fire loss
A single bedroom fire is a very different job than a whole-floor loss. Square footage drives the cost of demolition, cleaning, drying and rebuild more than any other factor.
Water damage from firefighting
The more water the fire department used, the more extraction and drying the job needs. A two-day dry-out can add several thousand dollars to the scope.
Smoke spread and ductwork
If smoke reached the HVAC system, duct cleaning and additional odor treatment are required. This is common in newer EAST IRVINE homes with tight envelopes.
