Fire Damage Restoration

When a fire strikes a business, the very first priority is to extinguish the flames and make sure that all occupants of the facility are safe. However, once the fire is put out and everyone is accounted for, you are left with a heavily damaged building that is unfit for working.  Fire damage restoration is the act of cleaning and restoring property as well as belongings that have sustained smoke or fire damage.  The goal of fire damage restoration services is to salvage damaged items and restore your business so that it can once again be inhabited.


Our company specializes in providing fire damage restoration services using advanced equipment and cleaning products to remove soot or smoke damage as well as odors from various surfaces and salvage personal items. We also help the business owner make decisions regarding the repair or replacement of certain elements of their property.


The HVAC system requires either thorough restoration or total replacement because after a fire it could release smoke and soot particles in the air. If the HVAC system is not restored or replaced, the soot particles it releases could contribute to respiratory problems and other health issues.


Another important element of fire damage restoration is the removal of burned structural components such as walls, ceilings, and floor coverings. The structural framing materials and components throughout the property are thoroughly inspected and replaced if any charring or warping is discovered. If the structural components are salvageable, they are treated with deodorizers to remove any smoke odor. The structural components are then left to dry completely before they are sealed and covered with new drywall and paneling. It is important to remove the odor before installing new drywall and panels otherwise the odor will continue to leak out into the property.


During the fire restoration process, we may use one of several methods for neutralizing the odor throughout the home including ozone deodorization or wet or dry fogging. Deodorization is typically done in the areas with the least damage first, progressing to more damaged areas as the process continues. It is best to have a specialized professional like Guarantee Restoration Services carry out the deodorization to prevent health hazards or further damage to the property. The property is aired out during and after each phase of the restoration process to reduce the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the new materials. All removable personal items can be submitted to our office to undergo the fire damage restoration process.


If your commercial property has been heavily damaged in a fire, it is important to call Guarantee Restoration for fire damage restoration services immediately to help limit the damage and salvage your property. Fire damage restoration is a tough job that is best handled by our specialized professionals to ensure the best possible results. By acting quickly and securing our fire damage restoration services, you can help get your life and business back on track after such a devastating event.

Spring has Sprung! April has without a doubt already brought the showers. Our team has been busy helping our partners recover from the severe weather along the Gulf Coast this week. This month, we shine the spotlight on Nicole Gregory. She serves as a technician at our Gulfport, Mississippi branch. Nicole was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast about 20 years ago. After high school, she attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Prior to joining the GRS team in July 2022, she was a nursing assistant for two years. When she is not working, she spends her free time with her 10-year-old son, Dylan. They enjoy roller skating and any fun, outside activities that they can do together. When she can, she likes to fix things around the house. During football season, she loves watching her favorite team, the Las Vegas Raiders. Finally, I asked Nicole what she likes about working for our company. She responded, “I love working with my coworkers, they are my favorite part about working with Guarantee Restoration Services.”
