Our fire damage restoration process

From your first call to a spotless property, here’s how we work:

Step 1

Contact us

Share the details of your situation with us. We’ll ask you about the type of damage, the size of the affected area, the location of the property and any photos that help to provide a clear picture of the work to be done.

Step 2

Assess and plan

Our experts evaluate the damage and create a tailored cleaning plan and estimate, as well as agree upon a date for the fire damage cleanup to take place.

Step 3

Initial cleanup

We safely clear debris, responsibly remove unsalvageable items and secure the property.

Step 4

Thorough cleaning

Using advanced equipment and techniques – including HEPA-filter technology to ensure no particles re-enter the air – we clean every surface and remove all traces of soot and ash. We’ll also use BIOSWEEP, an innovative piece of technology that removes all traces of odour from your property.

Step 5

Final check

Before we leave, we ensure every detail is perfect and your property is safe and clean.

Fire damage restoration services: Frequently asked questions

How quickly can Ideal Response be on the scene to begin fire damage restoration?
We understand the urgency. In most cases, we can be on site within hours of your call.
We handle debris removal, deep cleaning, soot and smoke removal, odour elimination, and restoring the property to a safe, clean state.

Every situation is different, but we aim to complete the process as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. Small fire damage cleaning jobs may take a day, while larger commercial projects might take several days, if not weeks. We’ll provide you with an estimated timeframe during our initial assessment.

Don’t enter the building unless it’s declared safe. Wear gloves and masks if you do, and avoid eating or drinking anything exposed to flames or smoke. Turn off gas, electricity and water at the mains if safe, and don’t touch electrical sources if they’ve been exposed to water. We’d also recommend limiting the potential for secondary damage by securing the property. Finally, take photos of damage and document affected items to support your insurance claim.
No. We are also extremely experienced in providing commercial fire damage restoration to large and small businesses, from minor to major loss claims.
