Preparing Fire-Damaged Structures for Rebuilding and Repairs
Structural materials, even those not directly exposed to flames, can be heavily impacted by soot and other residues from a home fire.
Affected materials include:
- Wall studs
- Ceiling joists
- Insulation
- Subfloors
- Drywall
Technicians implement a broad swathe of techniques to restore these structures, such as:
- Demolishing unsalvageable drywall and insulation to make way for fresh installations
- Vigorously cleaning and sealing studs and joists to minimize stains and charring from fire damage
- Cleaning surface-level stains off of structures with EPA-registered antimicrobials
- Addressing heavier surface staining and residues with abrasion cleaning and alkaline solutions
