Ogletown, DE Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Being only three miles from Newark, Ogletown serves as a bedroom community for this larger municipality and even larger Wilmington in the region. When fire debris and damage situations develop, we have effective mitigation and restoration solutions for homes and larger businesses like Christiana Hospital and the Center Pointe Plaza. 

What Actions Are Taken Against Fire Debris in Ogletown Houses? 

Debris can be one of the first effects noticed in a house after a fire gets extinguished. The presence of heaped charred remnants, ash, and smoke solids creates a volatile environment for occupants and technicians. Removing fire debris and safely discarding it reduces smoke odors and soot concentrations.  

How Does Fire Mitigation and Restoration Begin for Ogletown Properties?  

Mitigation and restoration of damaged elements in your New Castle County home have the same objectives. Our immediate actions serve to shorten the overall restoration process and prevent the spread of harmful effects to new areas of the house. Some of these emergency services and focal points include: 

• smoke damage removal
• content relocation
• controlled demolition
• fire damaged homes
• smoke remediation

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

In many fire damage cases, it’s necessary to board up missing windows and walls and to place tarps on a damaged roof. This helps to maintain security and to protect against further damage. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
