Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Services
- Emergency board-up and roof tarping — immediate structural securing to prevent weather infiltration and vandalism within hours of fire department clearance
- Structural drying — firefighting suppression water introduces thousands of gallons into the structure; extraction and drying begins within 24 hours
- Smoke and soot cleaning — by soot type: dry smoke, wet smoke, protein smoke, and chemical smoke each require different cleaning approaches
- HVAC decontamination — mandatory after any structural fire; running HVAC before decontamination redistributes smoke throughout the entire home
- Contents pack-out and cleaning — full inventory and off-site restoration of salvageable contents
- Odor elimination — thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, or ozone treatment
- Full reconstruction — licensed NYS/NYC general contractor handles all phases through final inspection
Asbestos Protocol for Pre-1980 Long Island Homes
The majority of Long Island’s housing stock was built before 1980 — when asbestos-containing materials were standard in floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, roofing materials, and joint compound. Any fire in a pre-1980 home creates presumptive asbestos disturbance.
Upper Restoration’s fire restoration crews are trained to identify suspect ACM during demolition work. We arrange testing and coordinate licensed asbestos abatement as part of the fire restoration scope — eliminating the liability of undisclosed asbestos disturbance. No other contractor step should involve demolition without this protocol in place.
