Wheeling , IL Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

While the community has taken on a shape and style of its own over the past many decades, this suburb of Chicago was initially named after Wheeling, WV, a former capital of that state. With the population now reaching 40,000, this offshoot community has surpassed the size and grandeur of its namesake, with many institutions, educational centers, and cultural museums available for the enrichment of its residents. When fire damages affect this neighborhood, our professionals can help with:

  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Fire damaged homes
  • Fire damage restoration
  • Smoke remediation

Can Inspections Help in Wheeling’s Fire Damaged Homes?

Getting an idea of the damage and its impact on the property can be vital to preparing the appropriate restoration response to help. Not every property reacts the same to exposure of specific fire damage effects, as many properties protected by the Wheeling Historical Society are built with the original materials from 19th-century constructions. Damage assessments help to determine where problems exist in the appropriate smoke remediation strategy to overcome them.

Does Smoke Remediation Tackle Odors in Wheeling Homes? 

Smoke damage can impact properties in multiple ways, but few have the far-reaching effect that harsh odors do after extinguishment. Between real smells and those perceived because of the damage to the household, our technicians must apply multiple strategies to neutralize and eliminate smoke odors where they exist.

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)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

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

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

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.
