CASE STUDY: Fire Damage & Soot Contamination Restoration
A fire originating in the storage room caused significant damage and led to widespread soot contamination across the property.
The impact extended beyond the source area, affecting multiple contents throughout the premises, including items that had been moved outdoors but remained heavily contaminated.
Our technicians conducted a thorough assessment to evaluate the extent of damage and contamination.
A structured inspection and documentation process was carried out, with all items carefully recorded and assessed.
Our team carried out a detailed assessment, documenting and sorting items into restorable and non-restorable categories to prevent cross-contamination and streamline the process.
Delicate items such as medals and trophies were also identified for careful restoration.
This structured approach helped maximise recovery while ensuring safe and effective restoration.
