Frequently Asked Questions
Elements Disaster Recovery follows an industry-recognized three-step process to remove smoke and odor damage effectively. Each step is necessary to prevent lingering odors.
The process includes:
- Spray application to all affected vertical and horizontal surfaces
- Application of a dry or granular odor counteractant
- Thermal fogging using a heated, solvent-based deodorizer to penetrate materials and neutralize odors
Thermal fogging duplicates the heat and penetration characteristics of a fire, allowing deodorizing agents to reach deep into materials where odors often remain trapped.
Our IICRC-certified technicians can identify odor sources and apply the appropriate treatment for odors caused by fire and smoke, as well as nicotine, stale air, mildew, pets, fireplaces, and other odor sources.
Different fires produce different types of smoke and residue. Proper identification of wet smoke, dry smoke, soot, protein residues, or chemical compounds is critical to safely cleaning and disinfecting affected structures and personal property.
We utilize specialized equipment such as ozone machines, thermal foggers, dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, negative air machines, and generators to help restore indoor air quality and mitigate further damage.

A practical guide for fire
damage
restoration:
Stabilize the Structure
Elements Disaster Recovery can arrive at your home quickly, so wait until they have covered windows, put up temporary fencing and stabilized the structure. If you are allowed to enter the damaged property, take the necessary precautions. Even with the proper board up in place, you should wear a mask because the soot and smoke still present may cause respiratory irritation. Even if it’s a minor fire, don’t turn on the electricity yet until the wiring has been inspected and deemed safe to use again. Use an outside power source if you need to use fans, vacuum or other cleaning tools.
Extent of Damage
The real extent of fire damage cannot be determined just by looking at it. There may be damage that is not seen immediately, such as structural damage, for example. The cleanup process is complicated. Water-, soot- and smoke-damaged objects must be immediately segregated to salvage as many items as possible. Burned objects, on the other hand, must be placed in a proper disposal container and sent to the appropriate facility to avoid harming the environment
Fire damage
Fire damage needs a systematic approach to lessen the stress on the homeowner’s part. When a fire is already at hand, the first thing to do is evacuate all occupants of the house. Don’t re-enter the premises until a cease-fire is declared out by the fire marshal. Call your insurance provider to report the situation and to get instructions on how to proceed.
Hire Professionals
It is advisable that you hire professionals to deal with the restoration process as it is a complicated and daunting task. Take note that you are not only dealing with a burned structure and furnishings, but also water and smoke damage. All of these must be dealt with at the same time.
Board Up
A “board up” company’s help is also necessary before any cleaning or restoration starts. A fire-damaged building may have weakened walls, broken windows or a compromised structure, so it is dangerous for anybody to walk into the fire damaged property. Securing the affected property must be done to avoid vandalism, prevent falling debris and ensure the safety of the cleaning and restoration crew.
Emergency Board Up
If a fire has damaged your home or business, contact Elements Disaster Recovery to provide emergency board up and to build securing for your property to protect it from secondary damages, such as vandalism, weather, or unauthorized entries. We can restore any damage to your property by removing ALL residual smoke damage and odor. We will minimize your stress while maximizing your investments’ value. We work for you.
Safety
Fire damage restoration can be tedious, but with the help of professional homeowner’s can expect their property to be treated respectfully and professionally and returned to its pre-fire condition. Aside from that, the safety of the occupants is also assured when the process is done correctly.
