Home Remediation (Fire Damage Repair & Cleanup)

Home Remediation (Fire Damage Repair & Cleanup)

Fire remediation focuses on cleaning, repairing, and restoring a home that was damaged but not fully destroyed by the fire. This process may involve removing smoke damage, repairing structural elements, and replacing compromised systems.

Pros of Remediation:

• Faster return home – Repairs may be completed sooner than a full rebuild

• Expedited permitting process

• ADUs may still be allowed if zoning permits

Cons of Remediation:

• Some systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, etc.) may need full replacement

• Smoke, soot, and water damage may require extensive cleanup and specialized treatment
