A fire can affect structural stability, wiring and hidden cavities. Enter only after the appropriate authorities say access is permitted. Discuss openings that need temporary protection and identify areas that require specialist evaluation before cleanup begins.
Different materials respond differently to smoke residue. Cleaning methods should be selected for the surface and tested where appropriate. Water extraction and drying may also be needed, and odor treatment should address the source rather than cover it with fragrance.
Document damaged rooms, finishes and contents before repairs. The proposal should distinguish cleaning, removal, replacement and reconstruction, with decisions about salvageable belongings made before disposal.
Wait for the fire department to release the site.
Discuss existing conditions, access, material suitability and any specialist evaluation needed before work starts.
Confirm the proposed work, schedule, costs and exclusions in writing. Keep any later changes documented.
Walk through the agreed work, record remaining items and discuss care instructions or follow-up repairs.
