The COIT Smoke & Fire Restoration Process
Inspect and Secure
The fire damage restoration process begins with an inspection of your property to determine the extent of the damage. We’ll review our plan to begin the restoration process. We then assist you in obtaining any personal items you may want or need before securing the property.
Inventory and Pack-Out
COIT will create a detailed inventory of every affected item in in your home to ensure you know what will be packed out during the restoration process. We determine which items are restorable and which are not. We can prioritize, restore and quickly return items important you. All of your valuable items are securely stored until the entire project is complete.
Fire and Smoke Damage
Any parts of the structure damaged by fire will be removed in preparation for reconstruction. This also begins the process of removing damaging soot and smoke. Our technicians utilize air scrubbers, hydroxyl and ozone generators to completely remove even the slightest smoke odors. The COIT Restoration Team will work until your home or business is restored.

Crawl Space Decontamination
Hazard and Damage Removal
When decontaminating a crawl space or attic, we first check for any safety hazards, following OSHA and COIT rules for confined space entry. We then extract standing water using our truck-mounted extraction equipment. If your insulation has been affected, we will remove the damaged insulation, bag it up, and safely dispose of it. We will also check vapor barriers (a sheet or coating that prevents water vapor from permeating walls) and remove them if they have been damaged.
For Smoke and Fire Damage: Vacuuming
Technicians will use HEPA vacuums to remove fine particulates from the area, as well as set up appropriate equipment to scrub the air and remove odors. Soot stains will be treated using methods appropriate to the contaminated surface.
Repairs
Once the crawl space decontamination process is complete and the space is dry, and the drying equipment has been removed, we will replace your insulation and vapor barrier.
