Smoke damage restoration
Smoke damage is like a silent assassin. The visible signs might disappear, but smoke seeps through the walls, ceiling, and flooring, causing damage behind the scenes. It can even spread to rooms that weren’t impacted by the original fire, destroying building materials.
Smoke also leaves a distinctive odor, but our specialists treat your entire building, removing all traces of it. Contacting us immediately means you can prevent smoke particles from invading your property.
Soot removal
In the aftermath of a fire, you’ll notice soot buildup. Unfortunately, the soot can penetrate your personal belongings, and its acidity causes permanent damage to surfaces. The strong odor of soot might also make your building uninhabitable.
Our technicians use advanced equipment to remove all traces of soot and enhance your building’s air quality.
Water damage restoration
When flames impact your property, the primary concern is extinguishing them. But it’s essential to remember that moisture in the building can damage organic materials and affect your property’s structural integrity.
We performwater damage restoration services that reduce further issues and dry the property. From water extraction to mold prevention measures, we leave nothing to chance.
Mold remediation
Nobody wants mold spores to take over their property. The foul odor, potential health issues, and structural damage they cause are avoidable—but only if you act fast. Mold spores can also penetrate through walls, ceilings, and flooring, making them hard to identify.
Our experts use advanced tools to identify and eliminate all traces of mold. We make your property safe for use again.
Property repairs
Smoke and soot damage can destroy your personal belongings and cause significant damage to your building. We always try to salvage your items and act quickly to reduce the risks of loss. Our services include property repairs, as we have access to a network of professional contractors.
Working with us means you receive support throughout the process, reducing costs and giving you peace of mind.
Our fire damage restoration process
When a fire hits your property, the first step is to contact emergency response services. But once they extinguish the flames, you’re often left with smoke, soot, and excess moisture.
Manhattan Flood quickly mitigates further damage and gives your residential or commercial property the best chance of recovery. Our proven process can reduce your costs and get you back home quickly.
Emergency services
When dealing with fire damage, every single second counts. When you call our emergency helpline, we’ll deploy our disaster recovery experts, who will act quickly to eliminate the risks of further damage.
Our emergency services include evaluating whether the property is safe to enter, identifying the root cause of your fire, and assessing affected rooms.
We’ll also take steps to prevent further damage by boarding up windows, switching off your electricity supply, and removing hazards from the property.
Documenting the damage
We’ll salvage your personal belongings wherever possible – but fires often cause extensive damage. Soft furnishings, clothing, and photographs are at the highest risk. Your technician will document all sources of damage and put the information for your insurance company.
We ensure our clients receive the payment they deserve by meeting the insurance adjuster on-site and explaining the damage. Many providers try to get you to use their remediation services, but Manhattan Flood Restoration works for you, not your insurance company.
Water damage remediation
Excess moisture can cause extensive damage to your property and compromise its structural elements. Before tackling the aftereffects of your fire, we need to remove standing water and reduce the risks of mold accumulation.
Our technicians use industry-grade equipment to remove standing water from each room. If you’ve had a small fire, we can remove standing water quickly, but treating large-scale water damage is a complex process that takes time.
Smoke and soot removal
We need to remove smoke and soot particles from all affected areas to ensure they don’t cause health issues or weaken your property’s structure. Our experts will use wet and dry cleaning techniques to remove soot and smoke from the walls, ceiling, and flooring without causing more damage.
With access to chemical solutions and HEPA vacuums, we eliminate all particles of smoke and soot, revitalizing your property and ensuring it’s safe for occupancy.
Mold remediation
Mold thrives in damp conditions, a standard occurrence after fires. The spores don’t just look awful; they can also expose people to allergic reactions and health conditions. When we inspect your property, we’ll assess for signs of visible and hidden mold using moisture meters.
Once we identify the type of mold, our experts will remove the spores and make sure they don’t have the opportunity to spread. We’ll clean your surfaces and test the air quality to ensure the mold spores have disappeared.
Drying and sanitizing the property
When we’ve removed all excess water, we’ll use specialized equipment – including dehumidifiers – to dry the area, removing all traces of moisture and stopping mold before it has a chance to attack.
Smoke and soot have distinct odors, but our sanitation equipment means we can restore air quality and remove any odors. We also use deodorizers to combat lingering odors, which are more powerful than your traditional air freshener.
Repairs
In most cases, your property will need repairs after a fire. These repairs can be minor or severe, depending on whether the fire impacted your entire building or just one room. We work closely with professional contractors, managing the project as they restore your property.
Our experts handle everything, from removing and installing building materials to fixing the roof and ensuring the building’s foundations are stable. We’ll also do our best to salvage your belongings, but we’ll let you know if some need to be discarded.
Reconstruction
Once we’ve repaired the property, we’ll reconstruct the interior and exterior. Fires can cause severe damage to your building’s interior, including ruining carpets and wallpaper and destroying the electrical system.
Our reconstruction team does everything possible to return each room to its pre-loss condition, installing new carpets, painting the walls, and adhering to your preferences. When we’ve finished, you can inspect the property and prepare to move back in.

FAQs
Experiencing a fire can be traumatic, and it’s natural to panic. The steps you take during and after your fire can save your life, prevent further damage, and avoid costly repairs. Here’s what you should do:
Call Emergency Response Services: Trying to tackle flames alone can lead to serious injuries. Firefighters are trained to deal with fires and prevent them from spreading. Call the department immediately and get everyone to safety.
Wait: Never go back into the building until the fire department says you can. Fires can cause structural damage, compromising the property’s integrity.
Secure The Building: Try to secure the door and windows to minimize the risks of theft.
Call Manhattan Flood Restoration: Call our emergency line and ask us to visit your property. We can secure it if needed and will begin to document the damage immediately.
When a fire hits your property, taking immediate action is vital. Contacting Manhattan Flood Restoration quickly gives your property every chance to recover fully. Leaving fire damage to worsen often means you’ll pay more for repairs, as soot and smoke can destroy your belongings.
Excess moisture also allows mold spores to grow, leading to further repairs. By calling us immediately, we can get to your property and assess the damage.
Our professionals deploy various techniques and tools to eliminate smoke and soot damage from your property. Once we assess the smoke and soot, we’ll develop a plan to remove it, which might include using:
Dry Cleaning Sponges: Dry sponges lift soot from surfaces like ceilings and walls. We use them because the sponges prevent smearing and offer effective results.
Wet Cleaning Methods: Stubborn soot and smoke residues usually require wet cleaning methods, including water and specialist cleaning solutions. The technique suits materials that can accommodate water.
HEPA Vacuums: HEPA vacuums are industry-grade tools that remove standing water and soot particles from a range of surfaces. They can speed up the soot mitigation process and preserve your belongings.
Chemical Sponges: If the soot is hard to remove, we might use chemical sponges to lift soot particles. These sponges won’t damage your surfaces.
Air Scrubbers and Deodorizing Agents: Air scrubbers equipped with HEPA filters remove airborne soot particles, and deodorizing agents neutralize smoke odors.
If you have an insurance policy that covers fire damage, you should be able to receive money from your provider. Insurers are notorious for trying to reduce the amount of money customers receive, but we’ll support you with the claim.
It’s always best to call your insurer after the fire to initiate the claims process. A technician will meet the adjuster on-site and justify the repair costs.
Manhattan Flood Restoration works with a range of insurance companies, including:
USAA
Nationwide
MetLife
Liberty Mutual
Geico
Travelers
Chubb
Progressive
Our experience negotiating with insurance companies means you won’t need to worry about feeling cornered, as we’ll help you secure an appropriate payment.
It depends on the extent of your fire damage and how much work we need to perform. Minor fires that impact one or two rooms might take up to a week to repair, but large fires are more challenging to deal with. We might need to dry the entire building and perform remodeling services, which can take a lot of time.
Once we assess your property for damage and develop a remediation plan, we’ll give you a timeline. Your project manager will maintain communication throughout the project, and we always aim to complete the work by the deadline we give you.
We always try to salvage your personal belongings, but smoke, soot, and mold can cause ongoing damage. Our team always handles your items with respect and follows a process to ensure minimal losses.
If any items are salvageable, we’ll clean and deodorize them, restoring them to their previous condition. Our technicians might need to test electrical equipment to ensure they won’t cause safety issues.
We’ll dispose of items exposed to significant amounts of soot and mold and then document them for your insurance company. Our technicians implement environmentally friendly practices and always align with local regulations.
In some cases, fires are unavoidable – especially due to a natural disaster. The good news is that most fires occur due to human error or malfunctions. Following these tips can help you prevent fires in the future:
Smoke Alarms: Ensure your building has a smoke alarm installed on each floor. It’s also essential to test them regularly.
Fire Extinguishers: Fire extinguishers can be lifesavers, as they quickly extinguish flames and prevent the fire from spreading. Install extinguishers in key rooms and make sure everyone knows how to use them.
Safe Practices: Implementing fire safety measures, including employee training programs, never leaving cooking unattended, and understanding the risks of space heaters, candles, and flammable materials, can prevent fires from occurring.
Regular Maintenance: Book regular safety assessments, focusing on heating equipment, chimneys, and electrical systems. All three are vulnerable to fires, and prevention is always less expensive than paying for repairs.
Escape Plan: Make sure you have a comprehensive escape plan in place.
It’s only natural that you want to stay at home and avoid moving out of the property, but whether you can do this depends on the level of damage. For example, minor fires contained in a single room might not require structural repairs, and you can stay in the unaffected areas.
If your building suffered extensive damage, you might need to leave for safety reasons. Exposure to soot and smoke particles can also result in respiratory issues. We always make recommendations based on your safety and will advise if it’s best to move out while we complete the restoration project.
