Bright Side Restoration was contacted to cleanup fire and smoke damage at a residential property in Miller Place, Long Island. A malfunctioning space heater in the primary bathroom sparked a fire, which was fortunately contained to the room. However, the resulting smoke damage affected the entire master suite, requiring a complete gutting of the space.
Initial Fire Damage Assessment and Response
Upon arriving at the property, Bright Side Restoration immediately assessed the damage:
- The fire had been confined to the primary bathroom, preventing wider spread.
- However, smoke had traveled throughout the master suite and adjacent areas, leaving extensive soot and residue.
- Using advanced moisture and air quality testing equipment, our team discovered the full extent of the damage, which necessitated a complete gutting of the master suite down to the studs.
Pack Out and Content Management
Before any structural work could begin, our team carefully packed out and documented all the homeowner’s belongings in the master suite:
- A thorough inventory was conducted to ensure each item was accounted for.
- Personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and textiles, were removed and sent to a secure off-site location for cleaning and deodorization.
- This step protected valuable possessions from further smoke contamination while allowing our team full access to begin the restoration.
Structural Mitigation and Smoke Damage Cleanup in Miller Place Home
Once the contents were safely removed, Bright Side Restoration began the structural mitigation process:
- The master suite was gutted, removing all affected materials, including drywall, insulation, flooring, and fixtures, to fully address the pervasive smoke damage.
- Our team used HEPA vacuums and specialized cleaning solutions to remove soot, ash, and smoke particles from all surfaces.
- Air scrubbers and ozone treatments were employed to neutralize lingering smoke odors and purify the air quality in the affected areas.
Encapsulation and Final Preparation for Rebuild
With the area cleared and cleaned, the next step was to encapsulate the space to prepare for the rebuild:
- All exposed structural materials were sealed to prevent the future release of smoke odors, ensuring long-term air quality protection.
- This encapsulation process created a clean and safe environment for the rebuild team to restore the master suite without concerns of hidden smoke damage resurfacing.
- By addressing both visible and deep-seated damage, we ensured that the home was ready for full restoration.
