These are the fire damage clean-up, restoration construction procedures for a fire damaged building:

1.Make sure that the building is safe if an electrical fire has occurred all power must be shut off to the building also the structural integrity of the building needs to be evaluated to ensure that it will not collapse durning fire damage clean-up, restoration construction.

2.Remove all contents from the building items that are to be disposed of are photographed and items that are to be salvaged are cleaned and put in storage we prefer to use portable on site storage where practical.
