What should I do immediately after a commercial fire?

Do not re-enter the building until fire officials have declared it safe. Once cleared, call Rainbow Restoration of Commerce City as soon as possible. Early intervention is critical for limiting smoke and soot damage. Contact your insurance provider to report the claim and, if you can safely do so, document the damage with photos. Avoid disturbing soot or ash, as spreading it causes additional surface damage.

Does commercial fire damage restoration include smoke and soot cleanup?

Yes. Smoke and soot cleanup is a core part of our commercial fire damage restoration service. Soot spreads well beyond the burned area, settling on walls, ceilings, HVAC components, and contents throughout the building. We address smoke and soot damage throughout the affected structure, not just in the immediate fire zone.

How long does commercial fire damage restoration take?

The timeline depends on the size of the fire, how far smoke and soot have spread, and the extent of structural damage. Smaller contained fires may take a week or two to restore. Larger events with widespread smoke damage and structural involvement can take longer. After our initial assessment, we will give you a realistic estimate for your specific situation.

Can I salvage equipment and inventory after a commercial fire?

In many cases, yes. Our team assesses commercial equipment, inventory, and contents to determine what is salvageable and what needs to be disposed of. Items affected only by smoke or soot may be cleaned and restored. Items with direct fire damage are evaluated individually. We aim to recover as much as possible to reduce your total loss.

Will my commercial insurance cover fire damage restoration?

Most commercial property insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including cleanup, smoke remediation, and structural repairs. Coverage details vary by policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider promptly to report the claim and verify your coverage. Our team documents the damage thoroughly throughout the restoration process to support your claim.

Does your team handle water damage left by sprinklers and firefighting?

Yes. Water damage from sprinkler systems and firefighting efforts is almost always present after a commercial fire and needs to be addressed alongside fire and smoke damage. Our team handles both, using commercial extraction equipment and drying systems to remove water and dry your structure completely as part of the overall restoration process.

Is smoke odor permanent after a commercial fire?

No. With the right treatment, smoke odor can be fully eliminated. We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor at a molecular level, not just mask it with surface treatments. This approach reaches odor-causing compounds in porous materials, HVAC systems, and hard-to-access areas of your building, restoring the space to a clean condition.

Can part of my business stay open during fire damage restoration?

In some cases, yes. If the fire damage is isolated to a specific area and the rest of the building is structurally sound and free of significant smoke contamination, it may be possible to operate in unaffected sections. Our team evaluates your specific situation and works with you to create a restoration plan that minimizes downtime wherever possible.
