ANSI/IICRC S590 / FSRT
Fire & Smoke Restoration
Fire losses demand specialized chemistry knowledge, meticulous documentation, and an aggressive odor-elimination strategy. DRR technicians are FSRT-certified and trained on the ANSI/IICRC S590 standard — from initial soot analysis through final air quality clearance.
What We Do
From Soot Chemistry to Air Quality Clearance
Soot Chemistry Analysis
Not all soot is the same. Protein fires, synthetic fires, and natural-material fires each produce different residues requiring different cleaning chemistries. We identify soot type before selecting any cleaning agent.
Odor Neutralization
Odor elimination requires more than masking. We deploy thermal fogging, hydroxyl generation, and ozone treatment in sequenced protocols that destroy smoke molecules embedded in porous surfaces and cavities.
Contents Pack-Out & Inventory
Salvageable contents are inventoried, photographed, and transported to our controlled facility for cleaning. Non-salvageable items are documented for your insurance claim with photo evidence and replacement values.
Structural Cleaning
Every affected surface is documented before any cleaning begins. HEPA vacuuming, chemical sponge wiping, and wet cleaning are applied in the correct sequence to prevent soot from being driven deeper into substrates.
HVAC Decontamination
Smoke travels through duct systems and coats components throughout the structure. We inspect, clean, and decontaminate HVAC systems to prevent recontamination after the primary cleaning is complete.
Air Quality Clearance
Post-restoration air sampling confirms particulate levels have returned to normal before occupants re-enter. Clearance documentation is provided in the final project report for your carrier and your records.
Why DRR
Documentation Before the First Cleaning Stroke
We document every affected surface before any cleaning begins — protecting your claim from day one. Pre-cleaning photographs, surface-by-surface condition notes, and soot-type identification create an irrefutable baseline that supports full scope payment and eliminates adjuster disputes over pre-existing conditions.
