What Happens During Fire Damage Restoration

The crew begins by inspecting the property in Elizabeth City or a surrounding area to identify structural risks, water damage from hoses, and areas where smoke and soot have settled. They remove debris, bag damaged contents, and strip out materials that cannot be cleaned or repaired. This includes drywall, insulation, flooring, and anything too saturated or charred to salvage.


Once the damaged materials are out, you will notice the space feels open and raw, but the smell begins to fade as deodorization equipment runs and surfaces are treated. Structural elements are dried, cleaned, and prepped for repair or replacement. The goal is to return the property to a stable, clean state where reconstruction can begin.


This service does not include rebuilding or repainting. It focuses on cleanup, drying, and deodorization. If electrical or plumbing systems were affected, those repairs are handled by licensed contractors after the restoration work is complete. The team coordinates timing and access to keep the project moving without overlap or confusion.

Most people want to know what to expect

Fire damage is overwhelming, and the restoration process can feel unclear. Homeowners and business owners in Elizabeth City often ask about timing, insurance coordination, and what can be saved. These questions help clarify what happens next.

How soon after a fire can restoration begin?
Restoration can begin as soon as the fire department clears the property and it is safe to enter. The sooner the work starts, the less damage smoke and moisture will cause to salvageable materials.
What gets removed during fire damage restoration?
The crew removes charred materials, smoke-damaged drywall, soaked insulation, and any contents that cannot be cleaned. Structural framing is evaluated and either cleaned or marked for replacement depending on the level of damage.
How do you get rid of the smoke smell?
The team uses thermal foggers, ozone machines, and surface treatments to neutralize smoke odor. Deodorization continues throughout the cleaning process and is adjusted based on how strong the smell remains after materials are removed.
Will my insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Most homeowner and commercial policies include fire damage coverage. 7 Sounds Restoration provides documentation, photos, and detailed reports to support your claim and works directly with adjusters when needed.
Can you restore fire damage in a commercial building?
Yes. The service is available for commercial properties in Elizabeth City, including offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. Larger buildings may require extended timelines depending on the extent of the damage and the number of affected areas.
