Commercial Fire & Smoke · Southern California · Since 2000
After the fire — structural cleaning,
soot removal, and the rebuild that follows.
25+ years bringing commercial property back from fire and smoke — by our own crews, on one schedule, in accordance with the insurance scope.
THE BASICS
Fire leaves three losses,
not one.
The flame, the smoke, and the water used to put it out. Restoration addresses all three: structural cleaning, soot removal, content cleaning, and deodorization — then the reconstruction that returns the space to pre-loss condition.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Residue dictates
the method.
Category 01
Fast,
hot fires
Powdery soot; dry structural cleaning.
Category 02
Smoldering,
low-heat fires
Sticky, staining residue and strong odor; heavier structural cleaning.
Category 03
Kitchen and
equipment fires
Near-invisible film and persistent odor; specialized deodorization.
THE C2C COMMERCIAL PROCESS
From smoke line to finished space.
step one
Dispatch & Assessment
Crews dispatched immediately to the loss site; on-site within 60 to 90 minute response time.
step two
Board-up & stabilization
Openings secured, water from suppression extracted, the area contained.
step three
Structural cleaning & deodorization
Soot removed, content cleaned and inventoried, odor neutralized at the source.
step four
Restoration
Where Loss Construction lives.
Reconstruction performed in accordance with the insurance scope, by our own crews. Daily or weekly updates issued.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
First hour after
a commercial fire.
HOMEOWNER GUIDANCE
Do this now
Wait for the fire department's all-clear before re-entering.
Secure the premises; photograph conditions before anything is moved.
Call us — a live dispatcher answers and a crew is routed inside the same call.
Don't do this
Don't wipe soot from surfaces; improper cleaning sets the stain.
Don't discard wet inventory or fixtures before they're documented.
FROM LOSS TO REBUILD
When mitigation ends, most firms hand you a list of trades. We keep going
Mitigation stabilizes the building; the rebuild is the second part of the loss. We carry the file through reconstruction in-house — by our own crews, on one schedule, in accordance with the insurance scope.

INSURANCE & DOCUMENTATION
We document scope before the claim conversation starts — not after.
Commercial fire losses move quickly from emergency to negotiation. We record soot distribution, HVAC contamination, and structural damage in a format adjusters recognize, so the scope holds through the entire claim
Soot & Odor Assessment
Facility-wide mapping of smoke migration and soot deposit, including HVAC and mechanical spaces
Xactimate Estimates
Carrier-ready, line-item scopes covering structural cleaning, contents, and rebuild on a single document.
Contents Inventory
Itemized record of affected furnishings, fixtures, and equipment — condition and disposition logged for the claim.
Photo & Video Record
Time-stamped documentation from first response through final clearance — organized by area for the adjuster's file.
Commercial fire crews cover the full footprint.
We've staged crews and equipment across all five Southern California counties — Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, Orange County, and San Diego County — since 2000.

Water damage, answered.
COMMERCIAL
Can the odor really be removed?
Yes — deodorization treats the source, not just the air, and is verified before sign-off.
