Fire Damage Restoration in Nanaimo Restaurant

A fire is a stressful situation that no property owner wants to face. The aftermath of a fire is equally grueling, as you’re left dealing with extensive damage. According to the Canadian Red Cross, home fires are most common between December and March, but they can occur anytime and in residential and commercial properties.

In addition to the damage caused by the flames, smoke, and heat, there is often water damage from the extinguishing efforts. Fire damage can be very costly to repair and often results in a property becoming temporarily uninhabitable.

If you encounter fire damage, please contact PuroClean Restoration of Nanaimo immediately. Our professionals have the experience and expertise to handle both residential and commercial fire cleanup jobs. We will work quickly to minimize the damage and restore your property to its former condition.

The Fast and the Blazing

On December 23, 2022, a business owner in Nanaimo, BC, called us to request fire damage restoration after an overnight blaze at their fast food restaurant. The fire caused heavy smoke in the interior and severe damage to the exterior of the building.

When our certified technicians arrived at the scene, we realized the extent of the damage was worse than we had anticipated. The entire structure had been severely compromised, with the damage reaching as high as 20 feet, creating a challenge for our crew to insulate and contain the property.

Our technicians required ladders to reach the damage.

Along with the restoration challenge, the weather wasn’t on our side. The icy rain, wind, and freezing temperatures created a sense of urgency to restore the property to its pre-loss condition before conditions worsened.

After conducting a thorough assessment, we secured the structure the prevent further damage.

Then, we used our professional PuroClean equipment to sanitize all affected areas. We utilized our air scrubber with a charcoal filter and ionizer to circulate and clean the air since a lot of smoke lingered in the restaurant.

Fortunately, patrons could eat in the indoor dining area comfortably by mid-afternoon once the smoke cleared. We attempted to do as much of our work as possible, but as the light began to fade and the temperature dropped, our crew completed our work and left the rest for the following day.

When we returned the next morning, we resumed our work. The building manager was extremely pleased with the finished restoration. Kudos to our fantastic team for their tremendous effort during a very cold holiday season!
