What Did We Do?

Arriving at once equipped with all the tools needed to provide a blank canvas for the home’s restoration, our team got to work assessing the extent of the fire’s damage. Having effected multiple rooms on the second floor, the team split into two smaller groups, working on both rooms simultaneously. Removing the bulk of the charred debris from the home, our crew was able to prioritize what little belongings were salvageable, protecting the memory of the home before the fire as much as possible. Once the damage on the second floor was mitigated, they moved downstairs to scrub away any soot that may have accumulated from the smoke that had filled the house just days prior.
