First Call handles your personal belongings with the utmost care during the contents pack-out process. We conduct a detailed inventory, carefully pack your items, transport them to our secure, climate-controlled facility, and then professionally clean, deodorize, and restore them to their pre-loss condition. Once the on-site restoration work is complete, we repack everything and deliver it safely back to your home.

In situations where space on the property is limited or extensive structural repairs are needed, our team will perform the full pack-out, off-site cleaning, deodorization, and restoration to ensure nothing is overlooked and your possessions are protected throughout the recovery.

Secure Enclosure Services

Fires frequently leave windows shattered, doors compromised, and roofs breached—whether from intense heat, smoke damage, structural weakening, or even firefighting efforts to ventilate the blaze. To shield your home from prying eyes, potential vandals, trespassers, or harsh weather that could cause even more harm, First Call promptly installs secure board-ups over affected doors and windows using durable materials. We also apply heavy-duty roof tarping to cover any damaged or exposed sections, effectively blocking rain, wind, debris, and further deterioration until full repairs can be completed. These essential protective steps help preserve your property's integrity during the restoration process.

Subfloor Clearance & Sanitization

Carpet affected by fire, smoke, soot, or water from extinguishing efforts can often be successfully restored to look and feel like new. First Call utilizes advanced, industry-approved cleaning techniques and specialized solutions that effectively remove contaminants while preserving the integrity of the carpet fibers—aiming to return them to their original pre-loss appearance whenever feasible.

Our certified technicians conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best course of action. If restoration proves possible through careful cleaning, deodorization, and extraction processes, we'll handle it with precision to avoid any further fiber damage. In cases where the carpet or padding is too severely compromised—such as from heavy charring, deep saturation, or irreversible contamination—we'll safely remove and dispose of the materials in full compliance with local regulations, paving the way for proper replacement.

Particulate Soot Decontamination

Particulate Soot Decontamination targets the tiny, harmful soot particles and toxic residues that linger after a fire or puff back. These microscopic, often oily contaminants penetrate deep into surfaces, HVAC systems, and porous materials—posing serious health risks through poor air quality and long-term exposure. Professional removal is essential, as they can be invisible, odorless, or difficult to detect.

First Call uses advanced HEPA air scrubbers, specialized vacuums, chemical sponges, and targeted air purification to thoroughly capture and eliminate these particulates from surfaces, ducts, and the air. Our certified team assesses the damage and applies precise decontamination methods to fully restore your property to a safe, clean, pre-loss condition—ensuring healthier air and peace of mind.
