Fire Damage Restoration in Reading

Example project scope

Interior fire-damage rebuild, Allentown, PA

Allentown, PA (Lehigh Valley)

Phased interior rebuild after fire damage affected multiple rooms. Work moved from safety assessment through selective demo, smoke decontamination, and coordinated finish restoration with documented scope at each stage for insurance communication.

• Initial site walk with safety check — structural stability verified, utilities confirmed off, and affected zones marked before any work began
• Selective demo of fire-damaged drywall, trim, and insulation down to framing; salvageable structure separated from unsalvageable material to control rebuild scope and cost
• Smoke and soot residue cleaned from exposed framing, subfloor, and mechanical surfaces using dry sponge and HEPA-filtered vacuum before any new material went in
• Suppression-water moisture mapped with pin meter across subfloor and wall cavities; wet zones dried and verified before closing up walls

Electrical rough-in inspected per local code before wall close-up. Structural repairs documented for insurance scope review.

Shown to illustrate rebuild sequencing and documentation depth. Every fire is different — your scope will depend on damage extent and affected systems.
