Q: What should I do immediately after a fire in my home or business?

A: Safety is the first priority. Evacuate everyone from the property, call 911 if needed, and then contact RCS Builders. We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage stabilization, including board-ups, roof tarping, and structural shoring, to prevent further damage while planning full restoration.

Q: Can RCS Builders clean smoke and soot from my property?

A: Yes. Our team performs comprehensive smoke and soot removal from walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and personal contents. Using industry-standard methods and advanced equipment, we restore air quality, remove odors, and clean all affected surfaces.

Q: How does fire damage restoration work?

A: Fire restoration is multi-step. We start with emergency stabilization, followed by debris removal, smoke/soot cleanup, odor neutralization, structural drying if water was used for suppression, and finally reconstruction. Our goal is to restore safety, functionality, and aesthetics.

Q: Do you restore contents damaged by fire?

A: Yes. We offer content pack-out and restoration services, including electronics cleaning, document recovery, and specialty items. Every item is inventoried, cleaned, stored securely, and returned to you once fully restored.

Q: Can you rebuild my home or business after a fire?

A: Absolutely. RCS Builders specializes in complete fire damage reconstruction for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. From structural framing to final finishes, we ensure your property is rebuilt safely, code-compliant, and ready for occupancy.

Q: What about insurance claims after a fire?

A: We assist with insurance documentation, detailed estimates, and direct coordination with carriers to maximize your claim and reduce stress during the restoration process.

Q: Can RCS Builders handle commercial and industrial fire damage?

A: Yes. We specialize in full-service fire reconstruction for commercial and industrial properties, including warehouses, office buildings, retail spaces, and multi-unit complexes. Our goal is to restore operations quickly while meeting all safety and code requirements.

Q: Do you handle smoke odors after a fire?

A: Yes. Using thermal fogging, air scrubbers, HEPA filtration, and advanced odor neutralization, we permanently eliminate smoke odors instead of masking them, restoring clean indoor air for safe occupancy.

Q: How do you prevent secondary damage after a fire?

A: Fires often leave water, smoke, and soot damage behind. We stabilize structures with board-ups, roof tarping, and shoring, extract water from suppression efforts, remove soot and debris, and implement drying and odor-neutralization procedures. This prevents mold growth, structural weakening, and further deterioration.

Q: Can you repair fire-damaged HVAC systems or ductwork?

A: Yes. Smoke can infiltrate HVAC systems, spreading odors and soot throughout the property. We provide professional smoke duct cleaning, filtration, and air quality restoration to ensure clean, safe air after a fire.

Q: Do you provide post-restoration cleaning and sanitization?

A: Yes. After repairs and reconstruction, we perform comprehensive post-restoration cleaning to remove lingering dust, soot, and debris. This ensures the property is safe, sanitary, and ready for occupancy.

Q: Are your fire restoration services safe for families and pets?

A: Absolutely. Our team uses industry-certified cleaning, deodorization, and air-filtration techniques, eliminating hazardous soot and odors. We follow IICRC standards to create a safe environment for occupants once restoration is complete.

Q: Do you handle emergency access after a fire?

A: Yes. Fires sometimes leave doors, windows, or roofs compromised. We provide emergency board-ups, temporary fencing, and roof tarping to secure the property, protect belongings, and prevent further damage until restoration begins.

Q: How long does fire damage restoration typically take?

A: The timeline depends on severity and scope of damage, but our team works efficiently to stabilize, clean, and rebuild your property. Minor damage may take a few days, while full residential or commercial reconstruction can take weeks to months. We communicate clearly and provide detailed project timelines.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration & Rebuild in the Greater Phoenix Area

When a fire impacts your property, the damage extends far beyond what is immediately visible. Smoke, soot, heat, and water used to extinguish the fire can compromise structural integrity, indoor air quality, and critical systems throughout the building. RCS Builders provides comprehensive fire and smoke damage restoration services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties, managing the entire process from emergency stabilization through full reconstruction.

Our team focuses on restoring safety, functionality, and long-term value. We don’t just clean up the damage — we rebuild and return properties to service.

Immediate Fire Damage Response & Stabilization

Rapid response after a fire is essential to prevent additional damage and protect the structure. Our team provides prompt fire damage repair and stabilization services designed to secure the property and establish a controlled restoration environment.

Services include emergency board-up of compromised openings, roof tarping to protect exposed roofing systems, structural shoring and stabilization where integrity has been affected, and temporary power and site lighting to support safe access and continued recovery operations. These measures help prevent weather intrusion, unauthorized entry, and further deterioration while restoration planning is underway. We also document all damage and coordinate with your insurance provider to ensure a smooth claims process and faster recovery.

Fire, Smoke, and Soot Cleanup

Fire damage often leaves behind widespread smoke residue and soot contamination that can affect nearly every surface. We perform detailed fire damage cleanup to remove debris, residues, and contaminants from structural materials and interior finishes.

Our smoke damage restoration process includes comprehensive smoke and soot removal from walls, ceilings, framing, and contents. We also address HVAC systems impacted by smoke infiltration through professional smoke duct cleaning to prevent odor recirculation and indoor air quality issues.

Odor Control & Indoor Air Quality Management

Lingering smoke odors require more than surface cleaning. We utilize advanced odor neutralization methods designed to permanently eliminate fire-related odors rather than mask them.

Our services include thermal fogging to penetrate porous materials where smoke odors embed, as well as professional air scrubber and HEPA filtration setup to remove airborne particulates and contaminants during restoration. These processes restore clean indoor air and support safe occupancy.

Water Damage Cleanup After Fire

Fire suppression efforts frequently result in water damage that must be addressed promptly to prevent secondary issues. We provide targeted water damage cleanup following fire events, including water extraction, drying, and moisture control.

By addressing post-fire water damage early, we help reduce delays, prevent material degradation, and keep reconstruction projects on schedule.

Contents & Specialty Restoration

Personal belongings, equipment, and sensitive materials are often affected by smoke and soot even when structural damage is limited. We provide professional content pack-out and restoration services, including inventory, secure storage, cleaning, and return of salvageable items.

Specialty restoration services include electronics restoration for fire-affected equipment, as well as document and art restoration for records, photographs, and valuable items requiring specialized care.

Fire Damage Demolition & Reconstruction

In cases where materials or structures cannot be restored, controlled demolition is required to prepare the property for rebuilding. We perform safe and efficient fire damage demolition, removing unsalvageable components while preserving structural elements that can be retained.

RCS Builders specializes in complete fire damage rebuild and reconstruction services. We manage residential fire reconstruction for single-family and multi-family properties, as well as commercial and industrial fire reconstruction projects. From structural framing through final finishes, we oversee the rebuild process to restore properties to safe, code-compliant condition with a focus on durability and functionality.

Final Cleaning & Return to Service

Once restoration and reconstruction are complete, we perform detailed post-restoration cleaning and sanitization to prepare the property for occupancy. This final phase ensures the space is clean, safe, and ready for use, whether it is a home, business, or industrial facility.
