Call PAB Restoration 24/7 for immediate fire damage help
The moment you contact PAB Restoration after a fire, our emergency response protocol activates. Time is critical after fire damage—every hour of delay allows smoke odors to penetrate deeper into materials, soot to cause further corrosion, and water from firefighting efforts to create water damage and potential mold growth.
Our 24/7 emergency response team provides:
We understand that fire damage creates vulnerability. Our immediate property securing protects your investment and provides peace of mind during this difficult time.
Once your property is secured, our certified fire restoration technicians conduct a thorough damage assessment. This inspection evaluates:
We document everything with detailed photographs, moisture readings, temperature data, and written reports for insurance purposes. Our comprehensive documentation ensures accurate insurance claims and helps you understand the full scope of restoration work required.
Our fire damage assessment categorizes areas into:
Understanding the fire classification helps us select appropriate cleaning methods and restoration techniques.
Firefighting efforts often introduce hundreds or thousands of gallons of water into your property. This water can cause significant secondary damage if not addressed immediately. Our team deploys the same advanced water extraction and drying equipment used for flood restoration:
We remove standing water, dry structural materials, and monitor moisture levels daily to prevent mold growth and additional deterioration. The drying process typically takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of water saturation.
Soot and smoke residue are highly acidic and corrosive, causing ongoing damage to surfaces if not removed promptly. Different types of fires create different soot compositions requiring specialized cleaning techniques:
Dry Smoke Residue (from fast-burning, high-temperature fires):
Wet Smoke Residue (from slow-burning, low-temperature fires):
Protein Residue (from kitchen fires):
Fuel/Oil Residue (from petroleum products):
Our fire restoration technicians use professional-grade cleaning products and techniques including:
We clean all surfaces including walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, appliances, and ductwork to eliminate soot contamination completely.
Smoke odor penetrates porous materials deeply and can persist for months or years if not professionally addressed. The characteristic “burnt” smell comes from microscopic smoke particles embedded in carpets, upholstery, wood, drywall, and even within wall cavities.
PAB Restoration employs advanced odor elimination technologies:
Thermal Fogging:
Ozone Treatment:
Hydroxyl Generators:
Air Scrubbers with HEPA Filtration:
Activated Charcoal Filtration:
We never mask odors with fragrances—we eliminate them at the source. Our multi-step approach ensures your Toronto property smells fresh and clean when restoration is complete.

Kitchen fires are the leading cause of residential fires in Toronto, accounting for nearly 50% of home fire incidents. Common scenarios include:
Kitchen fires spread rapidly, producing thick smoke that permeates throughout homes. Even small cooking fires can cause extensive smoke damage requiring professional restoration.
Toronto’s older homes, particularly in neighborhoods like The Annex, Beaches, and High Park, may have outdated electrical systems susceptible to fire. Electrical fire causes include:
Electrical fires often start within walls, making them difficult to detect until significant damage occurs.
Toronto’s cold winters necessitate reliable heating systems. Heating-related fires peak during winter months and include:
Annual heating system maintenance and proper space heater use significantly reduce fire risk.
Careless smoking and unattended candles cause numerous Toronto fires annually:
These fires are entirely preventable through responsible practices and vigilance.
Clothes dryer fires result from lint accumulation and poor maintenance:
Regular dryer vent cleaning prevents most dryer fires.
While less common in urban Toronto, these natural causes still occur:
Toronto’s proximity to forested areas and changing climate patterns make wildfire preparedness increasingly important.
Modern fires burn differently than fires decades ago due to synthetic materials in contemporary homes. Today’s smoke contains highly toxic compounds:
Exposure to these toxins causes respiratory problems, eye irritation, headaches, and long-term health effects. Professional cleaning with proper protective equipment is essential.
Acidic soot residue continues damaging your property after the fire:
Every day soot remains on surfaces accelerates deterioration. Immediate professional cleaning prevents permanent damage.
Fire compromises building materials in ways not always visible:
Professional structural assessment ensures your property’s safety before reconstruction begins.
Inhaling smoke particles and soot causes immediate and long-term health problems:
Professional restoration eliminates these health hazards, creating a safe living environment.
All PAB Restoration technicians hold specialized certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), including:
Our ongoing training ensures we employ the latest fire restoration techniques and safety protocols.
