Fire doesn’t have to destroy a building to disrupt everything inside it. Even a small fire can send smoke through ductwork, leave soot on surfaces, and compromise air quality for days or weeks. In large commercial facilities—offices, schools, hospitals, government buildings—the scope and complexity of fire and smoke cleanup grows exponentially. That’s where Anderson Group International brings unmatched experience and coordination.
As one of California’s most trusted restoration contractors, we don’t just respond to fire damage. We manage entire environments, from smoke mitigation to full-scale restoration of electronics, furniture, HVAC, and structure. In this post, we’ll break down what makes commercial fire cleanup so demanding, and how our team approaches it with precision and care.
Rapid Response With Safety at the Forefront
As soon as the fire is out, the clock starts ticking. Soot is acidic and begins corroding surfaces immediately. Smoke residue clings to electronics, medical equipment, furniture, and documents. We mobilize quickly to assess the damage, create a containment plan, and begin emergency fire cleanup to stop secondary damage from setting in.
Our licensed teams work closely with safety officers, building engineers, and property managers to ensure proper shutdowns, security clearances, and safety protocols—especially in sensitive spaces like schools, labs, and healthcare centers.
Soot Removal and Smoke Odor Elimination
Commercial fires spread soot further than most people expect. HVAC systems circulate smoke into rooms far from the original fire, even through sealed spaces. Our crews provide full soot removal services, addressing both visible and hidden contamination.
We also tackle odors at the source. Smoke odor removal in large facilities requires commercial-grade ozone treatments, hydroxyl machines, and thermal fogging. We treat air ducts with HVAC smoke cleaning, replace filters, and sanitize components to ensure safe, breathable air throughout the building.
Preserving and Restoring Valuable Contents
Fire doesn’t just harm structure—it threatens what’s inside. We offer full contents restoration services, including fire damaged contents cleaning, electronics restoration after fire, and soft goods restoration services for furniture, uniforms, and textiles.
Items are inventoried, packed out, cleaned, deodorized, and returned when the property is ready. For critical materials like documents or art, we provide document drying and restoration and art and collectibles restoration using industry-specific techniques.
Full-Scale Structural Recovery
Beyond cleaning, we rebuild. Whether fire damaged walls, ceilings, or entire floors, our construction teams restore your property efficiently and to code. We coordinate home fire damage repair for multi-tenant buildings, and handle permitting, inspections, and structural assessments to ensure every space is safe and ready for use.
Why Experience Matters in Commercial Fire Response
Large facilities have layered systems—HVAC, alarms, elevators, data lines. Our technicians understand how fire affects not just materials, but operations. We’ve restored schools mid-semester, rebuilt offices without displacing tenants, and cleaned government buildings while maintaining compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
This is more than just fire damage restoration. It’s managing disruption with minimal downtime, maximum transparency, and total accountability.
Fire doesn’t have to shut you down. With Anderson Group International, your property—and your operations—are in expert hands from the moment we arrive.
