Assessing the kitchen and dining areas
The kitchen and dining room were central to the work. Project photos show damage around the upper kitchen construction, ceiling edges, and a window-side wall opening.
The cleanup had to account for both residue on surfaces and damaged construction. That meant identifying what needed cleaning and where removal was part of the fire-mitigation work.
Soot cleaning alongside selective removal
Technicians used special soot sponges for surface cleaning and removed affected baseboards and drywall. The work brought light cleaning and selective demolition together within the same rooms.
Protective equipment was used, and air scrubbers were part of the mitigation setup. The photos give a closer view of the construction involved, including exposed framing beside a window.
Keeping the building and contents work connected
Hugo prepared a work plan, an estimate for affected contents, and a photographic report. These brought the rooms, building materials, and belongings into one picture of the loss.
For this property, fire cleanup involved several kinds of work in the same area. Soot cleaning addressed affected surfaces, while removal made the damaged construction accessible for the work it required.
Cleanup completed in the kitchen and dining areas
Hugo completed the cleaning and selective material-removal work at the property. The project combined hands-on soot cleaning with attention to damaged kitchen and dining-area construction, supported by a room-by-room photo report.
