Fire Damage Restoration & Reconstruction in Boise, Idaho

The call came in after a basement fire disrupted what had been a quiet Boise, Idaho neighborhood. What started in the lower level of the home quickly filled the structure with smoke and soot, leaving the homeowners facing extensive damage, safety concerns, and an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. Like many residential fires, the impact went far beyond the area where the flames began—smoke traveled upward, soot settled into living spaces, and the home was no longer safe to occupy. This real fire damage restoration project documents how Standard Restoration stepped in to stabilize the property, guide the homeowners through the process, and restore the home from emergency response through full reconstruction.

Emergency Response & Property Security

Immediately after the fire, the home needed to be secured to prevent further damage, weather exposure, or unauthorized access. Fires often leave properties vulnerable, and fast action is critical. Standard Restoration responded promptly, installing temporary fencing and stabilizing the site so the homeowner could focus on next steps while a clear restoration plan was developed.

Fire Origin Identified in the Basement

During the initial inspection, Standard Restoration identified the fire’s origin in the basement. This area contained a workshop and mechanical systems that sustained direct flame exposure. Structural framing, stored contents, and surrounding materials were heavily damaged by heat and combustion, requiring immediate fire mitigation.

Extensive Basement Fire Damage

As the fire progressed, damage spread throughout the basement. Walls and ceilings were heavily charred, and thick soot coated nearly every surface. This level of damage confirmed that a comprehensive fire damage restoration process was required—not just surface cleaning or limited repairs.

Smoke & Soot Spread to Upper Levels

Although the fire began in the basement, smoke quickly traveled upward through the home due to airflow and the stack effect. Door frames, trim, and interior walls on upper floors showed visible soot staining. This type of smoke damage is common in Boise homes and must be addressed early to protect indoor air quality and prevent long-term odor problems.

Detailed Soot Removal & Fire Cleanup

Standard Restoration technicians began detailed soot removal using professional, industry-approved methods. Confined spaces, vertical chases, and interior surfaces were carefully hand-cleaned to eliminate residue and prevent permanent staining. HEPA air filtration and odor control methods were used throughout the home to create a safe environment for reconstruction.

Contents Pack-Out & Interior Damage Assessment

To allow for deeper restoration work, fire-damaged contents were carefully packed out, documented, and removed. This step is essential in fire restoration projects, as it allows access to hidden damage and prevents cross-contamination during cleanup.

Soot Damage in Living Spaces & Kitchen

Even areas untouched by flames showed heavy soot contamination. Bedrooms, hallways, and kitchen cabinetry required professional cleaning and restoration to ensure the home was safe, clean, and fully remediated.

Demolition & Structural Tear-Out

Once mitigation was complete, damaged drywall, insulation, and compromised building materials were removed. In several areas, tear-out extended into wall cavities and framing to ensure all fire and smoke residues were fully eliminated before rebuilding began.
