Fire

A fire is a disaster that spreads extremely quickly and destroys everything in its path. While there are many possible causes, the main ones remain faulty electrical appliances and human negligence.

The aftermath of a fire requires immediate restoration work—starting with soot removal, specialized cleaning, and odor neutralization, and continuing with the repair of damaged structures and the restoration of property.

The specialists at TuriuŽalą.lt ensure that your building or premises can once again become safe, livable, and fully functional.

Frequently Asked Questions After a Fire

Is post-fire cleaning covered by insurance?

Yes. If you have valid property insurance, the cleaning services after a fire are covered by your insurance company. Our team works directly with insurers, representing the client’s interests. We handle all the necessary paperwork so you don’t have to worry.

How long does the whole process take from request to cleaning?

We usually carry out an inspection within 1–2 working days after your request. The actual cleaning time depends on the extent of the damage, but typically it takes anywhere from a few days to a week.

Can I stay in the property during the cleaning?

If there are no hazardous substances or strong odors, in some cases it’s possible to stay. However, in most situations we recommend moving out temporarily for your comfort and safety.

Do I need to remove furniture or belongings before cleaning?

No. We take care of everything. If needed, our team will move or protect your furniture and belongings during the process.

Is it possible to save burned furniture and appliances?

Sometimes, yes. Our specialists assess whether furniture and electronic devices (such as TVs, microwaves, or washing machines) can be safely cleaned and restored. If not, we help document the losses for your insurance claim.

Can I contact you if the fire only affected one room?

Yes, absolutely. Whether the fire damaged your entire property or just a single room, cleaning is still essential. Smoke and soot spread throughout the home, and their particles can be very harmful to health. In addition, the water used to extinguish the fire can lead to mold growth. Proper cleaning is especially important for those with respiratory conditions, asthma, or allergies.

Property Restoration Begins

Permit handling

We make every effort to obtain the insurer’s permission to begin specialized cleaning even before the cost estimate is finalized. Once approved, we start with specialized cleaning and dismantling of movable and immovable property, as well as odor removal.

Movable property damage

We prepare a detailed cost estimate for the specialized cleaning and disposal of movable property, supported by photo documentation. Each item is listed with its quantity, description of the damage, and reason for disposal. We also communicate with the client regarding item values and take individual photos of all items.

Estimate adjustments

If additional damage is discovered during dismantling, we document it, notify the insurer, and make the necessary corrections to the cost estimate.

Cleaning work

After cleaning and dismantling are completed, the affected person signs a work completion report, which we then submit to the insurance company.

Restoration Work

Restoration work

We begin the restoration of real estate according to the approved estimate. Once the work is completed, you confirm the quality and sign a completion report, which we then submit to the insurance company. In cases of major damage, interim reports are prepared during the process.
