Fire & Smoke Restoration
A fire, no matter how large or small, can be very devastating. Along with the fire and smoke damage, you may also suffer from water damage and falling debris. Quick response along with the many years of knowledge in the fire and water restoration industry sets Sun-Brite apart from the rest. There are many things you will worry about after a fire loss and that is where the experts at Sun-Brite come in. Emergency services in getting contents out of the wet debris and into a secure dry environment may be necessary. Sun-Brite will also document your loss, pack out all the restorable contents, deodorize and restore the contents as needed, and finally, move the contents back into your home or commercial space.
Evaluation
Sun-Brite’s highly skilled and knowledgeable staff will conduct a contents evaluation and separate those contents that are restorable from those contents that are not restorable. An up-front evaluation of the contents is very important in establishing a course of action that is needed. The evaluation not only will speed up the restoration process but will save time and money by not trying to restore contents that we already know cannot be restored. We also know that there are items that may not be completely restorable but hold a sentimental value and, in some cases, warrant a restoration attempt.
Inventory
We use Icat, which is an industry specific photographic inventory software. Every item is photographed before being packed and each box is bar coded and scanned, to insure a detailed and accurate accounting of your personal possessions.
All non boxed items, such as appliances, furniture, etc. are also tagged with a bar coding and scanned for accuracy. Every location within our vast warehouse has a bar coding assigned and every piece of furniture and every box is scanned into a location.
This insures our ability to know where every single item is inside our warehouse, with a simple stroke of the keyboard or scan from a phone or tablet.
We use the same photographic software to inventory the non salvage items. Every client and their insurance carrier will get a photographic inventory and a corresponding spreadsheet of all non salvage items.
Non-Salvageable Inventory
Some fires are so devastating that there are not any restorable contents. In these cases, Sun-Brite will dig through debris and separate contents from the debris. We will inspect and identify these contents and will conduct a non-salvageable inventory along with photo documentation.
Specialty Restoration
Sun-Brite also has experts to restore contents such as fine oriental rugs, valuable artwork, collectibles, antiques, guns and more. We realize that your contents are valuable and important to you so we have gone to great lengths to insure that all of your contents are treated with the up most respect and care.

Area Cleaning and Deodorizing
Not all fires are severe and in some cases smoke damage and soot may not be visible or may be limited to a much smaller area. In fires such as these, an in-house area cleaning and deodorization may be all that’s needed. Ozone deodorization and/or thermal fogging may be used in conjunction with air scrubbers. A complete cleaning of both the area and contents will be conducted. Cleaning and sealing of the duct system along with cleaning and checking the air handler is also conducted. Cleaning includes (but is not limited to) walls, windows, flooring, light fixtures, cabinets (inside and out), fans, bath fixtures, window treatments, furniture, upholstery, and all exposed contents.
