The protocols in place for mitigating fires in the UAE are stellar and enable prompt responses, as demonstrated by the response to a massive fire at the Dubai Marina. The fire rescue time mitigated the fire within 6 hours, and a complete evacuation was carried out safely.
While this is an impressive feat indeed, the aftereffects of a fire are seldom talked about, and the damage? Too often, fire damage is overlooked until it's too late to recover what's been lost. Fire damage is generally accompanied by water damage resulting from the fire fighting efforts. If debris removal and restoration work don’t start quickly, secondary damage can cause irreparable harm to building equipment and other contents.. At Essco, we understand the urgency and complexity involved — that's why we provide fast, reliable, and expert smoke and fire damage restoration services, trusted by clients for their efficiency and high standards.

Fires can start for many reasons, but it’s crucial to understand the wide-ranging damage they can cause to your buildings. Damage from fire goes beyond visible and immediate destruction—the soot and smoke can penetrate deep within the building’s walls, HVAC systems and furniture. Water damage from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth and metal corrosion. If not properly addressed, this hidden contamination can pose serious long-term health and material risks.
Thermal Damage: This refers to the primary damage caused directly by the fire . The intense heat can lead to excessive charring of wooden items , melting of metallic components, and significant structural weakening. Thermal damage typically causes the most visible and immediate destruction
Smoke Damage: Smoke damage is a long-lasting, secondary effect of a fire. Smoke and soot can infiltrate the walls, furniture, equipment, and HVAC systems leaving behind stain, odours and toxic residues . Prolonged exposure can pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues. Different types of smoke-dry, wet, and fuel-based—each require specialized cleaning techniques.
Water Damage: water damage in a fire affected property is the unspoken, accompanying damage occurring as a result of firefighting. If not addressed promptly, residual water, damp structures, and wet contents can lead to mold growth, metal corrosion, and further structural deterioration. This often-overlooked tertiary damage can significantly impact property integrity over time.
At Essco, we’ve extensively studied the full range of fire-related damages and developed expert extraction and cleaning techniques to restore affected properties. Every project is approached with a critical eye and a fresh perspective, allowing us to effectively mitigate damage and ensure complete, risk-free recovery.
We have a step-by-step process to restore the damage to your buildings effectively:
Emergency Services
Once you place a call, our customer care team takes the essential details and arrange to send one of our smoke and fire damage restoration specialists immediately to the site for an initial assessment. Our team will then follow up and conduct a thorough assessment. Depending on the clarity of information provided, the nature of the fire damage, and access clearance, Essco may also mobilize a team in parallel to accelerate the response
Assessment Services
The on-site assessment helps our experts develop a time-sensitive restoration plan tailored to the building's needs. This plan is developed after evaluating the restorable damages, priorities and site conditions.
Hazard-Zoning Services
The site of the damage is then taped off as an off-limit zone. We provide taping-up services to isolate areas and prevent unauthorised entry of personnel.
Water Removal Services
The leftover water must be siphoned to prevent mould growth. Our team will lead a comprehensive water extraction effort with our advanced pumps and vacuums. Check out our water damage restoration services!
Smoke and Soot Removal Services
Smoke and soot can penetrate deeply into surfaces, leaving stains, trapping hazardous particles within wall and ceiling cavities. These contaminants will continue to emit unpleasant odours if not removed timely. Our team uses specialised techniques and advanced equipment to thoroughly remove all residues ensuring your space is safe, clean and free of lingering pollutants.
Structural Repair Services
This is the most time-consuming phase of the restoration process. However, our skilled contractors will devise a time-sensitive, safety focussed plan to speed up the process without compromising the quality. The structural repairs will involve drywall placement, flooring repairs, replacement of wooden elements, and HVAC systems.
Content Restoration Services
We provide service to restore any salvageable items of sentimental value damaged by smoke and fire. We catalogue the recovered items , and depending on the extent of damage , we restore them to their original condition with meticulous attention to detail.
