CASE STUDY: External Fire Damage Assessment and Non-Restorable Asset Determination

On 19th September 2025, Elite Restoration attended a residential property with the insured to assess damage following an early morning fire event.

The fire, occurring around 4:00 am, impacted external areas, though the exact origin remained unclear.

Inspection findings confirmed damage consistent with direct fire exposure and radiant heat affecting outdoor structures and contents.

Damage was observed across boundary fencing, vegetation, outdoor furniture, and external fittings, with several items heavily compromised by fire.

Based on IICRC S700 fire restoration standards, many affected materials were deemed non-restorable due to irreversible damage.

While some outdoor furniture showed partial restorable characteristics, safety and durability concerns indicated that replacement would be the more appropriate outcome.

Elite Restoration conducted a detailed external inspection, documenting all affected elements and confirming that temporary fencing had already been installed to secure the site.

Structural items including fencing, irrigation systems, and lighting bollards were identified as non-restorable and requiring replacement.

No internal damage was identified during the assessment, and no active remediation works were required at the time of attendance.

Our Process for Homes and Warehouses

Fires can start from many sources, like kitchen mishaps or a tool battery in a shed.

The residue acts like glue and grabs onto everything.

Here is how we handle different areas without the drama.

• Structure: Soot removal, then seal if needed, so smells do not return.

• Metal and chrome: Neutralise fast, so rust does not party on your taps.

• Floors: HEPA vacuum, then wash, so footprints do not look like a coal mine tour.

• Ceilings: Dry sponge first, then wet clean, so stains do not spread.

• Soft goods: Textiles get smoke removal and deodorising, so the couch stops telling smoky stories.

We can talk with your insurer, so you are not stuck on hold longer than a Monday at the motor rego.
