Fire can devastate a building in hours — weakening structural elements, releasing corrosive residues, and contaminating the environment with hazardous soot and debris. The speed and quality of the recovery process determines whether the property is restored to long-term integrity or left with hidden defects that will cause issues years later.

At Atomic Projects, fire restoration begins with immediate make-safe measures to stabilise the structure, prevent collapse, and secure the site. This includes shoring walls, propping floors, installing temporary weatherproofing, and isolating utilities.

Our remediation process follows strict insurance and compliance pathways:

1. Damage Assessment & Scope Creation – Detailed site inspection with structural engineers to document all visible and concealed fire damage. This includes thermal imaging to detect compromised materials and moisture mapping for areas affected by firefighting water.
2. Hazardous Material Removal – Safe disposal of contaminated debris, including asbestos, lead paint, and fire-damaged electrical components, following Work Health & Safety regulations.
3. Structural Repairs & Replacement – Repair or replace compromised steel, timber, masonry, or concrete. All works are designed and certified by engineers to meet current NCC (National Construction Code) standards.
4. Building Envelope Restoration – Replace roofing, cladding, windows, and doors to restore weatherproof integrity. Seal and insulate to improve energy performance beyond pre-loss condition.
5. Internal Rebuild – Replace fire-damaged framing, plasterboard, joinery, and finishes. Install new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to current code, ensuring performance and compliance.
6. Odour & Contaminant Removal – Use HEPA filtration, ozone treatment, and surface sealing to eliminate persistent smoke odours and prevent recontamination.
7. Compliance Certification – Prepare and submit all required compliance documentation for insurer approval and council sign-off.

Why This Matters:

Most post-fire buildings fail prematurely because initial repairs don’t address hidden corrosion, moisture, or code upgrades. We take a whole-building approach — ensuring the final asset is structurally sound, aesthetically restored, and upgraded to meet modern safety and performance requirements.

If you like this format, I’ll do Flood & Water Damage Remediation next in the exact same depth before moving to the rest of the list.

Alright — here’s Flood & Water Damage Remediation in full billionaire-tier format, same structure as the fire damage one.Flood & Water Damage RemediationTitle: Flood & Water Damage Remediation | Atomic ProjectsDescription: Rapid, precision-driven recovery from flood or water ingress – structural drying, contamination control, and full asset restoration.Image Concept: Technicians operating industrial dehumidifiers and air movers inside a stripped-out building with exposed framing.Image Alt Text: Restoration team using industrial drying equipment to remediate flood-damaged building interior.Full Service DetailWater is one of the most destructive forces in the built environment — not because of the immediate visible damage, but because of what it does over time. Within hours, moisture wicks into wall cavities and flooring. Within days, mould colonies form. Within weeks, structural timber begins to degrade, steel corrodes, and concrete reinforcement suffers carbonation.At Atomic Projects, we treat flood and water damage as a time-critical structural emergency, not just a clean-up job.Our Process

1. Immediate Isolation & Safety Control◦ Shut down electrical circuits in affected zones.◦ Install temporary barriers to contain water spread.◦ Pump out standing water using high-capacity extraction equipment.
2. Moisture Mapping & Damage Assessment◦ Use hygrometers, thermal imaging, and invasive testing to measure saturation levels in walls, floors, and substructures.◦ Identify concealed cavities where moisture is trapped — these are the future mould hotspots.
3. Structural Drying & Dehumidification◦ Deploy commercial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and desiccant dryers.◦ Remove skirting boards, lift floor coverings, and drill ventilation holes where needed for airflow.◦ Monitor daily with moisture meters until readings meet manufacturer and insurance benchmarks.
4. Contamination Control & Mould Prevention◦ Treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions.◦ Safely remove and dispose of water-logged materials that cannot be salvaged (e.g., insulation, particle board).◦ Install HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne spores and particulates.
5. Structural & Material Restoration◦ Repair or replace compromised framing, sheathing, flooring, and finishes.◦ Reinstate services (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to current NCC standards.◦ Refinish interiors with moisture-resistant materials where possible.
6. Preventive Engineering Measures◦ Investigate the root cause — drainage failure, waterproofing breach, burst pipe, or stormwater ingress.◦ Recommend and implement upgrades to prevent recurrence, such as sump pumps, membrane systems, or upgraded flashings.Why This MattersPoor flood remediation is one of the leading causes of long-term building degradation. Many contractors focus on cosmetic fixes, leaving unseen moisture and contaminants to quietly undermine the structure. Our approach ensures the building is dried to industry standards, structurally sound, contamination-free, and future-proofed.
