FIRE DAMAGE REPAIR
We specialize in fire damage repair – with years of experience repairing fire and smoke damage. After providing immediate emergency assistance to secure the property and prevent further damage, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of the damage caused directly by the fire as these areas often require a complete renovation. Then our crew will consider the damage caused by heat and smoke. We can conduct the professional cleaning necessary to restore carpets, walls, and other objects that were saturated by smoke and covered in soot.
OUR PROCESS:
- Immediate emergency assessment of property structure, electrical and plumbing
- Assess direct fire damage caused by burning Areas that have been burned often require complete removal. If you have burned or charred furniture, wood, drywall, flooring these items are almost never salvageable.
- Assess direct fire damage caused by heat Items that were not directly involved in the fire could have sustained damage from the heat of the fire. Examples of items that may need repair include electrical wiring, roof, plumbing fixtures, carpeting, drywall, etc.
- Assess direct fire damage caused by smoke Smoke damage is often the largest issue that requires professional restoration. Smoke and soot damage will be in the properties carpet, drywall, and other porous materials and will require professional cleaning (ozone or vaportek technology) to extract.
- Assess direct water or chemical damage as a result of the extinguishing process Fire extinguishing can lead to additional damage to your property. Depending on the type of fire and the method use to extinguish the flames, you may need to utilize water extraction and drying procedures to restore your property.
- Deploy a restoration strategy – emergency board up, water removal, air purification and complete reconstruction when necessary.

ASBESTOS TESTING AND REMOVAL
If you have experienced any damage to your property that was constructed prior to 1990, it may be contaminated with asbestos materials. We strongly suggest that before any repairs take place, that you request asbestos testing. The risk of cross contamination of these materials will result in lengthy insurance battles and reconstruction efforts.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND ASBESTOS:
If unsure whether or not material contains asbestos, an asbestos certified technician can inspect to sample and test the material for you. Asbestos should only be handled and removed by trained professionals. If possible, the best thing to do is to leave material containing asbestos that is in good condition alone. Asbestos should only be handled and removed by trained professionals. Before you have your home or business remodeled, you should find out whether asbestos-containing materials are present. As a result of a loss event, if material containing asbestos is found (i.e., unraveling, frayed, breaking apart) the affected area should immediately be isolated (keep pets and children away) and refrain from disturbing the material (either by touching it or walking on it).
