Our 7-Step Fire Damage Restoration Process for Old Town Residents
EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PRE-CLEANING
We arrive at your location within 90 minutes, any time of day or night. Our first step is emergency pre-cleaning to secure your environment, followed by complete restoration services once the fire department gives us clearance to proceed.
FIRE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Our thorough inspection assesses your property's structure and surveys the condition of your belongings. We pinpoint the fire's source, identify its type, and document everything for you and your insurance company. Only after confirming the safety of your property do we clear it for reentry.
IMMEDIATE PROPERTY SECURITY
Our team secures your property by boarding up damaged windows, doors, walls, and roofs. This immediate protection prevents further damage and keeps your site safe and secure.
CONTENT CLEANING AND PACK-OUT
We focus on restoring rather than replacing your belongings, cleaning and repairing every salvageable item, textile, and surface. We'll keep you involved in all decisions, especially when items need off-site cleaning, and properly dispose of anything that's beyond saving.
WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
We remove all excess water with powerful equipment, then use specialized drying and dehumidification methods to prevent mold and mildew from taking hold. This keeps your property dry and healthy.
SMOKE & SOOT REMOVAL
Our deep cleaning techniques eliminate smoke and soot from every surface, while advanced deodorization removes even the most stubborn odors. We work to return your furnishings and personal belongings to their pre-fire condition.
COMPLETE PROPERTY RESTORATION
We rebuild and revitalize your property using premium materials, removing all traces of fire damage and odor. You'll return to a safe, clean home that feels like home again.
