Fire Damage Restoration from the Professionals

After a fire is put out, there are always corrosive byproducts still present such as smoke and soot.  These byproducts can spread to areas that the fire didn’t reach and settle on objects and surfaces that are otherwise unaffected.  This is why it is important to start the restoration process quickly.  The acidic nature of smoke and soot causes corrosive damage and discoloration to the objects and surfaces it affects, and the damage will become permanent unless it is treated quickly.

The first steps of our fire damage restoration process are to stabilize major damage and start cleaning objects and materials affected by smoke and soot.  Our powerful cleaning products will help remove the tarnishing and etching caused by the soot and smoke to salvage the materials before they are permanently damaged.  We will cover every aspect of the restoration process including the cleaning and repair, no matter the scope of the damage.

It can be difficult to decide if you need to file an insurance claim when your property sustains fire damage.  Our technicians can help you make this decision by assessing the scope and cost of the damage compared to your deductible.  We also provide direct billing services to bill your insurance company for the claim if you do file a claim.
