Professional Fire Damage

The damage from fire is immediate and apparent, but the destruction caused by smoke is just as devastating. The smoke clings to all surfaces - walls, ceilings, clothing, appliances, and furniture. Traditional cleanup may help in removing any visible traces, but the very nature of smoke seeps into cracks and crevices that ordinary cleaning materials may miss on their first sweep. Furthermore, smoke residue can erode surfaces, slowly but progressively creating more damage with the passage of time while the smoke odor lingers. It is also highly toxic in nature and can cause sickness or irritation to both humans and animals in your residence. Metals corrode over time with exposure to water, succumbing to rust. Fires tend to speed up the rusting and corrosion, which may pose a danger to those living in a house previously fallen victim to one.

Mold Remediation

Mold grows in damp and wet conditions and when it grows in buildings and homes, it can cause serious health issues, including respiratory complications, allergic reactions, and severe nervous system disorders and even cancer. ​ Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.  Any untreated or unresolved water damage can lead to mold.  When mold is discovered it requires the proper handling, removal, and protection measures.

Water Damage Expert

Living on the Coast and near waterways, the chances of having water in our homes and businesses is not unlikely.  Whether the water damage is from a plumbing issue, a broken appliance, or a natural disaster or storm, water damage is a serious problem that needs immediate attention. ​ The faster the water is removed and the drying process begins, the less damage will be inflicted on your home or business. Water warps and disintegrates woods, corrodes steel, ruins textiles, and causes short circuits in your electrical supply system. And when it is left unaddressed and improperly mitigated, it can create fire hazards and can lead to mold and microbial growth. ​ Speed is an important factor in reducing loss from water damage. If addressed in time, we can use in-place drying techniques that are relatively noninvasive and prevent the need for extensive demolition and restoration.
