Fire consumes practically all types of buildings and materials, but did you know that the water used to put out a fire can cause considerable damage beyond that caused by the fire? Contents such as carpeting, flooring, furniture, walls, window treatments, electronics, and more absorb the water and chemical agents used to extinguish the fire. If not properly cleaned and dried, long-term structural and property damage may result.

Drywalls
For Mold growth to happen, mold spores require organic material such as drywall, paper boxes or wood furniture for the mold spore to grow and colonize into mold.

Ceiling Fans
Clean, sanitize, and disinfect – Using state-of-the-art equipment and safe, professional-grade solutions, we clean every surface: floors, ceiling, windows, woodwork, walls, ceiling fans, light fixtures, mirrors, etc. Once we confirm smoke odor has been thoroughly eliminated, we sanitize and deodorize the affected area to ensure you return to a safe, clean environment.
More often, the drain is there but becomes clogged with debris such as leaves, soil or landscaping materials. This will cause the drain to run slowly or not at all.

Irrigation Systems
Is there a lawn/shrub irrigation system discharging too much water next to the house? Avoid placing lawn irrigation next to the house. If this cannot be avoided, instruct the installer to limit the amount of water dispersed next to the house. Make sure the irrigation system includes a working rainstat so the system does not turn on when there has already been plenty of rain for the plants and lawn.
Basement remodeling can be the most affordable option for increasing your living space. Years ago, there were no building codes regarding egress windows and doors. Please do not chance that your loved ones will be aroused quickly enough by the smoke detectors or alarms to escape up the stairs and out the main floor exits during an emergency.

Gutters
According to a report from the University of Minnesota, “the simplest and least costly techniques are to remove excessive internal moisture sources in the basement (humidifiers, cooking) and ventilate other sources (clothes dryer, bathroom).” This will help to keep your basement drier, reducing the possibility of mold proliferation. The report also recommends ventilation with an air conditioner instead of using warm, humid outside air. After removing the interior sources of moisture, you should examine gutters and downspouts as well as exterior surface grading. If any of these seem to be functioning improperly (i.e. they are not directing water away from the house) those problems should be remedied. If the above steps have been taken and water is still entering the basement, contact us for a free estimate. We will examine your problem and present to you the best possible solution.
Siding
Residential Roof Repair
A fire ripped through the construction of the new station, causing both damage to the structure, as well as burn and smoke damage. The building, standing four stories tall, caught fire when the roofing material caught fire from welders above the roof line, as a result, most of the building was damaged. Burning material was thrown into the elevator shaft, causing smoke and soot damage to all four floors and to the brick on both the exterior and interior of the roof. We were brought in for the fire restoration and smoke damage clean up.
2. DAMAGE TO YOUR HOME: Rotted wood, soaked insulation, deteriorated carpets and ruined appliances are all inevitable results of having wet basement problems.
Masonry
It is called Efflorescence. It is caused by moisture in the cement block or wall dissolving the calcium and lime that bonds the masonry together. The minerals leech out of the masonry and are left as residue as the water evaporates.
