Fire restoration questions

A few things you may be wondering.

Can I go back inside after the fire is out?

Wait until the fire department says it is safe to enter. Fire damage can affect the structure and utilities even when a room looks intact. Follow the fire department's instructions about access.

Can smoke odor be removed?

We assess where smoke traveled, clean affected surfaces, and choose odor treatments for the materials involved. Some damaged materials need removal. We explain what can be cleaned and what needs replacement before that work begins.

What happens to my furniture and personal belongings?

We inventory and document affected items, then assess what can be cleaned. A partial or complete pack-out may be needed for cleaning and storage. Tell us about valuables and sentimental items so we can discuss any specialist restoration they may need.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

We photograph the damage, keep records of the cleanup, and communicate with your adjuster. Ask your insurer about your coverage, deductible, and any temporary living expenses. Your insurer determines what the policy covers.

Who handles repairs after the cleanup?

Professional trades perform repairs and rebuilding, including our sister company, Keselman Construction Group. Our project manager facilitates communications between you, the municipality, suppliers, and the tradesmen. Explore our completed restoration projects to see the cleanup and the work that followed.
