Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond after a fire?
We prioritize emergency fire damage situations and can typically respond within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on current demand. We understand that prompt action is essential to prevent further damage and begin the recovery process.
How much demolition is necessary after fire damage?
The extent of necessary demolition depends on several factors, including the severity of the fire, the materials affected, and the structural integrity of the building. In some cases, only selective demolition of obviously damaged materials is needed, while in others, more extensive or complete demolition may be required. Our assessment will determine the appropriate approach.
Will my insurance cover fire damage demolition?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover fire damage, including necessary demolition work. We can work directly with your insurance adjuster to document the damage and necessary work, helping to streamline the claims process.
How do you handle smoke damage during demolition?
Smoke damage often extends beyond the areas directly affected by fire. We assess the full extent of smoke damage and remove affected materials as necessary. For materials that can be salvaged, we prepare them for professional cleaning by restoration specialists.
Can you salvage any materials after a fire?
Depending on the severity of the fire and the materials involved, some structural elements and components may be salvageable. Our team carefully evaluates all materials and preserves those that remain structurally sound and can be properly cleaned and restored.
