What to Know
Understanding Fire and Smoke Damage
Smoke and Soot Cleanup
Smoke and soot cause damage long after the fire is out. Soot is corrosive and can permanently stain surfaces, discolor paint, and damage electronics if not cleaned quickly. We use specialized techniques to clean walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and contents. Our technicians are IICRC certified for work in smoke-damaged structures and OSHA Hazwoper-40 certified for handling chemicals or other contaminants.
Puff Back Cleanup
Puff backs happen when oil builds up in a furnace or boiler ignition chamber and finally ignites, sending oily soot through your heating system and out every vent. Albany's older homes with oil-fired heating systems are especially susceptible. The residue covers floors, walls, furniture, blinds, clothing, and carpets. We use specialized cleaning techniques to remove the soot, stains, and odors.
We Work With Your Insurance
We have staff who used to work for insurance companies, so we know how the claims process works from the inside. We handle your paperwork, coordinate with your adjuster, and bill your insurance directly so you can focus on getting back to normal.
How Fire Damage Restoration Works
From emergency response to handing back the keys, we manage every phase of your fire damage recovery.
Emergency Board-Up and Securing
We secure your property immediately, boarding windows, tarping roofs, and stabilizing structures to prevent further damage, weather exposure, and unauthorized entry.
Documentation and Insurance
Every inch of fire, smoke, soot, and water damage is thoroughly documented with photos, scope reports, and Xactimate estimates. We meet with you and your adjuster to agree on the restoration plan.
Water Removal and Drying
We extract all firefighting water, set up commercial drying equipment, and monitor moisture levels to prevent mold growth.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
All surfaces are professionally cleaned. We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to permanently eliminate smoke odors. If needed, we pack out contents to our facility for off-site cleaning and safe storage.
Reconstruction
Our crews handle the full rebuild: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and any other repairs needed to restore your property to pre-loss condition. One contractor from start to finish.
