Even a small fire can make a big mess, leaving a strong smoke smell, soot, smoke damage, water and other debris. It is important to identify and eliminate smoke and fire residues using correct techniques to save costly replacements and repairs in the long run.
We are licensed and insured to take care of any of your insurance work. It is a stressful time when your property has sustained fire and smoke damage so having trained technicians with the correct equipment to deal to the damage and work with insurance companies on your behalf, can make all the difference in returning a sense or normality and order to your home or commercial property.
Our technicians conduct a thorough assessment of the affected area to determine the extent of fire and smoke damage. This helps us create a detailed plan to restore your property to its pre-fire condition. If a make-safe is required, our teams organise plumbers, gas fitters, electricians or builders before getting stuck into the cleanup. We'll take detailed photos and organise contents to help you with important insurance documentation.
Soot particles that infiltrate every corner of a property are safely removed with our specialised cleaning products whilst our commercial grade air purification equipment changes the composition of oxygen atoms in the air, allowing the molecules to attach to airborne organic contaminants to oxidise and eliminate them, removing those stubborn smoke odours for good. Contents are also restored where possible, receiving diligent attention to restore them back to pre-loss condition where possible.
Navigating the aftermath of a fire can be overwhelming. Our team not only restores your property but provides you with guidance throughout the process, ensuring you are informed throughout.
