I worked as a middle school teacher for 10 years which helps me stay calm during stressful situations, like water damage. I make sure to take the time to communicate the process with the homeowner and help communicate with the insurance companies to make the project goes as smoothly as possible. We pride ourselves on building a great reputation and helping customers during a time of crisis with water damage issues.

"If they can not get there wildly.Inflated estimates past your insurance company, they will leave you high and dry. I have had holes in my walls and ceiling for over four months while they pretended they were negotiating with our insurance company. There was no negotiating. Our insurance company closed the claim and they did not care for the amount the insurance company was willing to pay for the work, so they just have not done anything."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on stone type, surface condition, labor, and whether sealing or deep cleaning is required.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

While it’s not the most glamorous task, cleaning your chimney is vitally important to the safety of your home. Neglecting chimney cleaning can cause a blockage and buildup of toxic gasses in your flue, which could lead to a dangerous chimney fire. That’s why it’s important to maintain your chimney and schedule annual cleanings from a professional.

The first step is removing water or chemical residue, if applicable, after extinguishing. Next, your professional will clean up soot, remove damaged materials, treat the smoke damage, and complete any necessary structural repairs. After that, your pro will begin the build-back process and install finishes to restore your home to its previous condition.

If untreated, smoke damage is definitely toxic. Carbon and tar are two types of toxic chemicals in smoke that can damage your lungs and other parts of your body if you breathe them in for long periods of time. If you still smell smoke after the fire, it’s important that you call your restoration team for support.
