"I hired Biotek to remove mold in my attic. They were absolutely wonderful. First Tyler checked my entire house , including the basement and the attic for mold. I had mold in the attic. His team came and cleaned my attic so beautifully, which is where the mold was, and I was extremely satisfied with their work. My house no longer smells like mold and I am very pleased about that.

"I hired Mr Burger as a general contractor to put my house back together after I incurred smoke damage to the entire house. Wish I had hired him from the start. The mitigation process took over 4 weeks to get the house ready to be rebuilt. Should have been ready in 1.Mr Burger got started on it right away and has been working consistently to get me back into my home. He has kept me informed through the process every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any work done at their home. It's been a great experience during a very stressful time."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

As with any smoking appliance, a smoking oven is a concerning fire risk. It also negatively impacts your indoor air quality, which can put vulnerable people at risk of breathing problems. A dirty oven can catch fire if you don’t stay on top of regular maintenance, so remember to check your oven for signs that it’s time for a cleaning and remove buildup every three months to stay on the safe side.

Homeowner’s insurance will usually cover fire damage restoration unless you or someone in your home started the fire purposefully or if negligence was the underlying cause. In all other cases, including electrical fires, accidental cooking fires, and gas fires, you’ll need to pay a deductible, but the rest of the costs should be covered. Once you have the fire out and the damage has stopped spreading, contact your insurance company to file a claim and get fast approval for remediation.

Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.

Restoration involves assessing damage, cleaning, deodorizing, repairing structures, and replacing damaged items, following a detailed and systematic approach.
