Our ultrasonic cleaner can get smoke and soot off of hard surfaced items.

When a fire happens in a home or business, it destroys everything in it's path. It doesn't take long for the flames to run through the belongings in a household. It is a frantic experience for all of those involved. The place is left behind with fire damage from the flames, water damage from the fire hose and soot damage from the smoke. The initial fire may be out but the damage left behind is immense. The walls and furniture reek of smoke and need to be professionally cleaned. This is a photo of our ultrasonic cleaner that cleans the hard surfaced items. When solid items such as plates, silverware, decor, etc. have soot damage from the smoke we neatly pack them up and place them into the ultrasonic cleaner for a deep cleaning. After we dry them we pack them up neatly again to bring back to the home or business.

Our Esporta machine can get your clothes smoke and odor free.

The aftermath of a fire can be overwhelming. Walls and ceilings are burned through. Soot lays upon all the furniture and decor left behind and clothing holds a strong smoke until properly washed. You cannot throw clothing into a regular washer because it will not remove the strong smoke odor. It needs to be professionally washed and our facility has an Esporta machine. We can wash any soft items in our  machine to remove all soot and smoke. Our team understands the attachment that people have to their personal belongings and the fact that we are able to help restore over replace items makes a huge difference in the process. Being able to keep an important original item to our customers makes the process a little easier on them. We are able to save the things they care about most and that brings joy to us all. This photo shows a picture of what our Esporta machine looks like.

Fire Damage In The Home

Your roofing seems fine until a heavy storm hits and you find leaks all over your home. The day is gloomy, you want to stay inside and watch the rain fall from the window not from inside your living room ceiling. An option that a homeowner may have is to seal their roof. Sealing a roof includes options:

• two layers of felt
• synthetic roof membranes
• a polyurethane foam spray (for existing roofs)

When you seal your roof, it gives an extra protection against rain storms.

It is said that the roofing industry has suggested the felt paper as a way to help drain water away once it is behind the roof cover. The roof covering that you chose should be sealed with a membrane that is strong enough to be watertight, will stay in place if the primary roof blows off.

After a fire sprinkler was unintentionally discharged on the third story, management decided to call our team to assist in the dry out. With lots a strategic planning and many long hours we successfully dried their structure and get them back to business in no time.

"Like it never even happened."

A typical fire sprinkler head for a commercial system will discharge 20-40 gallons of water each minute. This can be very disruptive to your business and can cost a lot of time and money to clean/ repair. There are 3 practical steps to prevent and prepare for a fire sprinkler system discharge.

All business owners should be sure each and every employee receives the proper education needed to reduce the risk of accidents.
