Why Washington Township homeowners pick us for fire damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Call us even when the fire stayed in a detached garage or a pole barn, since smoke and hose water still need attention there. Someone answers 24/7, our emergency service takes residential and commercial calls, and a crew usually arrives in about an hour.
A free inspection of the fire damage
We charge nothing for the inspection, and we're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control. We also note older wear, like an old roof leak stain or worn flooring, separately from the fire damage, so the two aren't mixed up later.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with any insurance company and stay in touch with your adjuster directly. Your insurer will likely want the fire incident report, and Washington Township's fire department asks for at least 24 hours' notice to provide a copy, so request it early.
We help you get the most from your claim
Claims are often written up at standard grade unless someone shows otherwise. If your house has solid wood doors, custom cabinets or plaster walls, we add them to our documentation with photos so the claim reflects what you actually had, though the insurer decides the final amount.
Financing if you need it
While the walls are open, you might add things the house never had, like fire-rated drywall between the garage and the living space. Financing can cover that extra work, as well as your deductible or anything else the policy doesn't pay.

Response came out to our house when we had water issues with our attic and potential mold growth. They dispatched a project manager to came out same day and provided advice regarding insurance, let us know what to expect for the work, and sent a crew out the next day. Everything moved quickly and smoothly...

Washington Township fire damage repair, step by step
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
After everyone is out and accounted for, call us, and we cover each broken window and forced door with a temporary board-up. If the house has a septic field, show the crew where it is, so trucks stay off it.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Smoke rises and collects at the top of vaulted and cathedral ceilings, and in tall stairwells, where soot is hard to see from the floor. Our technician checks those high points closely and photographs them along with every other room.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
We haul away only building materials as debris, such as burned drywall, insulation, cabinets and flooring, and leave your belongings where they are for your adjuster. Soaked areas get drying equipment right away, before mold can get a start in the framing.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
We follow the smell to its source rather than masking it, room by room, until we find what's still holding it. Soot removal and cleaning come first, then deodorizing, and anything that still smells after that usually comes out and is replaced.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
The reconstruction stays with our own crew, start to finish. Any change you ask for, like a different floor, is agreed in writing before we do it. Our invoice and records then go to you and your insurer, with a request for direct payment.

Wonderful experience during such a stressful time. They came out immediately, the employees were extremely polite and respectful, and kept me updated every step of the way. They also helped guide me through the insurance claims process which seemed overwhelming at first. I would definitely recommend.

Fire cleanup questions from Washington Township
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How did smoke reach the rooms upstairs in my Washington Township house when the fire stayed downstairs?
Smoke rises fast, and a stairway acts like a chimney, carrying it to the upper floor within minutes. It also escapes through recessed lights, attic hatches and the gaps beside plumbing stacks, leaving residue you may not notice until you smell it. Our technician checks the whole house so the smoke damage in those rooms is part of the restoration process.
Will you dry out the water from the firefighters' hoses in my Washington Township home too?
Yes. That water damage reaches carpet, drywall and anything below the fire, and finished basements often take the worst of it. Water extraction and drying are part of the fire job we do, because wet materials left alone can lead to mold. It's typically paid under the same fire claim, but your adjuster confirms coverage.
Do you clean our furniture, clothes and photos after a Washington Township house fire?
No. Our job is the building: walls, ceilings, floors, framing, cabinets and other fixed parts. Belongings go to a separate contents company, and policies usually cover them as their own part of the claim. Ask your adjuster about that part early, and photograph and list items before you throw anything away, since the insurer may want proof.
Who says when we can go back into our Washington Township home, and what should we take?
That isn't our call. The fire department or a building official decides, and they may keep the house closed if the gas, wiring or structure is unsafe. On a short visit, take medicine, glasses, your phone and wallet, and papers such as IDs and your policy. Don't turn on power or gas, and toss any food heat or smoke reached.
Does your inspection of my Washington Township home file a claim or commit me to hiring you?
No. We don't file anything, and the inspection costs nothing. Only you, as the policyholder, decide whether to open an insurance claim, and you're free to choose any contractor. Start board-up and water removal without waiting for the adjuster, since most policies expect you to keep the damage from getting worse.
