What makes us the call for fire repair in Westland
We're on site in about an hour
While you wait, charge your phone in the car, because the next few days bring a lot of calls. Somebody real answers our line at any hour, our emergency service reaches commercial buildings as well as homes, and the drive to you usually takes about an hour.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. Couches, mattresses and clothes hold a lot of smoke odor, so once your belongings go out, ask for a second look to judge how much smell is in the structure itself. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work directly with your insurance company, whatever company it is, and send the adjuster our documentation. If you're asked about damage before the house has been fully inspected, it's fine to say you don't know yet, rather than guess and correct it later.
We help you get the most from your claim
Don't throw away the appliance, cord or heater where the fire started until the fire investigator and your adjuster say you may, since it can matter to the claim. We document the structure and make the case for every covered item, while the final figure rests with the insurer.
Financing if you need it
When a fire spreads from a neighbor's house, your own policy usually pays first, and your insurer may try to recover the cost from theirs later. Financing can cover your deductible while that plays out, along with anything the claim 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...

What to expect from our fire cleanup in Westland, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Ring our 24/7 line when everyone is clear of the house, and after firefighters release it, the crew puts board-ups over every smashed pane and damaged door. Keep our board-up invoice and photos, since your insurer may ask when and how the house was secured.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Heat and hose water can make drywall nails and screws pop and ceiling seams crack in rooms beside the burn. Our technician marks those spots along with the smoke damage on each wall and ceiling, and photographs every room for the assessment.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Hose water can drain into floor registers and pool inside the ductwork, where it rusts metal and feeds mold, so mention any register that took water to whoever services your furnace. We extract the rest, haul charred drywall out as debris and run drying equipment until the wood is dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Foam and rubber weatherstripping on doors and windows absorbs smoke odor, and swapping it out is usually simpler than trying to wash it. Frames, walls and ceilings get soot removal and cleaning, and then each room is deodorized after the residue carrying the odor comes off.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our crew takes on the reconstruction, and our bill goes to you and your insurer with a request that it pay us. Before you confirm the work is complete, test every replaced switch, outlet, faucet, door and window, so you can point out anything that needs attention.

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.

What Westland homeowners ask about fire damage
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
My Westland fire was in one room, so why is the smoke smell everywhere?
In a split-level or bi-level house, short flights of stairs join every level with no doors between them, so smoke from one level reaches the others within minutes. Heat also pushes it under closed doors. Whatever residue it left behind carries the smell, which is why our restoration process reaches every room the smoke passed through.
Is drying out the hose water in my Westland home part of the fire job?
Yes. Hose water works into drywall, insulation and subfloors and runs down to the lowest level, where water damage sets in and mold may start in a few days. We use water extraction and drying while the soot work goes on, and we take moisture readings each day until the structure is dry. It's usually paid under the fire claim, and your adjuster will confirm how it's handled.
Can you restore our furniture and other belongings after a Westland house fire?
No. Our work stays with the structure itself: framing, drywall, ceilings, floors and fixed cabinetry. For furniture, clothing and electronics, you'll want a contents company, which works apart from us, and policies often cover them under their own section of the insurance claim. Before anything goes out, a slow video of each room, opening closets and drawers as you go, is a quick way to record what was there for your adjuster.
When can I go back into my Westland house, and what should I grab?
Fire officials or the city's building inspector say when, not our crew, and entry can be barred until the structure, wiring and gas check out. Given a short window inside, collect medication, glasses, your phone, your wallet and the papers you'll need this week, plus pet food if you have pets. Keep your hands off the breakers and gas, and toss anything edible that smoke or heat got near.
If you inspect my Westland home, does that open a claim or commit me to you?
No. The free inspection files nothing with your insurer, and you aren't agreeing to hire us, so you can have it done before you decide whether to file. Whether to file is your call as the policyholder, and the choice of contractor stays with you, whoever the insurer recommends. Go ahead with the board-up and water removal before the adjuster comes, since policies expect owners to head off further damage.
