Reasons White Lake homeowners choose us for fire repair
We're on site in about an hour
Our emergency service answers at any hour for homes and commercial buildings. We usually arrive in about an hour. That speed counts in cold weather: with the furnace off after a fire, pipes in an empty house can freeze and add a water loss to the fire.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free, and our firm is an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control. If you took photos or video that night, send them along for our documentation, since they show where smoke and water were before anything was moved.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with your insurer, whoever it is, and with your adjuster directly. Ask the adjuster how they prefer to be reached and how soon they usually reply, so you know when it's reasonable to follow up on a question.
We help you get the most from your claim
Ask the adjuster for copies of their photos and estimate, so you can see exactly what they recorded and what they may have missed. We document the structure and push for what your insurance claim allows, though what the insurer pays is never ours to promise.
Financing if you need it
Some fires may not be covered, such as one in a house left vacant longer than the policy allows. Financing is available for the whole job in that case, or just for the deductible and the parts a claim won'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...

Our White Lake fire and smoke cleanup, step by step
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Once everyone is safe, call our 24/7 line and mention whether the power company shut off service. Without power, a sump pump can't move the firefighters' water out of the basement. Our crew then covers broken glass and doorways with board-ups so the house stays closed.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Soot left on window glass, chrome faucets and appliance fronts can etch or pit them if it sits. Our technician notes which of these surfaces can still be cleaned and which already need replacing, and photographs each one for your file.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Water extraction comes first, then drying equipment goes in, and we come back each day to take moisture readings until the structure is dry, which helps keep mold from starting. Burned materials leave as debris, so point out any built-in piece you'd like saved before demolition starts.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Open windows let in fresh air but won't clear smoke smell, because the residue on surfaces keeps releasing it. Soot removal and cleaning cover walls, ceilings and trim, then we treat odor where it remains. Swap your furnace filter before running the heat, or it can blow soot back out.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our own crew handles reconstruction too, which keeps one company on the job to the end. In White Lake, the township's residential permit covers repairs and renovations, so expect a building permit and inspections along the way. Our invoice goes to both you and the insurance company.

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.

White Lake fire restoration questions
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why is there soot in White Lake rooms the fire never touched?
Smoke travels on moving air and drops its soot where surfaces are cooler, such as exterior walls and window sills. That's why you may see faint dark lines tracing the studs on an outside wall in a room the fire never reached. Odor and smoke damage travel the same way, so every room gets checked in the restoration process.
Is the fire department's water damage in our White Lake home part of the fire job?
Yes. The water used to fight the fire can sit in carpet pads, the bottoms of walls and the basement, and mold may follow within days. Water extraction and drying are folded into the same project. It's normally part of the same claim, and your adjuster has the final word.
Will your crew clean the things inside our White Lake house after a fire?
No, and it helps to know that up front. We restore the building itself, not the things inside it. Furniture, clothes and electronics are handled by a contents specialist, often under a different part of your policy. Take pictures and make a list before you throw anything away, and ask your adjuster early.
When can we go back inside our White Lake home, and what should we take?
Fire officials or a building inspector decide that, never us, and the house stays closed if they see a risk in the framing, wiring or gas line. On a brief, approved visit, collect prescription bottles, eyeglasses, purses, phones and a folder of key papers. Leave the power and gas alone, and throw out food touched by heat or smoke.
Does your free inspection in White Lake open a claim or commit us to anything?
No. Nothing gets filed with your insurer, because claims are opened only by the policyholder. You can hire any company you like, whatever names the insurer offers. And don't hold off on the board-up or water removal until the adjuster visits, because the policy makes preventing more damage your job.
