First

Secure the building before anything is cleaned

Board-ups over broken windows and doors, emergency tarping where the roof or an upper floor is open, and the property secured against weather and against anyone walking in. Most policies require this and most of them cover it, and on a rural property where the building may sit unattended it matters more than usual.

Then the water. Firefighting puts thousands of gallons into a structure in a short time and it is still there after the trucks leave. Extraction and drying start ahead of soot cleaning, because microbial growth begins on the same timescale regardless of what caused the water.

The part with a deadline

Soot is acidic, and it is etching while the claim is being scoped

Left in place, soot corrodes metal, discolours grout and stone, and yellows plastics permanently. Contents and finishes that were cleanable in the first week are frequently unsalvageable a month later, which is how a claim grows and a rebuild stretches.

So we start cleaning while the claim is still being scoped rather than waiting for a settlement, and we bill your carrier directly so you are not funding the work in the meantime.

Working with Cam, Lauren, and All Dry has been a pleasure. They were responsive, hard working and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!
