Emergency Fire Damage Cleaning
Having our team ready to get to work on your fire damage restoration will mean you can turn your attention to what matters most, reducing stress and worry.
A fire leaves behind ash, smoke, and structural damage that requires a swift and professional approach to prevent contaminants from worsening the damage beyond the surface level.
Fire damage restoration services must focus on clearing away hazards, decontaminating the site, and removing all evidence that a fire ever happened. Without these steps, the building can remain hazardous to human health and continue to deteriorate due to the acidic nature of soot and ash.
Fires often break out at a moment’s notice and can cause widespread devastation in minutes. Add in the danger to human health and the spreading flames, and the aftermath of a fire is almost too exhausting to address.
Flare Restoration’s specialists are trained in emergency fire damage cleaning. They can be on-site in a matter of hours and are easily contacted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can trust our specialists to handle any situation with professionalism and care.
