FIRE Damage BOARD UP, Restoration & REBUILDs
After a residential or commercial fire, assessing the situation & securing the property is the very first step in the recovery process. American Restoration Solutions provides emergency board-up & restoration services 24/7. The firefighting process often involves breaking down doors and one or more windows to gain access & extinguish the blaze. Code requires the structure to be boarded-up to prevent looting, squatting, & other unauthorized access to your property. American Restoration Solutions will arrive on-site & immediately begin boarding up as soon as given permission by the Fire Marshal on the scene. Our services won’t cost you anything upfront - we’ll bill your insurance carrier directly so you can focus on more important things. After the board up process is complete or if no entry points were damaged, we shift to the mitigation phase.

Restoration, in the simplest terms, is catch-all phrase to describe all the processes & procedures for returning your home to a pre-loss condition. Professional restoration companies follow guidelines established by the IICRC, an independent association that publishes research and best practices to providers and adjusters alike. American Restoration Solutions employs IICRC-certified project managers & technicians to guarantee the quality of your restoration project. We provide all facets of restoration under one roof, from water extraction & dry cleaning to dry outs & rebuilds. One Call, Complete Recovery.

Every loss is different. Small smoke exposures that can easily be mopped up might not be a reason to call, but even a small sewage backup needs professional cleaning & disinfection. Some surfaces can be cleaned & disinfected, while others should be removed because they trap bacteria and can never be thoroughly sanitized. Our IICRC-certified PMs will advise what steps are needed to properly restore your property.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “Water is life” and nothing could be more true. While it keeps us alive, water also fuels microbial growth (aka mold), mildew, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants. Water can also cause structural rot and pose electrocution hazards. Trust American Restoration Solutions to clean up quickly, completely, and correctly.

No! Depending on the size of the loss, it may not make sense to file an insurance claim. Factors like claims history, deductible, coverage & your ability to pay all factor into whether it makes sense to file a claim. We provide competitive pricing and low or no-cost assessments for losses without a claim or denied clams.

Regardless of insurance coverage, American Restoration Solutions is here to help. Not all instances of water damage are covered but the damage still needs to be cleaned up. In order for insurance to cover the damage, the cause of loss usually needs to be considered “sudden & accidental”. Your insurance may or may not cover the repairs for the cause of loss, but they will cover the subsequent damage. Flood damage is typically covered by separate insurance or FEMA. If you have questions about your policy & coverage, we suggest speaking with us, your broker, or a pubic adjuster.

Typically drying begins as soon as any standing water has been extracted, contents have been moved to an unaffected area or into storage & all demolition debris has been removed. The industry standard drying time is 3-5 days. We monitor equipment & take moisture measurements throughout the process until the area is dry & ready for repairs. If hazardous materials such as mold or asbestos appear to be present or local jurisdictions require approvals first, it may add to the amount of time before work can start. Our goal is always to get your life back together as quickly as possible.
