Emergency Response
Fire Damage
It’s hard to imagine anything more traumatizing than a fire. It's a threat to your family’s sense of security, it can swiftly bring an enterprise’s operations to a sudden halt, affecting the business and its customers. An uncontrollable wildfire can wreak chaos in communities.
According to the latest numbers from the National Fire Protection Association, a structure fire is reported every 65 seconds. When the alarm sounds, emergency responders and fire departments take action. When the smoke clears, MasterCat's fire restoration team stands ready to help.
The first 24 to 48 hours after fire damage are known as the “golden hours” of recovery. An effective emergency response that quickly stabilizes the facility ensures the recovery of as much property as possible. The acidic soot and smoke damage that is often produced when fires are extinguished accelerate the deterioration and corrosion of building components and vital assets. To compound the problem, fires are most frequently extinguished with dry chemicals or water. Plus, the toxic smoke odor left behind must be neutralized and deodorized.
Our certified professionals determine the full extent of fire damage, including the impact of smoke, heat, and residues from fire and smoke. We keep home and business owners informed, helping to overcome their loss and restoring hope by explaining what can be saved and how, and in a way they can understand what is happening, what to expect, and what they can do.
Smoke & Soot Cleanup And Removal
Lingering smoke and soot can cause much more damage than you’d expect. Smoke embeds into the fibers of your home and deep within the porous surfaces of the structure. If smoke is left for too long, it can be next to impossible to remove. Smoke and soot both extend throughout your property, collecting in and damaging spaces never touched by the flames. Our expert fire damage restoration technicians are trained to know exactly where smoke and soot collect and how to remove it the right way so that they do not cause permanent damage.
The longer smoke and soot are allowed to sit, the more extensive the damage becomes and the harder it is to repair. Even if your property suffered a small fire that seems insignificant, smoke and soot are still elements that you do need to worry about.
