Fire and Water Damage Restoration

Water damage may become permanent when materials remain saturated, finish damage cannot be cleaned or dried, odors persist, or structural components show deterioration. Visible staining alone does not establish the full extent of damage. DRYFAST uses digital moisture meters and infrared cameras to locate affected areas, then evaluates extraction, drying, cleaning, and repair needs using IICRC-aligned procedures.

Disaster restoration is the process of responding to property damage, limiting additional loss, cleaning affected areas, recovering salvageable belongings, and repairing the property. It can include water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, emergency board-up, mold services, contents recovery, construction, and insurance documentation. The specific work is based on the type and extent of damage.
