Our certified technicians respond immediately to water emergencies, using industrial-grade extraction equipment and thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture. We implement complete drying protocols with HEPA-filtered air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent secondary damage. The process includes structural drying, content restoration, and mold prevention treatments for residential and commercial properties.
Fire Damage Recovery
We provide comprehensive fire restoration including soot removal, odor elimination, and structural repairs. Our team secures properties with board-up services, conducts content inventory, and utilizes ozone treatments for smoke odor neutralization. We coordinate with industrial hygienists for air quality testing and handle complete rebuilds to pre-fire conditions.
Mold Remediation
Our IICRC-certified specialists perform mold inspections using moisture meters and thermal cameras. We contain affected areas with negative air pressure, remove contaminated materials, and apply antimicrobial treatments. The process includes air quality testing by third-party industrial hygienists and HEPA vacuuming for complete spore elimination.

We handle biohazard remediation following OSHA standards, including bloodborne pathogen cleanup and crime scene decontamination. Our technicians use EPA-registered disinfectants and personal protective equipment to safely remove biological contaminants. The process includes odor neutralization and SteraMist BIT antimicrobial treatments for complete pathogen elimination.
