Services
Fire Damage
Our certified technicians provide comprehensive fire damage restoration, including smoke and soot removal, structural cleaning, and content restoration. We document damage thoroughly for insurance claims and implement patented drying techniques to prevent secondary damage. With 24/7 emergency response, we prioritize safety by securing structures before initiating repairs, ensuring properties meet fire safety codes while preserving original aesthetics.
Water Damage
Specializing in rapid water mitigation, we deploy industrial pumps and thermal drying equipment within hours of emergency calls. Our IICRC-certified team identifies hidden moisture using moisture mapping technology, preventing mold growth and structural weakening. We handle all water sources including burst pipes, flooding, and appliance failures, with complete documentation for insurance claims while maintaining structural integrity during the drying process.
Mold Remediation
We conduct EPA-registered mold remediation using containment barriers and HEPA filtration systems. Our process includes moisture source elimination, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation air quality testing. Certified technicians follow OSHA safety protocols for mold spore containment, with specialized expertise in commercial HVAC system decontamination and residential crawl space remediation to prevent future growth.
Asbestos Abatement
Our licensed professionals perform asbestos testing and removal following EPA and OSHA regulations. We use negative pressure containment units and disposable protective gear during abatement, with third-party lab analysis confirming material safety. Services include full building inspections, encapsulation options, and proper waste disposal, ensuring compliance with Georgia's asbestos licensing requirements for residential and commercial properties.
Storm Damage
We offer 24/7 emergency response for hurricane, tornado, and severe weather damage. Our services include temporary roof tarping, tree removal, structural drying, and code-compliant rebuilding. Certified inspectors document damage for insurance claims while our reconstruction team handles everything from minor repairs to complete rebuilds, using impact-resistant materials to enhance future storm resilience.
