North & Central New Jersey’s Top Fire Damage Restoration Company

Call as soon as the fire department has cleared the property and it is safe to enter. Smoke and soot begin settling and reacting with surfaces right away, and the longer they sit, the harder they are to remove.

Early cleaning and odor control reduce permanent staining and corrosion, and often help save more of your belongings.

Wait until the fire department confirms the property is safe to enter, and avoid touching soot-covered surfaces, since handling them can push residue deeper into materials.

Take photos and video for your insurance claim, avoid running HVAC systems that can spread soot, and contact a fire damage restoration company for an inspection.
