Repair and Reconstruction

United Drying will save and restore as much of the structure and contents as are restorable. However, some portion of the structure and contents may be lost. United Drying will act as contractor to coordinate everything from demolition to drywall to painting and trim work. Throughout this process United Drying will work with your insurance adjuster to ensure that your structure is returned as close to its pre-loss condition as is possible.

Smoke Odor and Soot Removal

After the smoke clears there will be a layer of soot covering everything, this requires careful and meticulous cleaning. United Drying’s technicians will use the chemical sponges and liquid solvents to remove any and all sooty residues from the structure and its contents. Then, there is the odor problem to contend with. As with any fire, the odor that remains afterwards can be especially unpleasant. United Drying uses Ozone Machines and Thermal Foggers to eliminate any odors in the structure and on the contents.

Water Damage, Corrosion and Mold prevention

When a fire has taken place, in an office building or a home, water has been used to suppress it and put out the fire. In the office it is common for fire suppression equipment to be in place in order to mitigate the loss from the actual fire, so normally that means a sprinkler system in the ceiling has drenched the contents and the structure. Urgent, Urgent, Emergency
The clock starts ticking the second the fire is out, excess water must be removed and the drying process begun immediately to mitigate water damage. Corrosion and mold become the next problem to immediately address. Corrosion can occur when soot from smoke reacts with residual moisture from the water used to fight the fire. Left untreated the resulting acids will continue to damage the structure. Mold damage is increasingly being focused on as a serious health hazard. Recovery efforts must start right away to mitigate water damage, prevent mold growth and facilitate a quick and thorough fire damage cleanup.
