Fire is destructive enough itself, but often there is secondary damage from smoke and firefighter efforts. We’re equipped to identify and repair all aftereffects of fire.
Structural
If flooding or fire have caused serious structural issues to your home, our experts can help bring it fully back to code, ensuring it’s safe for you and your family to move back in.
How to Detect Water Damage in the Home
Roof leaks, burst pipes, plumbing leaks, clogged drains, and AC overflows–you may have one of these problems if you see the signs below.
Walls – Water damage is readily visible on walls and ceilings. You might see peeling or bubbling paint, or a swollen appearance and softness. Window and door frames can be affected by water damage, so check them regularly and make sure they’re properly sealed.
Floors – Water can soak into floors and cause damage, and material doesn’t matter if the subfloor is wooden and the water reaches it. Look out for warping or buckling of your floor surface. Damp carpets and rugs or a damp smell around the house may be an indication that water has gotten underneath.
Outside Your Home – Check the roof for cracked or missing shingles. A puddle close to your outer walls may be the result of a broken pipe underground.

Common Causes of Water Damage
Being aware of these may help you avoid a full-blown disaster.
Broken or Leaking Water Pipes
Broken or leaking water pipes are the most common cause of water damage–and of major damage. Water pipes can break from expanding ice, tree root punctures, or if the material has deteriorated. A burst water pipe outside can create puddles around your home’s foundation, and lead to structural damage.
Unprofessional Plumbing
Home plumbing projects finished poorly can get worse over time. Most leaks in the home result from faulty pipe connections. Common places are under kitchen and bathroom sinks, which can soak cabinets, floors, and possibly drywall.
Roof Damage
Improper roof grading and drainage can leave areas for water to collect and weigh on your roof, which can become a problem over time. Broken or old shingles can also allow water to trickle in, which can trickle all the way through your attic to the ceiling or behind walls. Rotted plywood is one of the ways that water can sneak into your home.
Damaged Sprinkler System
Some modern homes have built-in fire sprinklers, which can have faulty connections.
Nature
Storms bring high winds and heavy rain, which can weaken your home’s structure or reveal existing vulnerable points. If you have old siding or singles, gutter spouts that don’t drain far enough away, or a faulty sump pump, a natural disaster can cause serious damage.

Boarding-Up
Fires can damage homes to the point where anyone can get in. For safety and security, closing off your property is recommended. If it collapses and they’re injured, you could be at fault. We’re available 24/7 for board-up services.
Odor Removal
Toxic fumes are more than unpleasant, they can be seriously harmful, creating or exacerbating respiratory issues. Removing VOCs is a priority for any fire-damaged building, and we have the tools and experience to eradicate them.
Boarding-Up
Soot can’t simply be painted over. Removing this stubborn substance requires a special process and experienced hands. Our micro-cleaning process gets rid of soot, debris, and greasy residue left on all your home’s surfaces.
