When a fire broke out on the second floor of a home, most of the fire damage was concentrated to the bedroom. The bathroom shown and other parts of the house had extensive soot buildup and smoke damage. Some think that cleaning up soot and smoke build up is simple and things just need to be wiped down. This bathroom is a great example of when the damage is too much. Our team had to redo it entirely and the customer loved their new bathroom. You could not even tell a fire happened there.

This was the aftermath of a fire at a restaurant that caused significant damage to the break room. Any fire is dangerous, but especially restaurants since they have flammable gasses or materials used for cooking. However, no fire clean up is too big or extensive for us to handle.  

This is a moisture meter.  It detects the amount of moisture in you walls, ceilings and floors.  The floor got wet because of a pipe break.  We used this moisture meter to see how wet the floor was.  As you can see by the picture, the floor was 99.9%.  This floor is going to need immediate drying in order to save it from buckling.
