Why Choose ASDT for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Damage Control After a Fire

We evaluate the building and environment to understand the true extent of damage to your home or business. Emergency stabilization and a thorough inspection should occur within the first 24 hours to help limit further damage.

Temporary Structure Protection

After inspecting for soot and smoke damage, we reinforce and quarantine necessary areas for optimal resident, staff, and customer safety.

Reopen Safe Areas for Business

We are careful to reopen safe areas in a commercial property so operations can return to normal while restoration and repair continue.

Contents Removal & Cleaning

We’ll remove and dispose of all destroyed items and begin cleaning anything that can be saved in our Content Care Center using our Fire Line Cleaning System with ultrasonic capabilities as part of our contents restoration process, to return salvageable belongings as close as possible to pre-fire condition.

Where needed, we also use specialized odor elimination for saved contents.

Deconstruction of All Damaged Materials

With items removed, all non-salvageable materials such as walls, cabinets, or ceilings are removed and prepared for reconstruction and complete restoration with new materials where needed.

Structural Cleaning

Following a comprehensive restoration plan, we employ the most appropriate equipment and cleaning products to cleanse and protect each surface type.

After firefighting efforts, structural drying with air movers is often part of water damage restoration, and water damage remediation typically takes 3 to 5 days depending on conditions.

Deodorization

Our teams remove harmful chemicals and particles from walls, ceilings, and materials so that no evidence of fire remains, and handle smoke restoration with targeted odor elimination to neutralize smoke odors trapped in materials, even in the most hidden sources.

When needed, we use thermal foggers and ozone machines as part of this process.

Settle the Property Loss Claim on Your Behalf

ASDT will file a claim on your insurance policy, on your behalf, for payment of services. We know how to work with insurance adjusters to get precisely what you deserve. In most cases, your insurance company or insurance carrier covers restoration costs minus your deductible, but the approved amount can still fall well short of actual costs, especially when local companies uncover damage a preferred vendor may have missed. Before choosing any fire restoration contractor, get three independent quotes to ensure fair pricing, compare them carefully, and avoid any restoration company that pressures you to sign immediately.
