Mitigating Your Fire Loss

Experiencing a fire, whether at your facility or business, is one of the most traumatic events an owner can go through. Losing your business, and many or all of your possessions so quickly is devastating. The devastation doesn’t stop when the flames are put out – property owners are left looking for temporary or permanent shelter, and businesses may have to close for extended periods.

When you act quickly and call fire restoration specialists, some of these losses may be mitigated. Claremont’s 24/7 hotline will allow you to get started on fire restoration as soon as possible.

Fire Damage Recovery

The 24 to 48-hour window following a fire is crucial for restoration. If left untreated acidic soot, smoke damage, and water damage will further destroy your property and its contents. Claremont’s restoration specialists will act quickly to remove soot and any dry chemicals used to extinguish the fire, address water damage, and remove smoke damage to restore your property.

Many factors go into determining the best course of action, including:
Replacement Cost vs. Restoration Cost
Effect of Smoke and Heat
Loss of Use
Loss of Value
Decreased Life Expectancy

Claremont’s fire restoration services may include emergency board-up, demolition, soot removal, deodorization to mitigate smoke odors, and complete reconstruction.

You can count on Claremont’s professional restoration team to minimize your losses.
