Fire Board up services Cortez CO
Before cleaning and restoration can occur, the fire-damaged property should be boarded up. Because of fire the building structure is weakened, windows are broken, and the property is now attractive to vandals. The Flood Doctor alleviates this situation as our dedicated workers board up the property and put in temporary fencing, which provides enough stability to recover needed personal items.
Property Inspection
It is not always easy to see structural damage. At The Flood Doctor we have the advantage of state-of-the-art equipment including bore scopes, infrared cameras and moisture meters to give us a clearer picture of what needs to be repaired. If you have been given the assurance of the Fire Marshal that the property is now safe, take care not to cause respiratory problems. Wear a mask! Be sure the electrical source has been inspected and declared safe before attempting to use it. If at all possible, an outside power source is advisable.
Any items that have been damaged by fire, smoke, soot and water but can be restored and salvaged will be separated from the remaining debris and contamination. Those salvageable articles will be packed and removed to our facility where they will receive the close attention of our technicians, using the tools and equipment recommended most in the industry. Ozone machines, thermal foggers, dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, negative air machines and generators enable us to restore air quality and return your property to its previous condition.
