A house fire is one of the most stressful events a homeowner can face. At Countryside Emergency Service, we specialize in turning chaos into a plan of action. We don’t just clean up; we manage the entire recovery process so you can focus on your family.
We Secure Your Property
The moment we arrive, our priority is protecting what remains of your home.
- Emergency Board-Up: We immediately seal broken windows and compromised doors to prevent unauthorized access and protect your home from the elements.
- Structural Stabilization: Our team assesses the integrity of the building and provides roof tarping and temporary bracing where needed.
We Handle the Insurance Logistics
Navigating an insurance claim can be overwhelming. We act as your professional partner throughout the process.
- Detailed Documentation: We provide the comprehensive photo evidence and itemized loss reports your insurance adjuster needs to process your claim accurately.
- Direct Communication: We can work directly with your insurance provider to streamline approvals, ensuring the restoration work begins without unnecessary delays.
We Stop Secondary Damage in Its Tracks
Fire damage doesn’t stop once the flames are out. Corrosive soot and firefighting water continue to destroy your home every hour they remain.
- Advanced Soot Removal: We use specialized chemical sponges and ultrasonic cleaning to remove acidic soot before it permanently etches your fixtures, appliances, and glass.
- Rapid Structural Drying: Using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, we extract water and dry your home’s structure to prevent mold growth and “dry-out” the bones of the building.
- Deep Odor Neutralization: We don’t just mask smells. We use thermal fogging and ozone technology to break down smoke molecules at the source, ensuring your home smells fresh again.
Our Goal: To minimize your expense and downtime. The faster our team begins the recovery, the more of your property we can save, getting you back into your home sooner.
How long does the fire restoration process take?
Every project is unique, but the initial "mitigation" phase (securing the site and drying water) usually takes 3 to 7 days. The full reconstruction depends on the extent of the structural damage. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment.
Can I clean the smoke damage myself?
We strongly advise against it. Incorrect cleaning methods can actually "set" the soot into the walls or upholstery, making it permanent. Furthermore, breathing in soot particles without professional-grade PPE can be hazardous to your health.
What happens to my furniture and personal belongings?
We offer "content pack-out" services. We carefully inventory, pack, and store your items, then they are cleaned, deodorized, and stored until your home is ready for move-in.
Is the smell of smoke ever truly gone?
Yes. While household sprays won't work, our professional-grade equipment neutralizes smoke odors at a molecular level. We treat the air ducts, wall cavities, and subfloors to ensure no lingering scents remain.
