WIND DAMAGE

Severe storms, such as those caused by hurricanes or tornados, can have disastrous effects on any property. Even the sturdiest commercial structures can face extensive wind damage following weather like this. We understand that recovering from this kind of damage can be overwhelming. We offer wind damage restoration services from start to finish, so you can put your mind at ease.

Over our years in business, we have encountered all kinds of storm damage, from mild to severe. One of the most common types of damage we face in Lower Mainland is wind damage.

FIRE DAMAGE

Fire damage restoration is a process that begins as soon as the property is safe. Smoke is an acidic byproduct of fire capable of corroding and staining surfaces.In any kind of fire damage steps have to be taken to mitigate the blaze as blaze can cause more damage than the actual fire. This is why proper fire restoration deals with heat, smoke and water damage. We also dry-clean all the fabrics and try and restore what ever is possible.

Behavior of Smoke

A fire loss is very complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. It is important to have trained technicians at the loss location. Ash Restoration know everything about smoke

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke will greatly affect the restoration process.

Types of Smoke

The first step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. Next, Ash Restoration tests the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.

• Wet Smoke – Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
• Dry Smoke – Fast burning at high temperatures.
• Protein – Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
• Fuel Oil Soot – Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
• Other Types – Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.

Pretesting

After the type of smoke is known, pretesting on the property is performed to determine the following:

• What can be restored versus what can be replaced
• The most effective cleaning method
• Conditions to the property before the damage occurred
• The full extent of the loss
• Eliminate needless replacements

Pretesting also allows the Ash Restorations Professional to focus on saving precious items for you, and that is what really matters!

Electronic cleaning

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. Smoke residues can contain acids that will corrode metal surfaces when moisture is also present. If the residues are not removed, corrosion eats away at metals and causes electronic failure in the device.

Ash Restoration professional is available to clean the interior of electronic items to stop further corrosion. They will qualify with the adjuster about sending the electronics to be cleaned/inspected by an electronics technician.

It is very important NOT to turn on electrical equipment that may have been damaged.

Contents Packout

A move out involves moving a customer’s contents to a remote location for more specialized cleaning. During restoration, the insured may be housed in temporary housing, and the move out will facilitate a quicker restoration of the damaged structure. There are many reasons for moving the contents out of a structure.

• To enable a quicker remodeling process.
• To protect items from potential damage caused by remodeling.
• If the contents require extensive restoration.
• The structure may be damaged to such an extent the contents also could become damaged or security may be a problem.

The structure may be saturated with so much water the contents could become damaged as the interior moisture content seeks a state of equilibrium.

Ash Restorations will work with the customer to coordinate the move back to accommodate the needs of the customer.
