Fire Damage Restoration

The first 24 hours after a fire is a critical time period. Fast action by a qualified fire damage restoration company is vital in order to put a stop to the secondary damage caused by the smoke, heat and water from the fire. The sooner the restoration process can begin, the less costly and more successful it will be.

Fire damage restoration entails the total cleanup of your property and possessions and returning them to their pre-incident condition. This is properly done by trained and certified technicians using special equipment and cleaning products. Since extinguishing the fire requires large amounts of water, fire damage restoration also involves cleaning up water damage.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Review


Excellent service after a traumatic and shaky start. We had a fire at our house that displaced us for 16 months. All of our possessions were dispersed in different warehouses for storage and cleaning of what could be salvaged. We feared that most everything was gone or damaged so we had little hopes of recovering 38 years of memories. When we finally returned home WDR brought back over 120 boxes of carefully cleaned and wrapped items we never expected to see again.

It was mind boggling but more impactful was the level of professionalism and personal care displayed by the team assigned to help us unwrap and sort out our things. I'm sure there were more people behind the scenes that helped turn this painful experience into a positive one but we'd like to especially thank Christian, Roy, Arlatin, Stevi, Lewis, Brandon and Roxana. Their patience, flexibility and willingness to adjust to our specific circumstances were above and beyond expectation. I hope to never have to go through this again but there would be no doubt that we would use this company again.
