When restoration of fire damage occurs in a home or office, no job is too big for American Restoration. Our experienced staff will provide immediate response to mitigate any further fire and smoke damage.

Our contractors primary objective when performing restoration services after a fire and smoke loss is to return the damaged property to its pre-loss condition. Depending on the damage incurred, cleaning, deodorization, or reconstruction could be required, perhaps all three.

American Restoration can provide a pack-out of all the fire and smoke damaged contents to our warehouse for temporary storage and cleaning. We provide contents inventory during the pack-out, which will be invaluable in processing the insurance claim. Photographs and videos of the damage are part of the services we provide, and indeed, are the best evidence in any insurance claim.

Our on-site emergency services coordinator will provide security and salvage for your personal belongings, board up windows, secure the premises, and shut off water and power to avoid any further damage to your home.

WATER DAMAGE

Some of the most common causes of residential water leaks are stopped up sinks, sewage backups, broken pipes, leaky roofs, malfunctioning appliances, or natural disasters. Cold weather, flashfloods, and tornadoes cause damage to homes at a rapid pace, resulting in a rush against the clock. Water leaks require preventative and corrective action immediately.

The first step to mitigate damage is to determine and contain the source of the water leak. If the source of your water damage is from a plumbing malfunction, you should first contact a plumber. If you are experiencing a leaky roof, a malfunctioning appliance, or a flood from any other water source, call American Restoration immediately. The experienced emergency service team at American Restoration is available 24/7 to provide the attention a water damage insurance claim demands. We are available to provide you with emergency service as well as complete restoration to your home. We will work with you and your insurance company from start to finish.

American Restoration's first priority is to represent you, the homeowners, to correctly document your insurance claim and professionally repair the damage to your property.

WIND DAMAGE

Wind is one of the most powerful natural forces on earth, sometimes carrying with it water and debris that can be devastating. Wind can be unpredictable and incredibly powerful. From the strong wind gusts of a summer storm to the dusty spiral of a tornado to the gale-force onslaught of a powerful storm, wind takes many destructive forms.

If your property suffers wind damage, don't hesitate to call American Restoration. Our roofing contractors have extensive experience in handling all kinds of wind damage. The most common are residential roofing related issues, where either a tree has collapsed on a structure, or the wind has pulled up a section of (or all of) the roof and requires immediate roof repair so you don't get a leaky roof.

American Recstoration offers full restoration for any type of wind damage. We work with businesses, homeowners and insurance companies to bring about pre-loss conditions quickly and efficiently.

A few tips for wind-proofing your home:
1. Know your risk. Contact your local Red Cross chapter for information about hazards in your community.
2. Be sure you have sufficient insurance. Talk to your agent about insurance and wind damage coverage.
3. Check your roof sheathing. "Sheathing" is the plywood skin that covers the rafters in your roof. It is comprised of multiple sheets of plywood that are nailed to the rafters, providing both stability and coverage. Take a look in your attic at the rafters, and be sure the nails that hold the sheathing to the rafters have not missed their mark. Talk to American Restoration if your sheathing has not been properly installed.
4. Be sure your end gables are supported properly. "End gables" are the trusses that are used for the walls at the ends of your roof. There should be an "X" support bracing system perpendicular to these end wall gables.
5. Ice dams and water shield may be necessary. If your area is prone to high winds and lots of snow, make sure you have Ice dams and water shield in place.
6. Double-entry doors should be secured at the top and bottom by bolts. If you have double doors, be sure your locking hardware is capable of withstanding high winds.
7. Confirm garage door security. A poorly-installed garage door can cave in during high winds, exposing the interior of your house to dangerous wind pressures.
8. Consider storm shutters. It is advisable to use storm shutters for exposed windows, glass surfaces, French doors, sliding glass doors and skylights. Contact American Restoration for more information.
