Time Matters

Why Fast Response Is Critical for Fire Damage

When it comes to fire damage, time is your most valuable resource. The longer damage goes unaddressed, the more severe and costly the restoration becomes. Secondary damage can begin within hours, turning a manageable situation into a major disaster.

Our 90-minute response target in nearby service areas exists because we understand this urgency. By arriving quickly and beginning mitigation immediately, we can often prevent thousands of dollars in additional damage and significantly reduce the overall restoration timeline.

Advanced DRI maintains multiple office locations throughout the Northeast specifically to ensure rapid response times. Our strategically positioned teams, combined with our fleet of fully-equipped service vehicles, mean help is always nearby when you need it most.

Making the Right Choice

How to Choose a Fire Damage Company

Choosing the right restoration company is one of the most important decisions you will make after property damage occurs. The company you select will directly impact the quality of your restoration, how quickly you can return to normal, and your overall experience during a difficult time. Here are key factors to consider when making your decision:

Certifications and Training: Look for companies with IICRC certification, which is the industry standard for restoration professionals. IICRC-certified technicians have completed rigorous training and must maintain their certification through continuing education. At Advanced DRI, all our technicians hold relevant IICRC certifications and receive ongoing training on the latest restoration techniques and equipment.

Experience and Reputation: Experience matters significantly in restoration work. A company with years of experience has encountered countless scenarios and developed the expertise to handle any situation effectively. Check online reviews, ask for references, and verify the company has a solid track record. Advanced DRI has been serving the Northeast since 2005, completing over 15,000 restoration projects with consistently high customer satisfaction ratings.

Response Time and Availability: Damage does not wait for business hours, and neither should your restoration company. Ensure the company offers true 24/7 emergency service with rapid response times. Ask about their average response time and whether they have local crews in your area. Our 90-minute response target is backed by multiple office locations strategically positioned throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Insurance Expertise: Restoration claims can be complex, and having a company experienced in working with insurance is invaluable. Ask if they work directly with insurance companies, handle documentation, and communicate with adjusters. A good restoration company can often maximize your claim while minimizing your stress. Our team has established relationships with all major insurers and handles the entire claims process on behalf of our customers.

Equipment and Techniques: Professional restoration requires commercial-grade equipment that far exceeds what is available to consumers. Ask about the equipment the company uses and whether they stay current with industry advances. Advanced DRI invests continuously in the latest technology, including thermal imaging cameras, commercial dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, and specialized cleaning equipment.

FAQ

Fire Damage Questions

Common questions about our fire damage services.

Yes, with professional treatment, smoke odors and stains can be completely eliminated from your property. We use advanced techniques including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odors at the molecular level. For surfaces, we employ specialized cleaning methods tailored to each material type, from dry sponge cleaning for walls to ultrasonic cleaning for contents. Our goal is to return your property to its pre-fire condition with no lingering smoke smell.
Fire restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage. Minor kitchen fires may be restored within 1-2 weeks, while major structural fires can take 2-3 months for complete restoration including reconstruction. We provide a detailed project timeline during our initial assessment, breaking down each phase from emergency board-up through final reconstruction so you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.
After ensuring everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the property, contact your insurance company and then call a professional restoration company immediately. Do not attempt to clean soot yourself as improper cleaning can cause permanent staining. Avoid turning on HVAC systems which can spread soot throughout the property. Keep windows and doors closed, and do not enter the property until it has been deemed safe. We can guide you through these steps when you call.
Yes, Advanced DRI provides complete fire restoration services from emergency response through final reconstruction. This includes emergency board-up and tarping, water removal from firefighting efforts, soot and smoke cleaning, odor elimination, structural repairs, and complete rebuilding to pre-loss condition. Having one company manage the entire process ensures better coordination, faster completion, and a single point of contact for you and your insurance company.
Many items can be professionally restored after fire and smoke damage, often at a fraction of replacement cost. Our contents restoration team evaluates each item and uses specialized techniques including ultrasonic cleaning, ozone treatment, and dry cleaning methods to restore furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, and personal items. We create a detailed inventory and work with your insurance to maximize coverage for restoration versus replacement.
Smoke odor removal requires a multi-step approach because odor particles penetrate deep into materials. We first remove the source of odors by cleaning all surfaces and removing unsalvageable materials. Then we use industrial air scrubbers with activated carbon filters, thermal fogging that penetrates the same areas smoke did, ozone generators for severe cases, and hydroxyl generators for occupied spaces. We verify success through air quality testing before considering the job complete.
Our team includes licensed contractors who handle all structural repairs and reconstruction. We begin with a thorough structural assessment to identify damage to framing, roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. We then work with your insurance adjuster to develop a comprehensive scope of repairs. Our reconstruction services restore your property to pre-loss condition or better, handling everything from drywall and painting to complete room additions when needed.
We have extensive experience working with all major insurance companies on fire damage claims. Our team documents all damage with photos, videos, and detailed written reports that meet insurance industry standards. We prepare itemized estimates, communicate directly with your adjuster, and can supplement claims when additional damage is discovered. Our goal is to ensure you receive fair compensation for all covered damages while minimizing your stress during this difficult time.
