01
Emergency call and arrival
Call (855) 927-6272 and we dispatch a crew, day or night. We ask about the fire location, whether the power is shut off, and how much water the fire department used, then arrive with a water extraction unit, air movers, and a moisture meter on board. Most South Ogden addresses see us within the hour.
02
Inspection and moisture mapping
We walk the house with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, checking wall cavities, ceilings, and the wood subfloor. A boroscope goes into closed cavities where firefighting water pooled. You get a written scope with wet areas marked before any equipment is placed.
03
Water extraction
Standing water comes out first using a water extraction unit and Shop-Vac for tight corners. We pull saturated insulation and cut out drywall that cannot be saved, then set plastic sheeting to contain the work zone. Extraction typically takes two to four hours on a standard South Ogden ranch home.
04
Structural drying
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Restoration Equipment air movers and dehumidifiers run for three to five days, with daily moisture readings logged on a hygrometer. We adjust equipment placement each visit until the drywall, baseboard, and subfloor hit dry standard. You get a daily update, not silence.
05
Odor control and final walkthrough
Once the structure is dry, we treat affected surfaces with antimicrobial solution, run a final desiccant pass for smoke odor, and walk the house with you. You receive moisture logs and photo documentation for your insurance claim, and we do not pull equipment until the readings hold.
