While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we reach Kentwood.

Do

Wait for the fire department to clear the building before going back in
Call your insurance company early — fire claims move better with an early start
Keep receipts for anything you buy while displaced
Let us board up openings and tarp the roof to prevent secondary damage

Don’t

Wipe soot off walls or furniture — rubbing works it deeper into the surface
Run the HVAC system — it spreads soot through the whole house
Wash smoke-damaged clothing with regular detergent
Throw anything away before it is documented for your claim

Our Process

1

You call, we answer

Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.
2

We assess

Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.
3

We do the work

What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.
4

You get your property back to normal

Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Kentwood homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
