All it takes is a small spark to ignite a raging wildfire and communities across North America are more at risk than ever before. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), wildfire damage peaked at 20 million acres in 2020 compared to only six million acres in 2000. Natural Resources Canada is seeing similar trends reporting losses of 44 million acres in 2023 and less than five million acres in 2000. PuroClean Franchise Owners who provide fire remediation play a critical role in rebuilding communities after the unthinkable.
There are plenty of fire remediation companies to choose from, but PuroClean prides itself on being a fire restoration franchise that puts their customers first – receiving CNN Underscore’s best customer satisfaction award in 2024.
The emotional toll on life after a fire isn’t easy and it’s hard for people to know where to begin when it’s time to reconstruct. By offering 24/7 fire and water damage restoration services, PuroClean helps individuals and communities get their lives back after a fire has occurred.
Fire and Water Damage Restoration Experts
What does a remediation company do? Cleanup of fire damage is only part of the restoration process. Additional damage can also be caused by the water used to extinguish the flames, introducing the risk of mold. As experts in damage assessment and cleanup, PuroClean prioritizes customer safety by identifying any health hazards that may put them and their families at risk. Part of this assessment includes identifying secondary damage or additional damage that can occur because of the fire, like long-term structural issues.
Additionally, smoke residue, soot, and ash contain toxic substances that are harmful to the public’s health. PuroClean trains staff using a One Team approach that includes the certification on how to manage the site cleanup properly, which includes access to industrial-grade equipment like ventilation fans and air purifiers to begin the process of airing out homes and business with state-of-the-art deodorizing techniques.
The kind of fire damage restoration services customers expect from PuroClean include smoke odor removal and professional deodorization, emergency cleaning and sanitation, pack-outs and contents cleaning, temporary protection like boarding-up windows, complete carpet removal, and puff-back cleaning.
PuroClean then provides information on how homeowners and businesses can prevent any further property damage while working with insurance companies on the restoration process.
Working With Insurance Companies
Navigating the complexity of an insurance claim is both stressful and difficult. PuroClean understands the insurance-speak and legal jargon that can add an extra layer of frustration to the remediation process. That’s why the physical restoration of property is only part of the PuroClean experience. As a World-Class Brand, we offer the knowledge and expertise our Franchise Owners need to work with insurance companies. When you work with PuroClean, you’ll have access to decades worth of institutional knowledge. This includes how to provide thorough documentation of the damage and list the fire remediation work that will be required to get claims approved faster.
Insurance companies also want to know that you’re continuing to protect the property during the remediation process. Installing fencing and boarding up broken windows are just a few ways to secure customers from looting, vandalism, and additional weather damage.
Part of being one of the best franchises for small towns includes a mastery of the municipal legislation policies and insurance laws at the neighborhood level — not just at the federal, state levels. PuroClean has experience working within communities throughout North America to provide advice on how to document claims, including experience with local building codes to ensure safety regulations are followed in the cleanup process.
What Does the Fire Remediation Process Look Like?
PuroClean will assess properties by determining the extent of the damage that’s visible and hidden. Depending on the damage, items will be qualified to be thrown away or restored. Excess water is also removed, and the property is dried out to prevent further moisture damage. PuroClean Franchise Owners and their team are masters of the professional-grade equipment required to clean up soot, remove smoke odors, and eliminate biological and chemical pollutants.
