About Property Restoration
Drying times vary based on humidity, temperature, and material type. Typically, it takes 3–5 days, but our technicians monitor progress daily using moisture meters to ensure everything is fully dry before restoration.
Once the structure is confirmed dry, we perform a final inspection and coordinate the restoration phase, replacing materials and returning your home to pre-loss condition.
It depends on the extent of damage and water category. For clean water incidents, most homeowners can stay. For contaminated water or large losses, temporary relocation may be recommended.
We provide detailed reports, including moisture logs, drying records, photos, and notes for your insurance adjuster, ensuring transparency for your claim.
Category 3 (black water) requires specialized cleaning, disinfection, and removal of porous materials. Our technicians follow strict IICRC standards to ensure safety and sanitation.
Immediately. The longer soot and smoke remain, the greater the damage to surfaces and air quality. Quick action helps minimize costs and salvage more materials.
Non-porous materials like metal, glass, and certain hardwoods can often be cleaned. Porous items (fabrics, paper, drywall) may need replacement depending on severity.
Soot is acidic and can spread or stain further with improper cleaning. Professional-grade chemical sponges and HEPA filtration are required to remove fine particles safely.
We inventory and pack out affected items, clean and deodorize salvageable contents off-site, and store them safely until your property is ready.
After ensuring everyone’s safety, contact your local fire department to confirm it’s safe to re-enter the property. Avoid cleaning or touching soot-covered surfaces and call a professional restoration company like PuroClean of Albuquerque right away. Prompt action helps prevent permanent damage from smoke and soot.
