Fort Mill, SC Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

You might have read the headlines, seen the construction around town, or waited in the traffic associated with the population boom in York County. But, have you ever wondered who are all of these people, and where do they come from? York County Economic Development was also wondering, and took a closer look. In their first blog, they lay the ground work and focus on why people move here. The number one reason people are moving to our area? Jobs. 

Part 2 of the blog explores where all our new residents are coming from. If you've lived here for any time, you'll find you're hard-pressed to find someone who actually is native. Our new residents are mostly relocating from elsewhere within the Carolinas, followed by residents from New York, Florida and Georgia.

So what is it about a York County lifestyle that is appealing to so many? Maybe they come to relax and enjoy the beautiful waters of the Catawba River and Lake Wylie? Or sports fans drawn in by the world-class amateur sports facilities like the Giordana Velodrome and BMX Supercross Track. Perhaps it’s our top rated public school districts attracting young families. Or, maybe the word has gotten out about the favorable tax rates and the more “bang for your buck” housing stock.

With perhaps a plethora of reasons leading to this data, the migration patterns clearly speak for themselves, York County's draw is real, and likely here to stay.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
