4 Important Reasons to Call AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex for Fire and Smoke Damage

July in the Triangle can be an active one for a home or business owner. It starts with the 4^th of July, which, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is the biggest day for fires. On this holiday, almost one-half of all fires are caused by fireworks; it’s a surprising statistic. Another fire hazard that peaks in July, especially in North Carolina is lightning. The NFPA reports that lightning-related fires during the peak months of June, July, and August are most common in the late afternoon and evening.  Barbecuing and grilling are another significant cause of home fires in the United States. If accidental fire does affect a home or business, a quick and expert response is necessary to minimize further damage and recover from the disaster.

Here are four very important reasons to call AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex for fire and smoke damage recovery:

• AdvantaClean is both qualified and knowledgeable: Our team is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the widely-recognized national authority on cleaning and restoration, to clean up fire and smoke damage. We use the latest techniques and follow the very highest standards of customer care.
• AdvantaClean is always available, even on holidays: The AdvantaClean professionals are always trained and ready whenever problems happen, including holiday weekends. The soot, ash, and smoke residues from a fire start discoloring and etching various materials immediately in most cases. Water and moisture from fighting the fire can cause mold to grow and spread within 48 hours. We get right to work on those issues so they don’t become huge problems later.
• AdvantaClean knows how insurance claims adjusters work: We are very familiar with industry  processes and practices, and we will work with them to make the disaster recovery process go as trouble-free as possible for our customers. We also work for our customers to ensure that they are getting the best advice and the best remediation work for the return to normalcy. .
• AdvantaClean is an expert at eliminating mold: Too often, less experienced or less qualified restoration contractors overlook the potential for mold problems during and after cleaning up the aftermath of a fire. The water used to extinguish a fire can get into walls and crevices; this   can lead to mold growth that stays around long after the cleanup. We know where to look and what to do so future mold problems are not a lingering consequence of fire. Our experience saves time and money.
