FIRE AND SMOKE DAMAGE

THE BLACKMON MOORING & BMS CAT FIRE AND SMOKE RESTORATION PROCESS

Our teams are ready to react quickly and can tailor our services to the unique challenges every situation presents. Blackmon Mooring & BMS CAT uses cutting-edge equipment to

clean and restore fixtures and features of homes and businesses like carpets, walls, ceilings, electronics, the HVAC system and woodwork from damage caused by smoke.

Before restoration can begin, one of our professionals will evaluate your property by

performing a visual survey and inspect the damage to create an estimate based on what processes will be utilized to clean affected areas.

First Things First

To ensure the restoration process is a success, it’s best to take the following precautions to prevent further damage or injury:

Step 1: Preventative Measures

Blackmon Mooring & BMS CAT’s emergency response teams seal off the area that has been affected by smoke or fire damage, preventing ash and residue from contaminating

undamaged areas. Our professionals utilize a ceiling-to-floor cleaning approach to ensure a thorough, ordered sequence of restoring the property back to its pre-loss condition.

Step 2: Water Extraction and Drying

Fires extinguished by fire sprinklers or hoses can cause water and moisture to accumulate in your home or business. Our professionals use commercial-grade water extraction

equipment, blowers and dryers to quickly and efficiently extract water and moisture to thoroughly dry out your property.

Step 3: Salvage and Disposal

Items such as rugs, clothing, furniture, linen and other belongings are extracted and sorted through to determine if they’re salvageable or need to be disposed of. Salvageable items will be restored, if the restoration cost is less than replacing the item. All of our locations offer temporary storage space, which allows us to remove and safeguard the items from

your home or office that we will be restoring. Blackmon Mooring & BMS CAT will work with your insurance adjuster to ensure they have access to unsalvageable items for claims

adjustment purposes.

Step 4: Thorough Cleaning

Once your home or office space has been cleared, the cleaning process begins. Our comprehensive cleaning process utilizes cutting-edge equipment that will disinfect and deodorize carpets, walls, furniture, linens, drapes, cabinetry, ceilings and other surfaces.
