  • Water Damage Mitigation:

    Fires often result in water damage due to firefighting efforts. It is not uncommon for the water to cause more damage than the fire itself. The professionals at SCCS NWI will assess and address any water damage to prevent mold and structural issues.

  • Odor Removal:

    Smoke odor can linger and be difficult to eliminate. Restoration experts have the knowledge and tools to remove or neutralize the odor effectively.

  • Clean Up and Restoration

A fire can be a traumatic experience, and it's important to seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals if needed. The restoration process can be extensive, but with the right professionals by your side, your property can be restored to its pre-loss condition.
