Property damage restoration – from start to finish.
When fire or water turns an ordinary day into a disaster, NY American Emergency System is standing by. Within an hour, we can be there to evaluate the situation and explain every step of the recovery and reconstruction process. Yes, we’re disaster recovery professionals, but we’re also people who understand how shocking the aftermath of a serious fire or flood can be.
Property securing and board-up.
Our service often begins with the job of securing your property against further damage by boarding up its windows and other openings.
Our professionals provide one-hour response time and around-the-clock board-up services to prevent potential wind damage, theft, liability, and even vandalism. When needed, we install roof tarps, temporary fencing, brace walls or floors for additional structural strength.
Fire and smoke restoration services.
A fire leaves behind more damage than caused by the fire alone. Smoke and soot can seep into your walls, travel through air ducts and can stain or even corrode most surfaces. We understand that this can be a very traumatic and challenging time for you, that's why NY American Emergency System is available day or night to assist you quickly in the event of a fire.
What’s more, the water used to put out the fire alone can cause most of the damage. Water can find its way into areas of the home or business that may not have been directly affected by the fire. Contents like furniture, clothing and other personal belongings that haven't been damaged by fire can be damaged just as severe by water. This makes fire damage restoration a multi-phase process.
This first phase includes:
• Checking the structural integrity of the building for safe entry
• Identifying and securing any potential electrical dangers
• Haulting the flow of seeping water that damages unaffected areas
• Removing any contents of the building that can be restored
Once the emergency steps are completed, the actual restoration and reconstruction process can start. We will then remove discard of damaged walls, ceilings and floors; cleaning soot and deodorizing smoke; and start a list of supplies needed and the scheduling the neccesary trades that will actually rebuild your property.
Flood damage restoration services.
Time is crucial when water damage from fire or flood occurs at your home or business. Water can penetrate into structural cavities forming trapped pockets of saturation creating mold growth in as little as 48 hours. So, in the event of flood damage, call our 24 hour emergency response team immediately.
Our water damage restoration technicians will take fast and appropriate actions to extract water from all types of flooring, walls and ceilings. Using the latest techniques, we are able to detect how far the moisture runs. We quickly set up water extraction machines that vacuum up the majority of the water, then monitor the drying process to verify your property is dried thoroughly. This rapid response is a critical first step to avoid or limit mold growth.
