WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

We lived in a townhome that shared a wall with another unit that had a massive fire. There was no fire damage on my side but water from the fire hose seeped over and the smell was AWFUL! Dennis brought over a massive air cleaner right away to clean the air, and also remedied the water so we never had to move out. We were able to stay put comfortably the whole time!

Dennis is also trustworthy, communicates well, and is very kind. I would highly recommend, no matter what the issue!

Mary Thomas

Dennis and his team did an excellent job taking down my garage and clearing my house after a fire destroyed it and damaged the entire building. I had to deal with issues getting money between my bank and insurance and he was extremely patient throughout the whole process. I would recommend him and work with him again without a doubt.

Paul Gibler

I had an electrical fire in my garage on New Year’s Day 2020... It was a terrible start to what looks to be an otherwise fantastic year..

Between dealing with the insurance company and figuring out a way to get my garage back in order; it really seemed like a monumental task.

Luckily I found Kelley Klean, and all of a sudden I was able to get back to my (already very busy) normal life. They communicated with the insurance company, did an impartial list of lost possessions, got rid of everything that couldn’t be saved, and cleaned my house so well we joked about putting it on the market.

There is no trace of the fire. They turned the situation into something very manageable. I will forever use them for any further services I ever need in that area.

Actions To Take After A Fire

1. Safety First

Make sure you and those around you are in a safe spot, and the fire is completely gone. Do not attempt to remove or clean any items, building materials or electronics.

2. Call the Professionals

In the restoration business, time is key to getting your property restored. When a fire hits your property, you have three forms of damage; water, soot and smoke. With any water damage situation, you only have 24 hours before mold and secondary damage starts to occur. The quicker you give us a call, the faster we can start the mitigation process.

At Kelley Klean, we equip our technicians with the right tools to identify even the water that has migrated beyond what is obvious to the naked eye. We closely and carefully follow the path of water flow and try to identify the actual damage due to water ingress. We also assess the secondary damage to the property due to water leakage.

3. Air Out the Property

Whenever possible, unlock windows and doors in the building to air it out.

4. Inventory your Items

As soon as your property is available and deemed safe, inventory your belongings in the affected locations as best as you can. Create copies of that list if necessary, and be sure to submit it to your insurance company.

5. Empty Appliances

If applicable, clear the refrigerator or the freezer and leave it open. It is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator or the freezer, unload it, and leave it open to allow it to air out in case the electrical system in the building was destroyed because of the fire. By doing this, you prevent food from spoiling.

6. Leave the cleaning to the Professionals

Do not attempt cleaning until the situation on your property is considered risk-free. Allow the experts to deal with the affected areas of your property first since you could be dispersing more hazardous particulates and thus causing more damage.

As the affected areas dry, we will slowly take equipment out until drying is complete. Depending on the severity of the project this could take as little as three days.

7. Steer Clear of electronics

There are possibilities of an unnoticed short circuit in the device and/or appliance involved. Leave it to the professionals to deem the environment safe and hazard-free.
