Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Hartley Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Hartley, IA fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Hartley properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Hartley homes.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Hartley jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Our Guarantee

The Standard We Hold Every Fire Damage Removal Job To

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.

Single Point Of Contact

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.

A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Hartley inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
