Why us

Why Indian Trail homeowners choose us for fire damage repairs and cleanup

  • We arrive within 60 minutes

    We are on the road as soon as you call, any hour of the day. After a fire the building is open to the weather and the smoke is still moving through it. Getting there fast is what keeps the second round of damage from being worse than the first.

  • We board up and secure the building

    A fire leaves broken windows, an open roof and a door anyone can walk through. We board up and tarp on the first visit, before any cleaning starts. That keeps the rain and the wind out while you talk to your insurance company.

  • Free estimates, no obligation

    We come out and walk the property with you. We show you exactly what the water did and what it will cost to fix. The visit is free and you are under no obligation. Nothing starts until you tell us to go ahead.

  • IICRC certified, licensed in North Carolina

    We are an IICRC certified firm, which is the industry standard for restoration work. The certification is held by the company and the number is public, so you can look it up rather than take our word for it. We are also licensed general contractors in North Carolina, so the same licenses cover the drying and the rebuild that comes after it.

  • We've been serving Indian Trail since 2014

    We have taken fire and smoke calls since 2014, and detached houses are most of that work. Indian Trail holds 14,576 homes, and 12,958 of them are single-family detached. About 85 percent of the stock postdates 1990 and about 201 homes predate 1960. That means one building, one owner and one policy on nearly every call. The claim then turns on the record of what burned. Years of writing those files is what makes them hold up.

  • We are a full service restoration company

    We handle the cleanup and the repairs. First we secure the building, remove what burned and clean the soot and smoke out of what is left. Then we put the rooms back together: framing, drywall, flooring, paint and cabinets. We are licensed general contractors in both Carolinas, so one company does all of it and you only have one number to call.

Call any hour. The number reaches the people who do the work.

Most fire jobs here are paid by the homeowner's insurance. We write our estimates in Xactimate, the same software adjusters use, so the numbers line up the first time. One structure and one policy removes the boundary arguments that shared buildings create, and it leaves the file carrying the whole claim. We document what burned, what the smoke reached and what the water reached, and we keep you informed as the claim moves. Where your policy and carrier allow it, the billing goes straight to them.

Direct billing subject to your policy and carrier approval.

Our process

Our process

24-7 AquaDry is family owned, not a franchise, and not a name off an insurance company's vendor list. You hire us, so we work for you. The estimate is free, we bill your carrier directly for the restoration work, and the paperwork is not one more thing you are holding. Here is the sequence the work runs in, so you know what is happening and when.

We close the building up first, then assess it, then take out what burned before any cleaning starts. Cleaning the soot and odor comes next, and the rebuild last. The assessment carries the rest, because the smoke has usually gone further than the fire.

What it finds in Indian Trail follows the housing. NFPA puts kitchen-origin fires at 30 percent in one- and two-family homes against 68 percent in multifamily. With 12,958 of 14,576 homes single-family detached, more fires here start away from a cooktop. That usually means the fire had somewhere to travel before anyone saw it. Brandon Oaks and Crismark are 2000s builds with steady air paths, and those paths get checked at the cavities. Fire water in a detached house stays in one part of the building, so it gets measured on the first visit.

What can I say about Dan and his team at 24/7 AquaDry other than they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From our very first call, as water was pouring between our first and second levels in our home, Dan and his team were responsive, compassionate, supportive, knowledgeable, and effective.

Dan was extremely helpful throughout the whole process helping us with water damage concerns at our property in Matthews. He was very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and took the time to explain everything clearly instead of just trying to rush through the job. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people and doing things the right way.

Water damage as well as fire? Suppression water is part of most fire losses, and it is the same crew. Water damage restoration in Indian Trail.

Questions

Fire damage restoration in Indian Trail: common questions

What is your process for fire damage restoration in Indian Trail?

Five steps, in the same order every time. We board up the building and assess what burned and what the smoke reached. Then we remove what cannot be saved, clean the soot and odor and rebuild. The assessment is the step that changes most in Indian Trail. Nearly every job is one detached house, so the work goes into tracing where the smoke and the water went inside it.

How much does fire damage restoration cost in Indian Trail?

It depends on how far the smoke went, how much has to come out and what the rebuild involves. That is why the estimate is free. We come out, walk the property with you and price the work before you decide. One structure and one policy keeps the pricing conversation simple, and the documented scope is what it rests on. Most fire jobs are paid by the homeowner's insurance, and we write our estimates in Xactimate, the same software adjusters use.

Does smoke damage spread beyond the burned room?

Yes. Smoke follows air into wall cavities, ceiling voids and ducting, so rooms away from the fire still hold odor and residue. Looking at a wall rarely tells you, which is the problem. It gets established by inspecting cavities and attic spaces and following the paths the air took. In detached houses of this era those paths are steady, so they can be checked.

Will my insurance cover fire and smoke damage?

Standard homeowner policies generally cover sudden and accidental damage, and a fire is the clearest example there is. What your policy actually pays is decided by your carrier and their adjuster, never by us. What we control is the file they decide on. We photograph what burned, how far the smoke travelled and what the suppression water reached. All of it is recorded before anything is moved.

We answer 24/7.
