Why us
Why Monroe 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 Monroe since 2014
Monroe is the county seat and holds the oldest housing in Union County. Of 13,469 homes, 925 were built in 1939 or earlier, in and around the two historic districts. The town also has 340 manufactured homes and about 2,900 units in duplexes and multi-unit buildings. Those are three different fire jobs with three different first hours. We have worked on all three since 2014, so the first question on the call is what kind of building it is.
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.

Insurance billing
We work with all insurance companies for fire and smoke damage in Monroe
Most fire jobs 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. Monroe holds manufactured housing and pre-war housing, and both produce claims where the scope gets argued. Both are settled on what was documented before anything moved. We photograph what burned, what the smoke reached and what the water reached, and we keep you posted 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.
A fire job moves through five steps, and the cleaning starts once the building is secure. We secure the openings first, then work out how far the fire, the smoke and the suppression water carried. We haul out what cannot be saved and clean the soot off what stays. Odor treatment follows, and the rebuild is last. What the assessment finds is what changes.
In the pre-war core around the two historic districts the assessment opens up. Plaster over lath and long stud bays let heat and smoke move through the structure. The question becomes what those walls carried into the rest of the house. In manufactured housing the shape is different. A much smaller air volume means heavier smoke loading for the same size of fire. The line between cleaning and replacing sits somewhere else entirely.

Restoration work is a stressful thing to hire for, so see what people say about how fast we answered, and how the job actually went.
Donald CrenshawCame in 30min for a freak accident with a water cooler. Explained everything and put my mind at ease. Very informative, 10/10.
Taylor MaxwellWhen we noticed a water stain on the ceiling, we called Dan and he was at our house within the hour. He made an assessment and had his team out same day. They were polite, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend!!
247 Aquadry recently helped with the water damage at my home in Pineville after a refrigerator leak caused damage to our floors and cabinets. They were responsive, professional, and quickly diagnosed and remediated the water damage with minimal impact to the surrounding areas.
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 and his team were responsive, timely, friendly, and resourceful. They arrived when they said they would, provided a bid when they said they would, and completed the job within their estimated timeframe. Their professionalism and care stand out. I felt well taken care of throughout the process. I highly recommend 24/7 AquaDry!
Ernesto RodriguezDan 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 Monroe.

Questions
Fire damage restoration in Monroe: common questions
What is your process for fire damage restoration in Monroe?
Five steps, in the same order every time. We board up and tarp, then assess what the fire, the smoke and the water reached. We remove what cannot be saved, clean the soot and treat the odor. The rebuild comes last. The assessment is the step that changes here. In the historic districts it reaches inside plaster walls and ceiling voids. In a manufactured home it starts with what can be cleaned and what has to be replaced.
How much does fire damage restoration cost in Monroe?
It depends on how far the fire, the smoke and the water travelled, and on what they damaged. That is why the estimate is free. We walk the property with you and price the work before you commit to anything. A pre-1940 house, a manufactured home and a duplex give three different prices for the same size of fire. Most jobs are paid by the homeowner's insurance.
Does smoke damage spread beyond the burned room?
Yes, and how far depends on the building. Smoke follows air into wall cavities, ceiling voids, insulation and ducting, so it reaches rooms the flame never touched. Plaster over lath and long stud bays in the older districts give it a longer run. In a manufactured home the smaller air volume leaves heavier residue on everything, and in a duplex the smoke crosses into the units next door.
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.
