Crannie Construction works alongside homeowners and insurance adjusters throughout the claims process. We document the damage, coordinate with your insurer, and keep the project on track so you can focus on your family.
Mold Prevention After Fire or Water Damage
Mold can start growing within 24–48 hours after water exposure. It is a serious risk after both fires and floods.
Our team focuses on mold prevention after fire and water events by removing moisture early. This reduces the need for costly mold remediation Genesee homeowners often face later.
We prevent mold by:
- Removing wet materials quickly
- Using professional drying equipment
- Checking hidden spaces like wall cavities
- Monitoring moisture levels before rebuilding
The sooner the structure is properly dried, the less likely you are to deal with mold growth, material damage, and more expensive repairs later on.
Our Fire and Water Damage Repair Process
Every job follows a consistent sequence; not because it's a formula, but because skipping steps causes bigger problems down the road.
24/7 Emergency Response & Assessment
When you call, the first priority is safety and an accurate read on the damage. We identify what is at immediate risk, explain what we are seeing, and outline what needs to happen next.
A thorough assessment at the start keeps the repair process on track and helps prevent additional damage from developing while you wait.
Water Extraction, Structural Drying, & Mold Prevention
Standing water is the obvious problem, while hidden moisture is the one that causes trouble later. Whether a pipe burst, a basement flooded, or firefighting efforts soaked the walls, water removal needs to start right away.
We coordinate water extraction, structural drying, and moisture monitoring to reduce the risk of mold taking hold. Drying plans account for the specific materials and construction of each home, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Fire Damage Cleanup: Soot, Smoke, & Odor Removal
Fire and smoke damage spreads well beyond where the flames were. Soot settles inside wall cavities, and odors work their way into framing and insulation.
Fire damage cleanup means removing damaged materials, addressing the sources of odor, and getting the structure ready for repair work. This step has to be done right before any rebuild begins as cutting corners here shows up later.
Contents Restoration & Full Rebuild
When items in the home have been affected by fire and smoke damage or water, we help coordinate contents handling and review restoration options for what can be recovered. When structural areas need to be rebuilt, we manage the restoration work from start to finish using our construction management process.
More detail on how rebuilds are handled is available on our
construction management services page.
Handling Insurance Claims for Damage Restoration Projects
Direct Billing with Your Insurance Company
Fire and water damage restoration almost always involves an insurance claim. We work directly with insurance providers when applicable, which cuts down on the back-and-forth that homeowners often have to manage themselves during an already stressful time. Having one point of contact who understands both the construction work and the documentation required makes the process more manageable.
Documentation & Claim Support
Good records matter throughout any damage restoration project. We help document the extent of damage and the scope of repairs in a format that keeps the claim process organized. Clear documentation up front prevents delays and gives everyone involved, including the homeowner, the contractor, and the insurance carrier. This provides a reliable reference point as work progresses. Knowing that side of things is handled gives homeowners peace of mind to focus on getting their home back in order.
Rebuild After Damage
Once cleanup is done and approvals are in place, we manage the rebuild. The goal is to restore the home correctly, not just quickly. Thorough restoration work at this stage protects your property from problems that surface months later, like incomplete drying, missed structural repairs, or code issues. We keep communication steady throughout the restoration service so you know where things stand at each stage.
