Who We Are

Meet The Team Handling Fire Damage Removal Across Cricket

Every technician on our Cricket roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Because our crews work 28659 regularly, they already understand which Cricket permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

Homeowners, landlords, and Cricket, NC adjusters trust our paperwork because it's consistent: photo logs, moisture readings, and a written scope on every single Cricket job.

I

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

II

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Cricket line, any hour.

III

IV

Adjuster-Ready Files

Documentation built to match what Cricket, NC carriers expect.

We also keep a running photo log for every Cricket job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Cricket Homeowners Tend To Ignore

01

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

02

Soot Around Vents

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

03

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

04

Pitting On Metal Hardware

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

05

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

06

A Claim Filing Deadline

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

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

What Cricket Customers Actually Get With Fire Damage Removal

A

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

B

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

C

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

D

Structural Rebuild

We rebuild to Cricket, NC code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.

E

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

F

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
