Emergency interventions after fire
Recon Damage employs project managers who, apart from professional technical experience, are also trained in insurance techniques and claims management and are therefore able to think along with you as the injured party and with the insurers. Recon Damage provides the most complete solution in terms of restoration and repair for projects large and small. When your home is damaged, we understand how important it is to act quickly and efficiently.
Our process consists of three crucial steps:
Damage control: We take immediate action to prevent further damage.
Decontamination: We then clean all affected areas thoroughly.
Restoration: Finally, we restore your home to its original or even better state.
Damage limitation
As soon as we arrive on site, we immediately take measures to prevent further damage. One of the first steps is the temporary sealing of roofs, window and door openings to prevent the elements from aggravating the damage. We pump out basements quickly and efficiently to minimise water damage. We also carry out various protection and security tasks to safeguard your property.
Storing your contents safely is also an important step in our process. We provide professional storage solutions to ensure that your belongings remain protected during the recovery process. To address moisture problems, we use advanced drying and ventilation techniques that help restore a healthy indoor environment.
In cases where data carriers have been compromised, we provide data recovery services to salvage crucial information. Furthermore, we carry out extensive measurements and laboratory analyses to get a full picture of the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.
Consisting of electricians, plumbers and heating technicians, our intervention teams are ready to take immediate action as and where necessary. Their quick and expert response helps bring the situation under control and prevent further damage.
This comprehensive and coordinated approach enables us to ensure that damage is kept to a minimum, so that we can move quickly to the next phase of decontamination and restoration.
Immediate actions for damage control
Upon arrival, we immediately take measures to prevent further damage. Roofs, windows, and doors are temporarily sealed to keep weather conditions out. We also pump out basements to limit water damage and implement security measures to protect your belongings.
Storage and protection of household contents
Your valuable belongings are stored safely. Using advanced drying and ventilation techniques, we prevent moisture problems and restore a healthy indoor climate.
Assessment and data recovery
Damaged data carriers are restored using professional data recovery services. We also perform measurements and laboratory analyses to accurately assess the damage.
Fire damage decontamination
A deep cleaning after fire damage is crucial for the health of your home and your family. Our specialized techniques remove soot and smoke residues, neutralize odors, and limit the spread of harmful substances.
Removal of soot and smoke damage
We clean all affected surfaces using specialized techniques to completely remove soot and smoke damage. This ensures a safe and clean environment.
Deodorization and stabilization of harmful substances
To make your property comfortable and healthy again, we perform deodorization that eliminates all unpleasant odors. At the same time, we stabilize loose particles and prevent harmful substances from spreading further.
Restoration of electronics and textiles
Devices are cleaned and restored so they become safe and functional again. We also offer specialized textile cleaning for clothing, curtains, carpets, and more.
Fire damage restoration
After cleaning and decontamination, the final step begins: restoring your property. Our goal is not only to repair your building but, where possible, to improve it.
Structural works and roof repair
We restore and strengthen the structural integrity of your property. Our teams carry out roof carpentry and roofing works so that your roof becomes fully functional and watertight again.
Interior and exterior carpentry
Carpentry for windows, doors, and other elements is carried out with precision, matching the style and functionality of your property.
Technical installations and finishing
Electrical, plumbing, and heating systems are restored safely and efficiently. Plastering work ensures that walls and ceilings are ready for the finishing stage.
A complete remediation includes the following steps:
- Demolition, dismantling, and removal of all burned structural elements
- Removal of burned contents and household belongings
- Items that can be saved technically and economically are cleaned and recovered
- Cleaning and degreasing of the building and its contents
- Fixing / sealing heavily soot-contaminated surfaces
- Neutralizing odors and harmful substances
- Ventilation and disinfection of the spaces
The price depends on the severity of the damage, the size of the property, and the techniques required. We always provide a customized quote after a damage inspection.
