Who We Are

A Licensed Selma Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

We opened in the Selma area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Local experience in 36703 36701 36702 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Selma's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

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

Licensed & Insured

Full coverage on every job we run in Selma, AL.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

Adjuster-Ready Files

Documentation built to match what Selma, AL carriers expect.

We also keep a running photo log for every Selma 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

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Selma Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

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

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

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

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

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

A Claim Filing Deadline

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

None of these six signs get better with time. The Selma properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Selma

Emergency Mitigation

First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Selma homes.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Selma jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Selma permitting.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
