Four Regional Operations Command HQs

Our centralized dispatch infrastructure operates through four regional command operations hubs coordinating on-call independent restoration contractors across 17,800+ municipalities:

What to Expect When You Contact Our Team

We respect the emotional gravity and urgency of a property fire. When you call our emergency hotline at (833) 754-0151 or submit our online assessment form, your request is handled through a structured, professional workflow:

• Immediate 60-Second Phone Intake: Our dispatch line connects you with an on-call coordinator who gathers essential diagnostic information regarding your property type, damage severity (Class 1 surface smoke to Class 4 structural rebuild), and active hazards.
• Rapid Local Unit Mobilization: Your inquiry is dispatched to a licensed independent restoration contractor serving your immediate municipality, ensuring emergency arrival within 60 minutes.
• Comprehensive On-Site Inspection: A certified restoration project manager conducts a thorough evaluation using infrared thermal imaging to locate hidden water pockets, swab testing to identify soot chemistry, and laser levels to inspect structural framing integrity.
• Transparent Insurance Claim Management: You receive an itemized Xactimate proposal that is submitted directly to your property insurance carrier, eliminating out-of-pocket costs beyond your deductible.

Emergency Response Escalation and Safety Guidelines

While awaiting emergency crew arrival on-site, property owners must observe strict structural and respiratory safety protocols to avoid acute health hazards and prevent accidental spoliation of insurance evidence:

• Never Enter a Red-Tagged Structure: If municipal fire marshals or building inspectors have designated the structure unsafe, do not attempt to re-enter to retrieve personal belongings until certified restoration crews install temporary shoring and load-bearing jacks.
• Shut Down Main Utilities: If safely accessible from an exterior disconnect, ensure gas lines, municipal water mains, and electrical breakers are turned off to eliminate secondary electrocution and gas explosion hazards.
• Avoid Operating HVAC Air Systems: Running central forced-air furnaces or air conditioning units circulates microscopic soot particles throughout unaffected rooms, compounding air duct decontamination costs.
• Preserve Uncleaned Soot Evidence: Do not wipe soot-covered drywall, porcelain tubs, or wood furniture with off-the-shelf household cleansers, as acidic soot can permanently smear and chemical reactions may invalidate insurance line items.
