Flood

Water damage can be caused by a number of things, including blocked drains, frozen or cracked water lines, sewer back ups or heavy rain. Whatever the extent of the damage, Titan is ready to help with an expert hand.

Safety always comes first. Our emergency water damage initial response involves an window of opportunity to salvage and dry any items that may have been affected or contaminated. The area must be treated as soon as possible to prevent further damage from contamination or microbial growth.

Here are some things you may want to consider if your property has experienced a flood or water damage:

  • Treat all items that have been affected by the flooded water as toxic until properly decontaminated
  • Avoid operating televisions, vacuums, or other appliances on or near your wet carpets or floors
  • Avoid the flooded area and keep children and pets away
  • Ventilate wet areas to accelerate the drying process
  • Allow your project manager to begin their process as soon as possible

HOW LONG WILL THE FLOOD RESTORATION PROCESS TAKE?

Based on the severity of the damage, the amount of time it will take to complete the restoration really depends on each project. We’ll work as fast as we can to restore your property, but we want to make sure everything is completely dry before beginning reconstruction. Once we have a clear idea of how long it may take, you’ll be the first to know.

CAN I STILL LIVE AT HOME DURING THE PROCESS?

Generally your home is safe as long as we can secure and sanitize the affected area and begin drying. However, each flood is different. If there is any cause for safety concern, we will let you know. Since drying is such an important process, we use industrial strength driers that, while very efficient, can be noisy and will be left on for several days.

WHAT ABOUT MY BELONGINGS?

Part of our restoration process includes listing all of the items that are permanently affected and will need to be replaced (your insurance company will call this a “Schedule of Loss”). If there are items that we can clean or repair, we’ll bring them back to our shop for restoration. If you need any of your items while we’re storing, drying or cleaning them, your project manager will put you in touch with our shop supervisor who can help you access anything you need.

Fire

Smoke gets into places you can’t even imagine.

Property damage due to fire tends to involve cleaning contents. Even the smallest fire produces not only flames but also smoke that can have far-reaching effects throughout the rest of your property. In many cases, there may also be water damage from extinguishing a fire. Don’t worry we’re ready for this!

Smoke reaches into everything – from furniture upholstery and clothing, to flooring and drywall. Our goal is to remove any hint that there was ever a fire, including the smell.

We’re extremely thorough and detailed with every item that could be affected.

Now, let’s walk through some of the specifics.

Building/Structure

DRY – Dry areas that are damp from extinguishing the fire
ELIMINATE – Remove all affected structural components and interior finishings (drywall, flooring, sub-floors)
CLEAN – Clean the structure with special chemicals and tools designed for smoke and fire damage
FILTER – Install HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing) filters to ensure air quality
SEAL – Apply “smoke seal” onto affected structural components
RECONSTRUCT – Follow our standard Scope, Estimation, Approval, Materials selection, and Construction process

Contents

RESTORE – Salvageable, affected property is brought back to Titan Construction for deodorization and restoration
DEODORIZE – Items are placed in our ozone room for several days, clothing is sent to a specialized dry cleaner, and furniture is sent to a refinishing specialist deodorize
LIST – Property that is not salvageable will be recorded and photographed for your “Schedule of Loss” to be submitted to your insurance company
STORE – Once contents are clean, Titan will pack and store them until your property restoration is complete

HOW LONG WILL THE RESTORATION TAKE? HOW LONG WILL I/WE GOING TO BE OUT OF THE PROPERTY?

There isn’t a simple answer to this question because it depends on the extent of the damage. We’ll do everything we can to get you back to your home or your place of business soon as possible, and we’ll keep you well informed.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP?

Although it’s often the natural instinct to help after a fire, our restoration specialists are experienced in taking every precaution to restore your property quickly and safely. A few things to consider are:

  • Keep children and pets away from the affected area
  • Avoid touching any surfaces that are affected by fire, smoke or residue
  • Gather your jewelry, personal and/or professional documents (passports, birth certificates, legal documents) and your most valuable personal effects to take with you while we complete the restoration process.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALL OF MY BELONGINGS? WHEN WILL I GET THEM BACK?

Smoke can affect everything, and depending on the extent of the damage, removing the odor may take some time. But if there is something you need, we can arrange for you to access the item.

Exterior

Vandalism, Break & Enter (B & E)

Our first priority in a B & E is to secure your property. If there is damage to a door or window, we’ll order a replacement and temporarily repair or seal the opening. We’ll also clean up debris and make the premises safe.

Did you know the majority of Break & Enters occur through the front door?

Vehicle Impact

With our extensive experience, we are prepared to quickly and professionally repair your property. If your home or business has been affected by a vehicle impact, we’ll secure the location, tape off and clean up the area, and then begin the estimation and restoration process.

Wind, Hail & Exterior Damage

Titan has seen first-hand damage that severe weather can cause. Your project manager will assess the damage to your property, make temporary repairs, and begin our estimation and reconstruction process.
