Our emergency cleaning and sanitation services in Elgin focus on swiftly removing soot, dust, and debris from your property.

We carefully inventory and pack out salvageable items affected by the fire, including furnishings and personal belongings. Depending on the extent of the damage, the available space, and the number of items, cleaning and restoration will take place either on-site at your Elgin property or at our secure off-site facility. This ensures each item receives the appropriate level of care and attention.
Fire often compromises the structural integrity of your Elgin home or business, particularly windows, walls, and the roof. Our board-up services provide immediate protection against weather, intruders, and further damage. We securely board up windows and cover damaged roof sections with heavy-duty tarps to safeguard your property until permanent repairs can be made.
Soot can be extremely difficult to remove from carpeting, often requiring specialized cleaning techniques. We assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. If the carpet is deemed unsalvageable, we will remove both the carpet and the underlying padding, preparing the area for new flooring.
A malfunctioning oil furnace can result in a puff-back, expelling soot and oily debris throughout your Elgin property. This sticky mess requires professional cleaning to remove effectively.
