Fire Damage Cleanup in Riverbank, CA

Fire Damage Cleanup · Riverbank, CA

We Clear Burned Structures and Haul the Debris

Fire damage cleanup is the work that starts after the fire is out. We are a family company in business since 1967, and we cover Modesto, Stockton, Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Some buildings need a full teardown. Others need one burned section cut out while the rest of the house stands. We look at what is left, then quote the teardown and the hauling. Fire debris removal ends with the lot cleared and ready for your rebuild contractor.

  • Asbestos abatement crews, CAL OSHA #507

What Happens After the Fire Is Out

Once the fire is out, someone has to decide what stays and what comes down. Burned framing can look solid and be gone inside. We read the structure from the outside before anyone steps in. That read sets the plan for the teardown.

Burned house demolition means the whole structure comes down at once. That work runs like our house demolition jobs, with an excavator and haul trucks. A kitchen or garage fire is a smaller job. We cut out the burned section and leave the sound framing standing.

Burned Buildings Are Hazardous Material Work

Fire does not destroy asbestos or lead. It breaks them up and spreads them through the ash. Older homes hold asbestos in floor tile and pipe wrap, and paint from before 1978 can carry lead. Ash gets wetted down instead of swept or blown.

California has rules for how burned debris is handled and where it can go. A certified asbestos consultant surveys the building, and we handle the removal under our asbestos removal and abatement scope. Crews taking out more than 100 square feet of asbestos must register with Cal OSHA. We carry CAL OSHA #507 and CSLB #247684.

Who We Work For and Where We Go

Homeowners call us after a house fire. Property owners and insurers' contractors call us on commercial buildings and rentals. We give you weight tickets and disposal records from the facilities that take the loads. Those go in the claim file with your other paperwork.

House fires happen year round in the Central Valley, and wildfire debris comes with the foothill and coast jobs. We cover Modesto and Stockton in the Valley, and run west for fire-damaged buildings in Oakland and Fremont. On the Bay side we reach San Jose, San Francisco, Santa Clara and the Peninsula. That same run covers fire cleanup in Santa Cruz on the coast.

FAQ

Fire Damage Cleanup Questions, Answered

Common questions about fire damage cleanup across the Central Valley, the Bay Area and Sacramento. If yours is not here, call and ask. The person who answers runs the jobs.

Call (209) 652-9206

How soon can you start after a fire?
Call (209) 652-9206 once the fire department releases the property. We can look at the structure while the insurance side is still working. Air districts want notice before a demolition, which sets part of the schedule. There is an emergency notice path when a building is unsafe to leave standing.
Do you handle the asbestos in a burned house?
Yes. A certified asbestos consultant surveys the building first, and we take the asbestos out. Our crews are registered with Cal OSHA under CAL OSHA #507. The abatement finishes before the structure comes down.
Do you rebuild after the cleanup?
No. Our work covers the teardown and the hauling of the debris. We leave the lot clear so your rebuild contractor can start. Ask for the disposal records when we hand the site back.
Can you give me paperwork for my insurance claim?
Yes. We pass along weight tickets and disposal records from the facilities that take the loads. Those documents go in your claim file. Your adjuster tells you what the policy covers.
Our building has smoke damage but did not burn. What can you do?
We handle smoke damaged structure teardown and debris removal. Cleaning smoke and odor out of a building that stays up is a restoration trade. If the plan is to take the structure down, that part is ours.
