Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Mendota roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Mendota, CA fire claims get partially denied.
