Water, Fire & Storm Restoration in Ellisville, MO

A corridor of shops and homes

Ellisville is a St. Louis County city on the west end of the Manchester Road corridor, with Clarkson Road crossing it near the center of town. Strip centers, restaurants, offices and service shops line the main roads, while residential streets run off behind them. From our office in St. Charles, expect a drive west along I-64 or I-70 to I-270 and onward, depending on traffic. The mix of small businesses and homes shapes the kinds of calls we take.

Kitchen fires and lingering smoke

Cooking is a common starting point for house fires, and even a contained flare-up on the stove can leave a film across the kitchen and a smell that drifts into every room. Smoke settles into painted walls, cabinet interiors, upholstery and clothing. Our fire and smoke service removes soot from surfaces and treats the odor at its source instead of covering it. Avoid wiping soot with a damp cloth, as that can smear it into the finish.

Saving what is inside

After a fire, the question is usually what can be kept. Our contents cleaning service handles clothing, linens, hard goods and keepsakes, sorting what responds to cleaning from what does not. Pack nothing away until you have talked with us, since sealing smoky items in bags can lock the odor in. Keep a list of anything discarded, along with photos, for your claim.

Hail and attic leaks

Spring hail leaves roofs looking fine from the street while hiding bruised shingles and cracked flashing. The first sign is often a brown ring on an upstairs ceiling after a heavy rain. By then the attic insulation may be saturated and the drywall underneath is soaked. Temporary covering of openings is a reasonable step to ask about, and we then address the storm damage, and our water damage service dries the ceiling and attic cavity. If you see a stain, do not poke it. Place a bucket and call us.

Small businesses along the corridor

Shop owners face a different set of worries: a dishwasher line failing in a restaurant, a roof drain overflowing on a strip center, smoke coming through the wall from the unit next door. Our commercial restoration work focuses on containing the loss, protecting inventory and keeping your own unit usable where it can be. Send along contact details for your landlord and insurer so the work can be coordinated.

Documentation and insurance

Photographs of the loss, receipts for emergency purchases and notes on what you saw help any claim. We can work with your insurer and bill them directly, and we share readings and photos on request. The insurance page explains more, and the process page walks through a project start to finish.

If a fire has been put out, open a window if the air is safe, keep the family out of the smoky rooms and leave soot-covered items where they are. Turn off the heating and cooling system so it does not push residue through the ducts. Take photographs of each room, then call us, and we will explain what to do next based on what you saw.
