Fire & Smoke

A fire can be devastating to an insured, ranging from a total loss of equipment to light smoke damage. After examining fire- or smoke-damaged equipment, you may be tempted to simply replace it, but DON'T.

It costs $200 - $300 to clean the average computer, and up to $4000 to replace it. And unless the item is actually melted, there is a good chance that it can be cleaned and repaired by our on-site restoration unit and put back into service for just a fraction of the cost of replacing it. We recently saved a major insurance carrier over $60,000 by restoring 36 Dell computer systems and network equipment at a school after a fire.

But, of course, if the equipment did actually melt or is beyond repair, we can tell you what the correct replacement is. This is often different then what the insured or their vendor says.

Either way, your liability is only a fraction of the replacement cost!
