Complete Disaster Recovery and Restoration Services

> Complete Reconstruction

Reconstruction after fire and water damage is more complex than original construction
and BELFOR’s expertise is virtually unmatched. BELFOR project managers deftly balance the shortest length interruption with proper reconstruction techniques, working with specialty trades, engineers and architects to ensure your property maintains its value.
BELFOR provides:

• Full scale carpentry
• Electrical, mechanical and plumbing
• Exterior envelope reconstruction
• Construction defect reconstruction
• All roofing configurations
• Interior build out and finishes
• High-rise reconstruction
• Historic reconstruction
• Machinery/factory line implementation

> Emergency Power

After suffering loss of power due to fire, water, storm or other damage, BELFOR's quick-response power capability allows you to resume operations and enables us to begin recovery. Our priority national service agreement with Aggreko, one of the country’s leaders in auxiliary power supply, provides us with as much equipment and manpower as you need.

> Board-Up, Tarping, Shrink-Wrap

When your spaces or structures have been damaged by fire, water, storm or other causes, securing them from the elements is critical. While board-up may seem simple, we ensure this important step is performed quickly and correctly to prevent further, and potentially permanent, damage to your property. And BELFOR's exclusive “shrink-wrap” process provides the durable "long-term, temporary" weather-proofing solution that out-performs traditional tarp and board-up methods.

> Structural Containment

Fire, water or other damage apparent to the naked eye is not always the extent of the damage in an emergency situation. That’s why BELFOR brings in technical experts such as engineers and architects to evaluate structural integrity, and industrial hygienists to ensure proper air quality. Oftentimes, incremental repairs must be made, and barriers erected, to secure the site before larger restoration work can proceed. In all of our efforts, safety is a BELFOR priority.

> Selective Demolition

Our trained experts move quickly after fire, water and mold damage has occured, to determine a selective demolition process, to remove sources of contamination and help stabilize the site. We remove only what is damaging structural integrity and impeding restoration efficiency. BELFOR’s experience with the insurance industry helps us to determine the best demolition path to achieve our ultimate goal of restoring the value of your property.

> Rapid Water Extraction

Whether it’s a natural disaster or fire, water damage is usually a component of an emergency services situation. Damage to drywall from large amounts of standing water can be fairly obvious. However, water most often finds hidden, void spaces and can lead to the onset of mold. Using the most advanced moisture detection instruments, BELFOR finds hidden and embedded moisture. Our water extraction capacity is among the best in the world.

> Drying and Dehumidification

When it comes to drying, time is critical and environmental control can prove to be the primary difference in preventing further damage. Through BELFOR's exclusive partnership with Aggreko, a worldwide leader in the production of desiccant dehumidification equipment, we are able to respond faster to provide the solutions you need. Our cost-effective, advanced drying strategies and thorough moisture testing will help save your structure and contents from the destructive effects of water damage.

> Corrosion Control

Smoke, soot, acid, water and other potential sources of contamination and corrosion have a direct and indirect impact on structure, contents, work in process and essential business functions. By using stabilization techniques, we keep equipment from becoming impaired and reduce the amount of restoration and longterm costs to you. BELFOR’s experience and response mitigate potentially damaging effects and pave the way for a smoother cleaning, decontamination and restoration process.

> Cleaning and Decontamination

BELFOR's specialized cleaning and decontamination toolkit includes proprietary products and services including a wide range of patented, environmentally-safe degreasers, solvents, surfactants, and anti-microbials, as well as unique ways of reversing the effects of contamination on materials and surface finishes. We provide effective cleaning and decontamination services to hospitals, clean rooms, businesses, homes and much more.

> Sewage Clean-Up

Sewage backups cause property damage, present unpleasant odor problems, and create unhealthy living conditions. BELFOR trained technicians extract standing wastewater and remove and dispose of all contaminated debris. After thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting, BELFOR restores the affected area to a dry and healthy condition for you.

> Smoke, Soot, Odor Removal

Smoke and soot removal procedures are very specific to the type of smoke as well as the item or area being cleaned and both soot and smoke can travel through hidden pathways. The best way to guarantee odor elimination is source removal. BELFOR employs several smoke and soot removal techniques including dry sponging, media blasting, pressurized ozone chambers and other proven methods using environmentally safe products.

> Mold Removal and Remediation

BELFOR offers comprehensive mold remediation services. Our mold team has vast experience in the treatment of water and mold and all personnel undergo rigorous hands-on and classroom training on mold removal. Our thorough assessment methods and strategic response allows us to take a reasonable approach to the remediation of mold in various circumstances.

> Duct Cleaning

Through DUCTZ, our air duct restoration and cleaning divison, BELFOR provides duct-cleaning as part of a restoration response or as a stand-alone service to clean and decontaminate your ducts. Service technicians provide comprehensive services to enhance indoor air quality, improve overall air circulation, and eliminate built-up dirt and contaminants.

> Garment and Textile Restoration

Working with our textile cleaning partners, BELFOR uses computerized inventory, handling, packing and recording sytems for water and smoke damaged garments and textiles. Using up-to-date wet, dry and ozone processes, clothing, leather goods, linens, rugs, stuffed animals, and more are restored. Contents are kept at our secure storage facility and when restoration of your property is complete, BELFOR delivers the cleaned items to you.

> Contents Restoration and Storage

BELFOR has successfully restored smoke and water damaged contents and inventory to their pre-loss condition for homeowners, schools, hotels, hospitals, museums, banks, retailers, industrial warehouses and more, providing complete restoration, packout, storage, relocation, and inventory services. We restore items such as: hard-good furnishings; soft-good furnishings; clothing; electronics; machinery; office equipment; vital records and documents; inventories; raw materials; antiques and art; and much more.

> Vitals Records/Documents Recovery

BELFOR is at the forefront of vital document recovery through research, development, and proprietary processes and equipment. Whether standard or more complex remediation is required, we deliver the appropriate solution. Using computerized inventory, handling, packing and recording, we ensure items are returned in the same order as received. You can entrust any vital records to BELFOR including: audio tapes; blueprints; books; CDs; DVDs; data files; documents; film; library materials; magazines; magnetic media; manuscripts; maps; microfilm; negatives; parchment; photographs; video tapes; x-rays; and more.

> Mobile Freeze-Drying Units

Mobile Thermal Vacuum Freeze Drying Units are unique to BELFOR and are the largest specialist document drying units in the world. Capable of freezing to -51º, units can reduce document moisture content to its original state and are considered the most effective method of removing moisture from paper materials. Transported to the loss location, these Freeze Drying Units provide a superior solution for large loss events as well as for high-value materials that need to be secured on-site.

> Mobile Catastrophe Units

Our full-service, 53-foot mobile warehouses are strategically positioned so BELFOR can quickly and effectively service the New England region in the event of a large fire, water, or storm damage event. Having a mobile warehouse on-site saves valuable time and money as they are fully equipped with enough air movers, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, generators, extractors, chemicals, consumables, and more to quickly mobilize a significant response to a major event.

> Electronic/Machinery Restoration

BELFOR’s vast research, development and hands-on recovery experience in electronics and machinery restoration allows us to provide total solutions for items as diverse as desktop computers and servers to medical equipment damaged by a water or fire event. And when machinery requires repair or remanufacture in addition to decontamination procedures, BELFOR's Machinery Services completes total restoration and proper reinstatement.

> Environmental Services

BELFOR Environmental Services provides immediate response for emergency spills and site remediation, as well as non-emergency remediation for hazardous materials, chemical spills, lead paint and asbestos. Our environmental team brings an average of 15 years experience in environmental services and handles 1600 projects on average every year.

> Trauma Scene Clean Up

BELFOR's technicians are trained and certified to assist with trauma-related cleanup of crime, accident, and death scenes, including blood and bodily fluids, decomposition, suicide and more.
