Fire and smoke damage in Ballarat
After a fire, the first question is usually what can be saved. Smoke reaches further than the flames ever do, and soot settles on surfaces well away from the room where it started.
Our Fire & Smoke Restoration is carried out in line with IICRC S700, and our technicians hold IICRC certifications that include fire and smoke damage restoration at Master level. Air Quality Testing is on offer as well, for when the house still doesn’t smell right.
Water, damp and mould
Drying is carried out in line with IICRC S500, through Water Damage Restoration and Structural Drying. When the source isn’t obvious, Water Leak Detection is there to find it, and Dehumidifier Hire keeps a room drying between visits. Wet plaster and timber can look fine for a while before mould starts to show.
Mould is treated as a job of its own. We offer Mould Inspection & Testing and Mould Removal & Remediation, the second in line with IICRC S520, and sample testing goes through NATA-accredited laboratory partners.
Insurance claims, start to finish
We liaise with insurers on claims, and our 7-Day EOL (End-of-Loss) project life cycle is built to close the loss out end to end. You’ll get live onsite reporting, plus scopes and quotes, as the job moves along.
The targets we hold ourselves to are an initial report and a scope or quote within 24 hours, monitoring on alternate days, and a completion report within 24 to 48 hours.
Other work we take on
Some jobs need a quieter approach. Deceased Estate Clearing, Hoarding & Squalor Cleaning, and Trauma & Crime Scene Cleaning are all part of what we do across Wendouree, Sebastopol, Alfredton and Ballarat Central.
We also offer Meth Testing & Decontamination and Lead Paint Removal. Elite Restoration is a member of the Restoration Industry Association and the Facility Management Association of Australia, and it all sits under the Elite brand, operating since 1984.
