A structure fire changes a Gardiner property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Gardiner roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Working the 04345 04359 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Gardiner code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Gardiner, ME insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
