Fast-Track
Property Stabilization

In the aftermath of a catastrophe first and foremost,
stablization must be achieved. Fast-Track Property
Stabilization creates order out of chaos by stabilizing
the condition of the property and the environment. This
in turn prevents further deterioration or the situation.
American Catastrophe utilizes fast-track property
stablization to
enable the
property owner,
risk manager,
insurance adjuster,
and restoration
company to make
sound decisions
regarding the
proper
cost-effective
course of action.

Emergency Water Treatment Methods
Where there's fire, you'll usually find extensive water
damage. The huge amounts of water required to
extinguish fires is often absorbed into the structure
and the building's contents. The resulting high humidity
and toxins from charred materials, create an unhealthy
atmosphere that is conductive to the spread of mold,
mildew, and bacteria

Emergency Dehumidification
Immediate air circulation techniques [desiccant (dry
air) and refrigerant dehumidifiers, commercial air
movers, air conditioning and/or heaters] are required
to help dry the structure. A power source, either a
portable generator or re-established electrical power,
must be utilized to operate the equipment.

Emergency Security Measures
Damaged Property may require board-up services to
protect against the elements, vandalism, and the
possible personal injury or onlookers. First, all debris
is removed from the premises. If the heat source has
been interrupted, the plumbing is drained during
winter months to prevent pipes from freezing.
Anti-freeze is also added to the toilets so that
trapped water does not freeze, breaking the fixtures.

Air Handling Systems
Once the structure is thoroughly dried, the air handling
system should undergo a thorough cleaning to avoid
further spread of soot, mold, or mildew. The property
should then be ozone treated to eliminate odor and
kill mildew.

Because disaster can happen anytime, American
Catastrophe's expert crews are ready for any
emergency, 24-hours a day.
