About Mitigation Companies

What is Mitigation?

Mitigation means reducing the severity of damage. After a fire or water loss, mitigation companies take early actions that prevent further harm to your home and belongings.

Common Services Provided by Mitigation Companies

• Contents Inventory – Photographing and documenting damaged items for insurance claims. Saves homeowners from spending days sorting through items.
• Packout, Storage & Pack-in – Removing, cleaning, storing, and returning household items before and after reconstruction. Many companies use ozone treatments to remove odors, bacteria, and fire residue.
• Dry Ice Blasting – A no-waste cleaning method using frozen CO₂ to remove smoke and fire residue from hard-to-reach areas like chimneys.
• Water Removal & Structure Drying – Moisture detection, water extraction, and prevention of mold growth through professional drying techniques.
• Deodorization – Special cleaning processes and equipment to neutralize odors. Severe odors may require removal of affected materials.
• Air Filtration & Dehumidification – Machines that move and dry the air while filtering dust and contaminants.
• Surface Cleaning – Immediate cleaning of smoke/soot-damaged surfaces like chrome, brass, or countertops to avoid corrosion and deeper damage.
