- Asbestos Safety and Professional Referrals During fire damage restoration, the presence of asbestos can pose severe health risks. According to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), all commercial buildings must be tested for asbestos before any restoration work begins. While we do not perform asbestos testing ourselves, we will refer you to certified specialists who can handle testing and safe removal.
Importance of Asbestos Testing
Asbestos testing is crucial for several reasons:
- Health Risks: Disturbed asbestos fibers can become airborne and inhaled, leading to severe health issues.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures compliance with DHEC regulations, avoiding legal and financial repercussions.
- Safe Restoration: Guarantees that the restoration process is conducted safely, protecting workers and building occupants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
As soon as the fire department clears the building. Board-up, tarping, and soot control limit further weather and theft exposure. Smoke odor migrates into HVAC and soft goods quickly. Kingsley Water Damage & Fire Cleanup provides 24/7 commercial fire response in Columbia and Lexington—call 803-590-0370.
Stay out until the structure is deemed safe. If allowed, shut off utilities as directed, photograph damage for your claim, and do not wipe soot with household cleaners—that can grind residue deeper. Keep damaged materials until the adjuster advises. Notify your commercial carrier and request emergency mitigation.
Board-up and emergency cleaning often finish within hours to a day once crews are on site. Many commercial fire mitigation jobs then average about 3–7 days for soot cleaning, odor control, and drying of water used in suppression, depending on size and materials. Rebuild timelines are separate and follow once the structure is stable and dry.
Fire and smoke from a covered peril are commonly addressed under commercial property policies; coverage still depends on your policy language and cause. We document scope, photos, and affected materials and can work with your adjuster. Confirm coverage with your carrier—we do not invent claim outcomes.
Odor returns when soot remains in HVAC, insulation, or porous finishes. Proper work includes HEPA vacuuming, appropriate cleaning chemistry, duct attention when needed, and source removal—not masking sprays. After mitigation we verify odor control before recommending rebuild so Midlands tenants and customers are not met with lingering smoke smell.
Only when life-safety, air quality, and structural conditions allow. Soft demolition, soot cleaning, and drying may require temporary relocation of staff from affected zones. We coordinate phased access and containment so unaffected areas can reopen when safe while work continues elsewhere.
