Fire Damage Restoration in Irving, TX

Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in Irving, TX

Fire damage to your home is one of the most traumatizing, frightening tragedies a person can experience. This is especially true in apartment buildings and multifamily homes, where dozens if not hundreds of families are affected by fire and smoke damage. When a fire rips through an apartment building, the property damage can be catastrophic. But the damage caused by fires doesn't end once the flames have been extinguished. Victims are left wondering what happens next now that their belongings are destroyed. When will they have a roof over their again?

In these circumstances, prompt, purpose-driven fire damage restoration is key to reducing victims' financial and emotional strain.

Fire Damage Restoration for Apartment Buildings in Irving, TX

Owners and managers of apartment complexes know that the safety of their tenants is a major responsibility. Unfortunately, nobody can completely control when apartment fires occur. Fires in apartments and multifamily buildings may start small, but they spread quickly, often destroying several living spaces. These frightening fires destroy prized heirlooms, important documents, and can even be fatal. However, the work is only beginning once the fire is put out and lives are saved.

In the aftermath of a disaster, figuring out the next steps is hard. During this difficult time, it's important to be prepared. As a property manager or owner, having a fire damage restoration company on your checklist of resources is crucial.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

It's imperative to have someone with knowledge and experience on your side during a fire crisis.

When you call ANS, our fire restoration experts can help walk you through the steps you need to take once a fire occurs. This allows us to quickly gain control of the restoration project on your behalf.

ANS repairs all property damage caused by soot, smoke, and fire. Our IICRC-certified fire restoration teams construct the best plan to quickly get your building back to its pre-loss condition.

Because every property is different, each fire restoration project for apartment buildings is too. However, every fire disaster will have a similar process and will often include:

Contact ANS

Your fire restoration process begins when you call our headquarters. Our specialist will ask you a series of questions about the fire event that occurred. That way, we can arrive on-site with the proper resources and equipment.

Fire Damage Assessment
and Inspection

Our fire damage restoration team will carefully inspect the entirety of your apartment complex, from building to building and room to room. We do so to determine the extent of your apartment's fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a comprehensive restoration plan.

Board-Up Services

First responders like firefighters must break windows and cut holes in roofs to slow fire growth and save lives. Once the fire is out, our team can get to work, boarding up holes and constructing temporary fencing around the property.

Water Removal

If there is water damage associated with your apartment fire, we'll remove most of the water immediately. From there, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to help complete the drying process.

Smoke and Soot Removal

Within minutes of a fire, walls, electronics, and other surfaces are covered in soot. Smoke and ash continue to cause damage to every inch of your apartment building. That's why ANS uses specialized equipment to remediate smoke damage and remove odors. This process is often labor-intensive and can take time, especially for large fire damage restoration needs.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Using a variety of restoration and cleaning techniques, our team will help clean restorable items and sanitize units for safety.

Restoration

Getting your apartment buildings to their pre-fire conditions is our ultimate goal. Depending on the size and scope of the fire restoration job, minor repairs like painting, drywall replacement, and new carpet installation might be needed. You might also need major structural renovations like re-siding, re-roofing, new window installation, floor replacement, and more.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

If you're a property manager or own multifamily residential buildings, the thought of an apartment fire is terrifying. What starts as a small fire can quickly turn into a catastrophic event, with your entire complex up in flames. However, one of the best ways of preventing these fires is to know more about them.

Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:

Turn Off Heat Sources

Data shows that a large number of apartment fires begin with cooking. Often, these fires are caused by the ignition of common items like rags, curtains, wallpapers, and bags. Encourage tenants to keep their kitchens and cooking areas clear of combustibles. Never leave a stove unattended for long, and don't leave burners on by themselves. Unintentional mishaps like leaving heat sources on are common causes of fires that can be prevented with a little forethought.

Electrical Safety

Like heat sources, electrical malfunctions are also common causes of fires in apartment complexes. It's hard to prevent all electrical malfunctions, but you can tell tenants to avoid bad habits. Tips include never using extension cords as permanent solutions and never using a cable if the third prong is missing.

Appliance Safety

Appliances are a part of everyone's lives. They're also standard equipment in most apartment units. But if tenants don't take proper precautions, these useful tools can spark deadly fires.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

No matter how large or small, fires are nightmare scenarios for entrepreneurs with commercial properties. Fire damage can completely ruin storefronts and offices, leaving charred remains and burned-up files before firefighters arrive. To make matters worse, soot and smoke damage ruin your businesses' furniture, HVAC system, carpet, walls, and windows.

To eliminate health hazards and restore your business to its pre-fire condition, you need to bring in a team of professionals with years of experience in fire damage remediation. At ANR, we use commercial-grade equipment and cutting-edge tools to clean up the aftermath of your fire and rebuild your property. That way, you can get back to running your business and providing for your family.

Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:

Remove Smoke and Fire Damage

One of the most common causes of large commercial loss stems from smoke and fire damage. Of course, these disasters cause injuries and fatalities. But they also generate tremendous amounts of damage, rot, mold, and harm to structures. Not to mention the devastation that fire damage has to the appearance and livability of the facility. Fire damage restoration companies restore - and also prevent - the root cause of the fire. Electrical outlets, wires, and other fire-prone items will all be addressed to prevent a subsequent disaster.

Highly Skilled

The best fire damage restoration professionals are highly-trained, exceptionally skilled, and properly equipped to deal with every aspect of a commercial fire. From handling major renovations to taking care of the lingering effects of smoke damage, pro fire restoration companies take care of it for you. Hiring ANR means you'll be working with technicians who have the knowledge, tools, and materials to get the job done right the first time.

Insurance Claims

When you start the claim process with your businesses' insurance company, they'll ask whether you've hired a fire damage restoration company. That's because companies like Atlas prevent further damage from occurring and calculate an estimate of your total loss. You can submit this estimate to your insurance company, which may then provide you with resources to complete your company's disaster recovery mt-md-1

Dallas-area band to help inaugurate largest Hindu temple in US

"There's a sense of pride that you're a small part of building this," said Akshar Patel, who has been to all three Akshardhams in the world.

IRVING, Texas — Rinkesh Desai and Akshar Patel of DFW will soon head to the northeast for a moment 13 years in the making. They will join the 50-person band from BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Irving to help inaugurate the largest Hindu temple outside of India.

The Akshardham in New Jersey is built on 183 acres and took the work of 12,500 volunteers from across the United States.

"To me it's a dream come true" said Rinkesh Desai, who will be visiting the temple for a fourth time.

"Our Guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj was the inspiration for building the Maha Mandir," said Desai.

The Maha Mandir translates to a great place for peace of mind. It is not just a building, it is an enormous complex with 13 shrines and more statues and carvings than you can count.

"There's a sense of pride that you're a small part of building this," said Akshar Patel, who has been to all three Akshardhams in the world.

"We've been fortunate to take part in all three of the openings," he said. The other two Maha Mandirs are in India.

No inauguration is complete without a band, and this Dallas-area Akshar Band represent BAPS is prepared to perform between 10 to 15 songs for the week long event.

"It's not about the size of the mandir. It's about the inspiration the mandir brings," said Desai.

Desai is excited for the immeasurable the new temple brings: the sacrifice, service, and the selflessness. He showed WFAA a piece of the marble he kept from the construction and saved for his son.

"To me it means quite a bit... this was a part of what we did and why we did it," he said.

The temple opens on Oct. 8. They say not just to the Hindu community but for all in search of peace.

IRVING (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Demand for skilled trades are at an all-time high. So much so, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says about 700,000 job openings are available each year.

Skilled laborer jobs are tough work and it takes a special person to do so, which is why the demand is so high in a growing area, like Dallas/Fort Worth.

"By 2028, they are expecting a 2.4 million person shortage in the business of skilled trades," said Fred Webster with the Tulsa Welding School of Dallas admissions office. "This market is blowing up, growing, expanding...So we are providing students with the skills, knowledge and attitude to be able to fill those positions."

The Tulsa Welding School just opened its newest branch in Irving. It offers programs like welding, electrical technology, refrigeration technology and electrical line work.

Zach Taylor is one of the instructors in charge of teaching line work and says it's an intense boot camp.

"It's a 15-week program, entry level," he said. "It gives them all the info they need to get in the door of this industry."

Taylor says all students need in order to join a program is a high school diploma and some work ethic and those are the same requirements over in the welding program.

It's why some students say it is a perfect fit.

"I am a hands-on learner; I can't sit in a classroom and read books," ," said welding student London Skipper. "It's definitely for people who love hard work and love to use their hands."

The school already has about 170 students and is still enrolling, all with the hope of offering North Texans a pathway to a lifelong career.

Officials say he admitted to accessing private patient information and submitting insurance claims to providers for COVID-19 testing that was never performed.

IRVING, Texas — Editor's note: The video published above is a WFAA interview with a medical expert after the CDC recommends a new COVID-19 booster vaccine.

An Irving man has pleaded guilty alongside three coconspirators as part of a $7 million COVID-19 testing fraud scheme, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.

The DOJ said Terrance Barnard, 40, was indicted in December 2022 for Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud, Aggravated Identity Theft and Aiding and Abetting Aggravated Identity Theft. Barnard pleaded guilty to those charges on Thursday.

Barnard, according to plea papers, admitted that he and his coconspirators accessed private patient information – including names, dates of birth, and insurance subscriber numbers – through various clinics where Barnard worked as a contract lab technician.

Barnard said that, on occasion, he took photographs of patient information and stored the images on “burner” phones. On other occasions, he and a coconspirator accessed the clinics’ confidential electronic medical records to obtain large amounts of patient information at once, DOJ officials said.

Barnard and his coconspirators then used the patient information to submit claims to insurance providers – including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana, and Molina Health Care – for COVID-19 testing that was never performed.

Barnard admitted that the “labs” at which the coconspirators claimed the testing occurred, including TC Diagnostics, ME Diagnostics, and PHR Diagnostics, were, in fact, shell entities that never operated as labs. All three entities submitted approximately $30 million in claims and were paid more than $7 million in reimbursements for fake testing, DOJ officials said.

According to the terms of his plea agreement, Barnard has agreed to a $7.29 million forfeiture money judgment and will forfeit a number of items seized during the investigation, including $2.5 million in funds from numerous bank accounts, two residences, six vehicles and six luxury watches.

Barnard's three coconspirators were identified as Connie Jo Clampitt, 52; William Paul Gray, 50; and Donn Hogg, 37. Clampitt, Hogg and Gray have each pled guilty and are scheduled to be sentenced in November 2023.

Barnard now faces up to seven years in federal prison.

North Texas’ biggest apartment builder — Irving-based JPI — is being purchased by a Japanese housing firm.

JPI, which this year is building over 4,000 Dallas-Fort Worth rental units, has agreed to a sale to a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sumitomo Forestry Co. Sumitomo Forestry is an international conglomerate of wood products and housing construction companies that already have significant holdings in North Texas.

The Japanese firm has previously partnered with JPI on developments. Sumitomo invested over $200 million in seven JPI rental communities over the last four years.

“Sumitomo’s consistent partnership and investment in JPI projects since 2019 is a testament to their confidence and faith in our vision,” JPI CEO Payton Mayes said in a statement. “This acquisition amplifies JPI’s influence in the housing sector and charts a definitive path for JPI’s sustained growth.”

Sale terms weren’t disclosed. Nikkei Asia reported the deal is valued at $215 million.

The transaction is scheduled to close before the end of the year.

JPI’s top officers plan to remain with the firm after the acquisition and will keep the headquarters in Irving. Mayes and CFO Mollie Fadule will hold minority interests in the company.

“This collaboration with JPI is a significant milestone in our continued commitment to fostering sustainable communities,” Sumitomo Forestry’s Atsushi Iwasaki said in a statement. “The shared values and vision between Sumitomo Forestry and JPI cement this partnership’s potential.

“We’re looking forward to a future filled with innovative, impactful communities across the income spectrum.”

Sumitomo Forestry entered the U.S. housing market in the early 2000s with single-family home construction in the Pacific Northwest. The Japanese company’s MainVue Homes later expanded to North Texas.

The firm builds more than 10,000 U.S. homes a year.

In 2016, Sumitomo Forestry Co. purchased Dallas homebuilder Gehan Homes. And in 2013, it purchased ownership in Bloomfield Homes L.P., one of D-FW’s top homebuilders.

Sumitomo in 2018 acquired North Carolina-based Crescent Communities LLC, which has built apartments and single-family homes in North Texas.

The affiliated Sumitomo Group has also invested in D-FW industrial properties.

Apartment builder JPI is a more than three-decade-old company that has built over 110,000 rental units in major markets around the country. The company has more than 280 employees. Outside of Texas, it has offices in San Diego and Irvine, Calif.

JPI earned $13 million in pretax profit on $423 million in revenue last year, according to Nikkei Asia. This year, the company was named the fastest-growing developer in the nation by the National Multifamily Housing Council. It is currently building over 9,700 apartment homes.

“This transaction will enable JPI to grow and deepen our impact on the housing sector,” Fadule said in a statement.

The JPI sale is the second such purchase this year of a major North Texas-based apartment builder.

In March, Lincoln Property Co.’s apartment building division sold to Canada-based Cadillac Fairview. Cadillac Fairview, which manages property investments for the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, previously had a 49% stake in Lincoln, a Dallas apartment builder that dates to the 1960s.

I also thank Wells Fargo and President and CEO Scharf for their continued investment in Texas and the great people of Irving. Working together, we are underwriting the Texas of tomorrow."

The Governor was joined at the groundbreaking by Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer, Wells Fargo President and CEO Charlie Scharf, Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Beth Bowman, and KDC Real Estate Development and Investments CEO Steve Van Amburgh. During the ceremony, Governor Abbott presented a proclamation to President and CEO Scharf commemorating the new facility and Wells Fargo's investment in the Irving community and the people of Texas.

Last October, Governor Abbott announced that Wells Fargo would create a new regional campus in Irving. The project will create 650 new jobs and $455 million in capital investment for the region. A Texas Enterprise Fund grant of just over $5 million has been extended to Wells Fargo.
