Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in Lavon, 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 Lavon, 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

Many people across North Texas are cleaning up after storms rocked their communities Thursday night.

The city of Lavon in Collin County was hit hard with 80 mph winds.

Rose Farmer heard the hurricane-force winds whistling through her front door.

“It was really swirling. It was exciting but scary,” she told NBC 5.

Outside the Lavon home she shares with partner Joe Bellows was more chaos.

"I could hear a boom boom on the metal building. I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s trying to pick up the carport."

The latest news from around North Texas.

The storm’s winds peeled off the entire side of their 30-foot shop. Garage doors were bent or pulled off completely. However, many items on the shelves stayed put, which has the couple questioning the origin of the wind.

"The wind started picking up and I mean, it came in fast and hard. Like 80 mph winds. It was so fast,” Farmer said. "I've seen tornadoes. I know to respect them."

An internet tower on their property that services Lavon also came down.

Thankfully, insurance will cover all of the damages.

"I was born and bred here, I know what the storms do,” said Bellows.

Thursday night's severe weather took down trees and damaged roofs and tossed debris around the city. The drive-thru of the Independent Financial Bank collapsed from the winds and remains closed while repairs are being made.

“We have several trampolines that are not where they're supposed to be, they've been blown everywhere,” said Danny Anthony, fire chief of Lavon Fire Department.

Sam Oliyide’s roof was damaged to the point that water leaked into his home. It was a long night for his family.

“It sounded like a car was going to hundred 300 mph. The noise was too much,” he said.

The Lavon Fire Department, which has a couple of dozen people in the department, has been all hands on deck.

"We've had a couple of houses where holes were blown in the roof and they had a ceiling collapse inside their house and things like that. It was just trying to get to everything that we had,” Anthony said. “Our storage building off Highway 205, it completely took its roof off. Both sides of it, just wiped it out.”

Texas Sky Ranger captured more damage near Sulphur Springs in Hopkins County, just northeast of Dallas, where a building was destroyed.

In nearby Como Pickton ISD, all athletic events are canceled after several buildings were damaged.

More damage was reported in Canton, where crews spent the day fixing downed powerlines and cleaning up scattered debris. The National Weather Service is investigating the storm reports and has so far confirmed winds of up to 85 mph in Canton.

In Denton County, residents in the Sanger area experienced monster hail the size of a tennis ball to a grapefruit.

No major injuries have been reported in any of the storms.

"It's not a good thing but it can be fixed. It can be fixed,” said Farmer.

New 1,000-home community planned on 540 acres north of Rockwall

Provident Realty Advisors is planning a big master-planned community with about 1,000 single-family homes on 540 acres north of Rockwall.The Dallas-based office of Trez Capital provided a $24 million loan to Provident to develop 281 single-family lots in phase one of the community, called "Hillstead."Upon completion, Hillstead, in Lav...

Provident Realty Advisors is planning a big master-planned community with about 1,000 single-family homes on 540 acres north of Rockwall.

The Dallas-based office of Trez Capital provided a $24 million loan to Provident to develop 281 single-family lots in phase one of the community, called "Hillstead."

Upon completion, Hillstead, in Lavon, will have roughly 1,000 single-family homes, according to a news release from Vancouver-based Trez Capital. Lot sizes in Hillstead will range from 40 to 70 feet.

The phase one lots are expected to be delivered in late spring/early summer of 2024.

Hillstead’s builder lineup includes Perry Homes, Drees Homes, Highland Homes and American Legend Homes.

This deal marks Trez Capital’s fifth financing to Dallas-based Provident.

“Provident Realty Advisors is thrilled to team yet again with Trez Capital as one of our capital partners in the land development space,” Rylan Yowell, the managing director of Master-planned Communities at Provident, said in a prepared statement. “In this tough lending environment, we’re pleased that Trez Capital understood the potential of this tract of land with its strong schools and proximity to Rockwall.”

Funding for developments like this — and almost all real estate projects — is getting much harder to come by, John Hutchinson, the newly named co-CEO of Trez Capital told the Dallas Business Journal in a recent interview. Hutchinson is based in Trez’s Dallas office.

While the bank lending crunch is making loans for lot development and homebuilders difficult to pencil, homebuyer demand remains strong, Hutchinson said.

“Home sales are very good here in Texas,” he said. “Builders are selling homes. They're buying down mortgages in many cases for their homebuyers who want to get into the homes with a lower interest rate. But we have a shortage of housing in Texas, which is, I think, getting worse instead of better since housing construction slowed down.”

Hillstead complements the “lake life,” sitting in between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard, providing residents with amenities catered to recreational living, Yowell said. The community will offer a variety of outdoor and indoor activities including a clubhouse, a pool, hiking and biking trails, pocket parks and scenic lookouts.

The property for Hillstead is located just off Highway 205 in the Wylie Independent School District.

The master-planned community will provide easy access to job centers via I-30 to the south and highway 78 to the north, and close to shopping in Rockwall, said Grant Morrow, vice president of origination for Trez Capital, Central & Southwestern.

“The Dallas-Fort Worth area continues to be a popular area due to inbound migration and a strong economy,” Morrow said. "There continues to be a shortage of single-family homes with demand outpacing supply in the region, with no signs of slowing down for the next few years, so we are pleased to provide financing for this new master-planned development that will help meet the need for more single-family homes.”

Lavon and the Rockwall area provide “a vibrant, small-town feel for those families who want a quieter atmosphere but also need convenient access to Dallas,” Morrow added. “This development will offer just that.”

Provident, a privately held real estate and investment firm, has developed or invested in more than $5.5 billion worth of real estate projects across the country since its formation in 1991.

Trez Capital, founded in 1997, is a diversified real estate investment firm and provider of commercial real estate debt and equity financing in Canada and the United States. The Dallas office has funded more than $6.2 billion in loans.

LAVON, Texas - Staff members and students at NeSmith Elementary in the Collin County city of Lavon were taken to the hospital after a gas leak near campus.

Superintendent Tonya Knowlton says a construction crew working on a building addition hit a gas line.

Lavon Fire Department responded, and the leak was contained within 15 minutes. No gas readings were found in the school by firefighters or Atmos, according to the city manager.

In a letter to parents, the superintendent says the district "failed to update an increase in symptom reports."

School continued after people became sick, but now school will be closed for the rest of the week to allow for a full inspection.

"Atmos actually did two sweeps of the building checking air quality. Found no indication of gas inside the building," Knowlton said.

Later, however, some staff members and students experienced headaches and nausea.

Parents were notified that they could pick their kids up early, but they were not required to. The school and buses maintained normal operating hours.

"It was a little alarming," Knowlton said. "We wanted to make sure we were you know addressing everyone who was having symptoms."

FOX 4 observed Atmos and construction crews examining the scene early Wednesday evening. The district is hopeful that Thursday’s schedule will be normal.

Nine staff members requested to be transported to the hospital.

SKY 4 spotted multiple ambulances outside the school.

The district says two students also reported feeling effects from the gas leak and were taken to the hospital.

Parents were told they could pick their students up early if they wanted to, but it was not required.

Featured

Five children and their mother are in the hospital because of carbon monoxide from a car running in their garage. But firefighters said it could have been much worse if one child hadn't reacted the way she did.

The district has not provided specific health updates on the 11 people who went to the hospital. It did say at least four people have been released.

Community ISD says Atmos Energy and the Lavon Fire Department tested multiple sites inside the school and did not detect any gas inside the campus.

Lone Star Healthy Streams program set February 7 in Farmersville

A Lone Star Healthy Streams workshop will be held on Feb. 7 at Collin College Farmersville Campus, 501 S. Collin Parkway, Farmersville.

The workshop is a joint effort of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, North Texas Municipal Water District, NTMWD, and Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board.

The free workshop will run from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Coffee, snacks and lunch are provided. Preregistration is required at https://tx.ag/LSHSFeb7LavonLake.

Four Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education credits for pesticide applicators are available in the integrated pest management and laws and regulations categories.

The program will focus on the Lavon Lake watershed and discuss basic watershed function, water quality and specific best management practices.

“The goal of the Lone Star Healthy Streams program is to protect Texas waterways from bacterial contamination originating from livestock, wildlife and invasive species that may pose a serious health risk to Texans,” said Leanne Wiley, AgriLife Extension program specialist and Lone Star Healthy Streams coordinator, Bryan-College Station.

“The aim is to increase awareness, provide educational materials to Texas livestock producers and landowners, and encourage implementation,” Wiley said.

The event includes information on voluntary conservation practices along with sources for technical and financial assistance designed to reduce pollutants such as fecal bacteria in waterways.

“Lavon Lake supplies drinking water for over 2 million people in North Texas,” said David Cowan, watershed manager for the North Texas Municipal Water District. “It also provides wildlife habitat, recreation and flood control. So, it is an extremely important water resource for the region.”

He said routine water quality monitoring in Wilson Creek and the East Fork of the Trinity River upstream of Lavon Lake indicate elevated levels of bacteria.

“In order to address these issues, NTMWD and AgriLife Extension worked in partnership with local stakeholders to develop a non-regulatory watershed protection plan for Lavon Lake,” Cowan said. “The plan identifies potential sources of pollution in the watershed and strategies for protecting and improving water quality. More information on this project will be presented at the workshop.”

Funding for this effort is provided through a Clean Water Act Section 319 nonpoint source grant administered by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

For more information on the workshop, contact Wiley at 979-240-8407 or leanne.wiley@ag.tamu.edu; Cowan at 469-626-4416 or dcowan@NTMWD.com; or Chase Brooke, AgriLife Extension agent for Collin County at 972-548-4232 or chase.brooke@ag.tamu.edu.
