Fire Damage Restoration in Ponder, TX

Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in Ponder, 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 Ponder, 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.

Unlike residential fires, apartment and multifamily building fires add several more layers of complexity and stress. In these situations, you deserve a restoration partner that you can trust without question, and that company is Atlas National Renovations.

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. Once we have inspected your property, we'll provide a detailed report and scope of work for your fire damage restoration project.

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

Brush fire ignites in Denton County

As of Friday afternoon, the fire is estimated to be 72 acres and 95% contained.

DENTON COUNTY, Texas — Officials are working to put out a brush fire near the county line between Denton and Wise counties. No homes or buildings have burned.

The Big Sky Fire is reported near U.S. Highway 380 and Jackson Road in Stony. As of Friday afternoon, the fire was estimated to be 72 acres and 95% contained, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

The agency said bulldozers have cut a line around the brush fire, removing grass and other fuels that could reignite. Firefighters are working to "widen and improve that line," a spokesperson tweeted.

"Basically, they're going to cut a road," Denton County Fire Marshall Brad Sebastian said. "They'll do a perimeter around the fire, that way it's controlled no matter what direction the wind blows."

Sebastian said investigators are still trying to determine how the fire started, though it appears to have sparked near U.S. Highway 380. Carelessness is likely to blame, he said.

"Someone probably dragging a chain, throwing out a cigarette butt, or something car-related," he said. "Any of those things can definitely ignite a fire right now."

Big Sky Estates residents watched from their windows as the fire consumed the field across the street from their houses Thursday. The development is new, meaning most neighbors have only lived in their homes for a few months.

"It's really rattling," said Paige Spehar, a first-time homeowner who moved to the neighborhood this spring. "It makes you appreciate all of the things in your life that you have, because they could not be there in a matter of seconds."

A Red Flag Warning has been issued for areas along and west of I-35 until at least 1 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 4. This means any fires could spread very quickly if they get started. It is very hot, dry and breezy in these areas, and drought conditions continue to worsen.

Because of drought and dry conditions, almost all counties along and west of I-35W are under burn bans with more burn bans continuing to be added each day in other parts of North Texas.

Marshall man’s multi-million dollar collection of cars to be auctioned off

MARSHALL, Texas (KLTV) - If you have about 25 million you can buy them all, although it’s doubtful that will happen. A Marshall man is about to auction off his car collection with the help of Sotheby’s.Gene Ponder has a thing for cars, which is kind of stating the obvious.“I grew up not having a car. And I don’t care how good a football player or track star you were, girls didn’t want to walk on a date. So, I vowed sooner or later I’d own a lot of cars and clothes,” Ponder said.G...

Gene Ponder has a thing for cars, which is kind of stating the obvious.

“I grew up not having a car. And I don’t care how good a football player or track star you were, girls didn’t want to walk on a date. So, I vowed sooner or later I’d own a lot of cars and clothes,” Ponder said.

Gene never got around to showing me his clothes collection, but I was pretty overwhelmed by the cars.

“So how many cars do you have all together?” I asked Gene.

“I believe it’s 130 give or take three or four. Sometimes I’m not exactly sure,” Ponder said.

Gene says he was raised by his grandparents and worked for a cabinet maker. He began making them himself and it became a business which was very lucrative. Eventually he sold it but decided to start another business in 2007. He financed it with a previous car collection.

“I sold about 40 of the cars back then. I didn’t want a bunch of bank debt. And I wanted to start a large cabinet company with the most sophisticated equipment that you could find now days,” Ponder said.

That was pretty lucrative too and he started up another collection adding to the six cars he kept. He says about four years back his son, who was helping to run the company, died.

“When I lost him, I sold the company and just kind of lost myself in the cars,” Ponder said.

He lost his wife recently, and he says at eighty he’s closer to the end than the beginning so:

“I don’t want to leave all of this to one of my grandchildren to have to sell off and take care of. It’s better that I do it with somebody that really knows what they’re doing and that’s R.M. Sotheby’s,” Ponder said.

He says the one-million-dollar 1959 Mercedes 300 SL, the Ferraris, the Bugattis, the MGs, and the Maseratis all:

“Run as good as they look,” Ponder said.

He says he’ll miss all his prize possessions, but they need to be driven, he can’t get to them all, and it’s time to move on.

“But to me they’re works of art. Some people want a Rembrandt on their wall. These are my Rembrandts,” Ponder said.

All for sale, no reserve, although he is keeping a few off property.

The Sotheby’s auction is in person and online September 22-24 from Ponder’s home in Marshall.

Grapevine manufacturer acquires 318 acres west of Denton

Grapevine-based Kubota Tractor Corp. purchased 318 acres of land in Ponder, Texas, and will convert the property into the "Kubota Ranch," the company announced Monday afternoon.

The ranch, about 12 miles southwest of Denton, will offer space for the company to test, train and demonstrate Kubota equipment for prospective dealers deciding whether to sell Kubota products. The company declined to disclose the price it paid for the plot of land.

"Kubota has considered a land purchase of this nature for quite some time, and with our Grapevine headquarters in such close proximity, the opportunity to expand our operations and research and development capabilities here in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region makes solid business sense," said Masato Yoshikawa, Kubota Tractor Corp.'s president and CEO, in a prepared statement.

Yoshikawa added that another benefit to the ranch is the ability to bring clients to one location to test equipment, rather than recreating the experience in various locations around the country.

Kubota Ranch will retain the four small utility buildings on site and the company said it "has a vision" to build more amenities in the future. Kubota said there are no plans to build either a manufacturing facility or a distribution center in Ponder. Kubota hosts its manufacturing operations in Jefferson and Gainesville, Georgia.

Kubota is a manufacturer of farm equipment like tractors, hay tools and also lawn mowers for consumers. Kubota Tractor Corp., along with Kubota Credit Corp., are both Grapevine-based subsidiaries of Japan-based Kubota Corp.

The company moved Kubota Tractor Corp.'s headquarters to Grapevine from Torrance, California, in 2015. Kubota currently has 500 employees in DFW, a company spokesperson said, and it was not clear if the ranch will add any jobs.

Kubota's relocation to Grapevine a few years ago came with a $3.8 million incentive from the Texas Enterprise Fund. In exchange for the incentive, Kubota agreed to create hundreds of jobs and invest $51 million into its Grapevine headquarters.

Water tests continue in Ponder; residents claim water is causing rashes

Technicians for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality returned to Ponder to test the last of the town's seven groundwater wells.

PONDER, Texas -- Technicians working for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality returned to the Denton County town of Ponder on Tuesday to continue testing water samples after a series of complaints about suspicious rashes that some residents believe might be caused by the local water supply.

“This is a rash that occurred after a shower," Seraluna Sanchez told WFAA while sifting through several photos from her own family and photos given to her by other residents.

“I believe there was also some on his face that day," she said while showing us pictures of her toddler son. “It’s a burning itching sensation and it’s red," she said of the contact dermatitis diagnosis she eventually received.

Her complaints, and concerns that the groundwater in Ponder might be to blame, have the entire Denton County town talking, including those who worry the entire conversation may be unjustly muddying the town's good name.

“I have no problem at all telling you that the water is safe," said Public Works director Gary Morris. “I’ve been here 26 years, so I do take it personally like it’s my water that I’m trying to produce."

Ponder residents, including those who have started a Facebook discussion group called The Water Fixers, with more than 100 members, say the problems started late last year. Several report rashes and hives after taking showers or washing dishes. But town officials say that in every state-mandated water test, no problems have been found.

“We’re doing everything possible to make sure that there is not something we’re missing or make sure that there’s something out there that we need to take care of," said Morris.

But sporadic complaints persisted. So Tuesday, technicians for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality returned to Ponder to test the last of the town’s seven groundwater wells. Results will be available perhaps in a few weeks -- good news for concerned moms like Seraluna Sanchez.

“We work with good people, and we want to see this moving forward," she said. "We want to see Ponder shed in a good light. And I think with this new testing we will have some relief soon and we’ll know what’s going on.”

Going on....in a town counting on good water and counting on its clean, good name.
