The fire department puts out the flames. We deal with everything after — the smoke, the soot, the water they used, and the electrical damage that often started the whole thing.

Merrick is part of the Town of Hempstead's PSEG service territory, and much of this area's housing predates the underground electric distribution that's become more common in newer construction — overhead lines here are more exposed to storm damage, which is a real contributing factor in weather-related electrical fires.
On a call in Merrick, we ask about the property's line type — overhead or buried — as part of the initial assessment, not as an afterthought.
If it's not fire & smoke damage restoration you need in Merrick, we handle the rest too — same crew, same call.
Board-up and initial mitigation typically starts within the hour once we get the call for Merrick, 11566.
Generally yes — fire, smoke, and the water damage from suppression efforts are standard covered perils. We document thoroughly to support the claim.
Downed or stressed power lines during severe weather are a documented contributor to electrical fires here, particularly where overhead lines are exposed.
Kitchen equipment, electrical faults, and heating equipment cover most of what we see, with storm-damaged wiring adding a seasonal spike.
Depends heavily on scope — smoke-only versus structural loss are very different jobs. Direct billing to your carrier covers most of it for Merrick, 11566 homeowners on a covered claim.
Nothing to pay for the first look, and if it's covered, your carrier gets billed — not you.
