We clean and restore damaged belongings in Lane County.
Our Springfield and East Lane County teams utilize a full range of cleaning methods to restore belongings damaged by fire and water. Fires leave behind a unique signature of soot and smoke based on what fueled the fire, and water-damaged belongings may be contaminated by unsanitary water. Our restoration technicians pretest your belongings to determine what items are salvageable and the best cleaning method for restoring each item. We use several different methods to clean and restore your belongings, including:
- Dry Cleaning - used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning
- Wet Cleaning - an effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues
- Spray and Wipe - effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning
- Foam Cleaning - used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned
- Abrasive Cleaning - involves agitation of the surface being cleaned
- Immersion Cleaning - contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product

Crawl Space Inspections Springfield Homes?
5/31/2022 (Permalink)
We inspect crawl space and attics in Lane County.
A family in the Pacific Northwest complained about hearing snoring sounds all winter long. Then winter ended, and the mystery was solved. The snoring sounds were coming from a mother bear and three bear cubs hibernating in the crawl space underneath the house! The bears have moved on, and now the crawl space is no longer easy to access.
Our Springfield and East Lane County teams have the training, equipment, and experience to perform crawl space inspections. During these inspections, our technicians look for signs of water damage, signs of mold and mildew, foundation issues, electrical issues, plumbing leaks and problems, ventilation problems, and floor damage.
Routine inspections of homes after storms or water or fire damage will identify any issues (but hopefully, no bears hibernating). The past few decades have seen a rapid advancement in the technology and techniques used in the restoration industry. We have adopted technologies that help us quickly identify the source, location, and extent of the damage.
Call Us!
You never know what you’ll find in your crawl space, so leave it to Springfield and East Lane County professionals to inspect your crawl space. We’ve been serving Springfield residents and commercial businesses with their restoration needs for years. Call us today at 541-741-7925.
