We guarantee, in writing, the elimination of all smoke odor from the structure and contents. Water used to douse the fire can create extensive damages, and we can mitigate those issues as well.
SEVERE WEATHER DAMAGE Heavy winds, lightening, hail, and rain can wreak havoc on your property. From complete structural restoration to minor shingle repairs, we possess the expertise and equipment to mitigate weather-related damages.
VEHICLE IMPACTThe damage done to your property from vehicle impact can appear minor but many times there are unseen structural issues. We know that more serious problems can arise if these issues aren’t corrected so we eliminate that potential immediately.
BURGLARY & VANDALISMRandom acts of unkindness such as burglary or vandalism can be painful. We rebuild spaces that have been impacted by a burglar or vandal and specialize in partial repairs necessary in such situations.

RESTORATIVE CLEANINGRoth Cleaning Company specializes in restoring fire, smoke, water, and sewage damaged property and contents. Our specialists are certified in water mitigation, odor, and contaminant removal. Our specialists work with you to assess everything that is valuable to you. We can preserve fragile items such as heirlooms, photos, artwork, legal documents, licenses, certificates, electronics, and media.
ON-SITE RESTORATIONRoth’s mobile cleaning units arrive ready to start the mitigation process immediately. We have the equipment to immediately begin restoring your property. Removing water, smoke, sewage, and other contaminants immediately is an important step in your restoration. Our specialists are on site quickly to evaluate the damage and work with you, your tenants, and your insurance company to help develop a plan of action. Additionally, we have the equipment to clean up graffiti covered surfaces.
OMEGASONIC ULTRASONIC CLEANING SYSTEMThe Omegasonic Ultrasonic technology is one of the most effective cleaning mechanisms available. It cleans through agitation without the use of heavy solvents. Ultrasonic cleaning is not only environmentally friendly, it is also an incredible cleaning system that works quickly and saves time, money, and many of the things that matter most to you. Unlike traditional cleaning systems, Ultrasonic cleaning can restore electronics, small appliances, power tools, and it also cleans plastics. Because Ultrasonic technology is so gentle on delicate items, many things that cannot be restored otherwise are cleaned using the Ultrasonic system.
CONTENTS MANAGEMENTIf your belongings cannot be cleaned on site and need to be taken to our facility, we start by using a digital recording system. Roth’s DPI inventory system creates a catalogue of your belongings. We can provide that list to you in both digital and paper formats. Once we have an inventory, we carefully package your contents and transport them to our cleaning facility. When your items are restored, they are re-packaged and stored in our climate-controlled warehouse. All of your belongings are in their own private vault for safe-keeping.

What You Should Know About The Restoration Process
WHAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FORGIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY
This is usually done through your insurance agent. Your agent will direct you to the right resources and guide you in the claims process. An insurance adjuster will be assigned to your claim by your insurance company. We work directly with you and your insurance carrier, agent, and adjuster. We are here to assist in processing your claim from start to finish. Any and all inspections will be completed by your Project Manager.
PROTECT THE PROPERTY FROM FURTHER DAMAGE, INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE AND NECESSARY REPAIRS
Disasters often leave your property and valuables exposed and vulnerable. When your property is compromised, it is an absolute necessity that you make sure that no further damages can occur. This includes tarping or boarding up holes in the roof, windows, doors, or walls that are open and exposed to the elements or to vandals.
PREPARE AN INVENTORY OF DAMAGED BELONGINGS INDICATING QUANTITY, DESCRIPTION, ACTUAL CASH VALUE, AND AMOUNT OF LOSS
Creating an inventory of damaged contents is difficult. You are required to carefully inspect and make a detailed list of every damaged and destroyed item. Additionally, you must assess the actual cash value for each item.
A disaster is very disruptive, so it is important to take the appropriate steps on the road to recovery. We provide you with tips that will streamline the process and help you get your life back to normal.
Using our DPI Pack-Out software, we provide a detailed inventory. This digital inventory is essential in getting your damaged and destroyed items restored or replaced. Since you are required to show your insurance company any damaged or destroyed items, it is essential that you not discard any items you want restored or replaced.
WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE YOUR PROJECT STARTSHIDDEN OR MISSED DAMAGES
Once we complete our initial estimate, and your insurance company settles the loss, there may be unseen damages that were not anticipated. Hidden damages are ones that were impossible for your Estimator to see or anticipate during the initial inspection. In most cases, hidden damages occur because of an unusual feature in the original structure. Damages may be hidden in a wall or simply be covered by a large amount of debris. Your Estimator can help you apply for additional damage expenses by filing a supplemental estimate.
DEBRIS REMOVAL
Your insurance company pays the cost of removing and discarding destroyed materials from your property. We can haul away most types of debris keeping your property clear and safe.

STEPS TO TAKE FOLLOWING AN INSURANCE LOSSRoth Companies is here to assist you with any of the following matters. An unexpected crisis not only damages your property but can also create significant disruption to your every day routine. If there are any items in your policy that you do not understand, we can assist in discussions with your agent or adjuster.
INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS
AGENTAn agent is the person who sold you your insurance policy. For specific information about your insurance policy, it is important that you contact your agent as soon as you can. They can help you initiate the claims process.
ADJUSTERAn adjuster is the person who represents your insurance company. All negotiations of your insurance settlement are through this person. We work directly with your adjuster to ensure your needs are met.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSURANCE POLICYThe insurance policy that you purchased to cover your business will now have a major impact on its repair. It is important for you to understand the coverages that your policy provides. Each insurance company writes its own unique policy, but the basic coverages of most insurance policies are quite similar. If there are any items in your policy that you do not understand, we can help you with decisions that you make and help you to deal with your insurance carrier, agent, and adjuster.
POLICY LIMITS
Despite whether or not your policy contains replacement costs, YOU WILL ONLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION IN THE AMOUNT OF YOUR POLICY LIMIT.
TYPES OF COVERAGES
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE (BI) Business Interruption Insurance (also known as business income insurance) is a type of insurance that covers the loss of income that a business suffers after a disaster. The income loss covered may be due to disaster-related closing of the business facility or due to the cleaning and/or re-construction processes after a disaster.
ACTUAL CASH VALUE (ACV)Actual Cash Value covers the property plus the value of your belongings after deducting depreciation (i.e., how much the items are currently worth and not how much you paid for them). If you have an ACV policy, you are only eligible to receive the depreciated value of damaged property and contents.
REPLACEMENT COST VALUE (RCV)Replacement Cost Value is the actual cost value without the deduction for depreciation, so you would be able to repair or rebuild your property up to the original value. If you have an RCV policy, you will be entitled to receive replacement cost value upon completion of the repairs to your property.
SUPPLEMENTSYou may hear this term during the course of your restoration project. A request for a supplement to your original estimate is made by your estimator should additional damages or increased costs due to extenuating circumstances arise. Roth will submit these items to your adjuster for verification and approval.
