We were recently called to a very large building following what was initially reported to us as a fire.
It quickly became apparent that this wasn’t a straightforward fire clean.
What had actually occurred involved an explosion, and before anyone could start talking about cleaning, we needed to understand exactly what had happened, what had travelled through the building and what we were dealing with.
So I pulled together a specialist team: a scientist, electrician, ventilation specialist, biohazard technicians and our site management team.
This is where this side of CG Cambridge gets really interesting.
Through testing, investigation and some very clever work from our scientist, within two days we had a much clearer picture of what had happened and how contamination had moved through areas of the building, including the ventilation system.
From there, the job became about solving the problem properly: mapping the affected areas, understanding the risks and putting together a full remediation plan to return the building to the condition it should be in.
I absolutely love this side of the business. It’s not just cleaning. It’s investigation, science, specialist testing, problem solving and then bringing the right people together to fix it.
We already work alongside loss adjusters and other professionals involved in complex incidents, and we’re now looking to build more relationships within the insurance and loss-adjusting sector.
If you’re a loss adjuster, insurer, facilities professional or restoration company looking for one team that can coordinate specialist assessment, testing and remediation, I’d love to connect.
