Before any restoration or repair decision gets made, you need an accurate picture of what's actually damaged — not a guess based on what's visible from the doorway. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Fire Damage Assessment specialists in Shafer, MN use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and structured photo documentation to build a report that holds up under adjuster review.
We combine thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and detailed photo documentation into one report, because a written description alone rarely satisfies an adjuster reviewing a Shafer, MN claim.

We use thermal imaging cameras to detect heat damage hidden behind drywall that a visual walkthrough alone would miss.
Our reports are structured in the format Shafer, MN insurance adjusters typically expect, which speeds up claim review.
Our assessors are trained specifically in fire damage evaluation, separate from any sales function.
Most Shafer assessment reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of the on-site visit.
Shafer property owners sometimes assume an assessment is just a formality before the "real" work starts, but a rushed or incomplete Fire Damage Assessment assessment is one of the more common reasons a Shafer, MN insurance claim gets contested or underpaid later.
An incomplete assessment report is one of the fastest ways to trigger additional adjuster scrutiny on a Shafer, MN fire claim.
That's why our Fire Damage Assessment technicians don't skip rooms that look untouched — heat and smoke can affect areas that show no visible sign of damage before approving a claim.
Reports are delivered as a digital PDF as well as a printed copy on request, so Shafer homeowners can share them however their adjuster prefers.
We use thermal imaging specifically to catch damage hidden behind finished surfaces.
Every affected room gets moisture readings logged and mapped, forming the basis for both drying and repair decisions.
Our photo documentation follows a consistent structure that makes the report easy for an adjuster to review.
We note visible and thermally-detected signs of structural concern for follow-up by a qualified contractor or engineer.
You receive a complete written report covering moisture data, thermal findings, and photo documentation, ready for your insurer.
Based on assessment findings, we provide a preliminary recommendation on repair versus rebuild scope.
Our team at +1-866-484-1409 sets up the assessment appointment, usually within a day or two of your call.
Our assessor brings the full equipment set needed to complete a thorough Fire Damage Assessment evaluation in one visit.
Assessment happens in a single visit, covering every data point needed for the final report.
We consider the Fire Damage Assessment job complete once the finished report is delivered and reviewed with you.
