Clearance processFrom fire tocounty clearance
How Alliance takes a fire-damaged property from first call to formal clearance.
Seven steps
The clearanceprocess
Site assessment
We visit the property, document conditions and identify likely hazardous materials.
Work plan & paperwork
We prepare the site-specific work plan and submit the required paperwork to the county.
Hazmat testing
Asbestos, lead, ash and soil samples go to an accredited lab so cleanup is based on actual results.
Hazardous materials removal
Asbestos-containing materials and household hazardous waste are removed and disposed of properly first.
Debris & soil removal
Remaining debris, ash and contaminated soil are removed.
Confirmation sampling
Post-cleanup samples confirm the site meets clearance standards.
Agency clearance
We work with the local agency until the property is formally cleared for rebuilding.
Why order matters: hazardous materials have to be identified and removed before general debris. Skipping testing can spread asbestos or contaminated ash, stall clearance and add cost.
