The Action 1 Restoration Comprehensive Water, Fire, Mold and Biohazard Restoration Services in Dover, DE
From emergency response to full restoration and long-term fixes, we handle homes and businesses all over Dover—including spots near Dover Air Force Base. Our teams work around the clock, coordinating water, fire, mold, and biohazard jobs to bring things back to normal.
Emergency Water Damage and Flood Mitigation
First, we get rid of the water—fast. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we track down hidden wet spots. Our techs handle extraction, pump and vacuum services, and pull out damaged carpet or drywall when needed to keep things from getting worse.
Once the obvious water is gone, we dry everything out with heavy-duty dehumidifiers and air movers. Drying progress gets tracked in logs. Before we rebuild, we also clean and treat affected areas to prevent mold from taking hold.
Typical services include:
- Emergency water removal and flood damage mitigation
- Contaminated water handling and sanitation
- Structural drying, moisture monitoring, and final repairs
- Coordination with insurers and documentation for claims
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
If fire strikes, we secure the property—boarding up and tarping roofs if needed. We separate out unsalvageable stuff from what can be cleaned, and we inventory everything for restoration.
For smoke, we use HEPA filtration, ozone or hydroxyl treatments, and clean out HVAC systems to get rid of odor and soot. Soot removal, deodorizing, and checking for heat damage all come before repairs begin.
Core steps we follow:
- Emergency securing and structural safety inspection
- Soot and ash removal, content cleaning, and odor control
- Fire damage restoration planning, re
Our Mold Removal Process
We check for mold with a good look around and, if needed, air or surface testing to figure out what we’re dealing with. Containment and negative air pressure keep spores from spreading during cleanup.
Our techs remove moldy materials or clean hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and HEPA vacuums. We track down moisture sources, fix leaks, and put in place long-term moisture control to keep the problem from coming back.
Standard mold services:
- Mold inspection, testing, and containment setup
- Removal or remediation of mold-impacted materials
- Drying, antimicrobial treatment, and preventive repairs
- Clearance testing and documentation for occupancy

Expert Guidance, Local Insight and Restoration Support
We’re all about practical, local solutions that get Dover properties back to safe, usable shape. Our approach mixes quick emergency fixes with longer-term repairs and moisture control, because you never want to deal with the same problem twice.
Residential and Commercial Restoration Expertise
We tackle both home and business restoration with plans that fit your space. At home, we focus on fast water extraction, targeted mold cleanup, and controlled drying to keep things from getting worse. For businesses, we try to minimize downtime—phased smoke cleanup, odor removal, and repairs that let tenants or staff keep moving when possible.
Our crews are certified in water, fire, and biohazard response. We document all damage with photos and measurements for insurance and other records. We’ll also coordinate with Dover’s building inspectors to make sure repairs meet local code.
Moisture Control and Odor Elimination
Moisture control is the backbone of any good restoration. Once we’ve gotten rid of the water, we use meters and thermal imaging to find leftover moisture, then bring in dehumidifiers and HEPA air filters to hit safe humidity levels and stop mold. We keep affected areas isolated to avoid spreading issues.
For stubborn odors—smoke, biohazard, you name it—we rely on a mix of source removal, ozone-safe neutralizers, and sometimes thermal fogging. We keep you in the loop about the products we use and any health considerations, and we always document clearance testing so you know when it’s safe to move back in.
Insurance Claims and Billing Assistance
We help with insurance claims and billing, aiming to cut down on frustrating delays and denials. Our team puts together scope-of-loss reports, detailed estimates based on industry pricing, and photo inventories of what’s been affected. We handle the paperwork so it’s compatible with most insurance carriers, and we’ll walk you through coverage details—things like temporary housing, emergency board-up, or code upgrades you might not have thought about.
If your insurance company asks for more info, we step in as your advocate. That might mean sending extra estimates, explaining why repairs are needed after smoke damage, or providing mold remediation protocols. Whenever possible, we try to set up direct billing with your carrier, just to make the payment process less of a headache and get restoration moving faster.
