When operating a business that provides a home for people, families, pets and possessions, even a minor loss situation becomes a major emergency. The faster one can rectify a situation and mitigate any damage, the sooner you turn a disgruntled customer into a happy resident—and the sooner you can return to your mission-critical duties.

Expedient, professional, environmentally compliant and openly communicative every step of the way, InStar specializes in restoring lifestyles and livelihoods, efficiently, aggressively and responsibly.
As a result of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), specific upgrades are often a necessity on properties.

This enables efficient, quality upgrades that are tailored to suit your exact needs.

InStar provides security personnel who are knowledgeable about your building, procedures and key personnel to ensure goals are achieved safely, smoothly and rapidly.
When it’s time for improvements that protect, prolong, or enhance the value of your asset, count on InStar. Thanks to our solid financial backing, we can get the job done.

InStar offers comprehensive mold abatement and remediation services. If a space is not properly dried after a flood or other forms of unintended moisture, microbes and fungus can rapidly multiply causing serious damage to your property. The sooner you contact us, the less damage and health problems you’ll have to face.

Both our staff of Certified Restorers (CR) and Certified Mold Remediators (CMR) can mitigate mold and fungus problems to suit your specific needs.
The coordination of countless variables and specialties are required when working on properties. Aside from disaster cleanup, even “simple” construction can affect every aspect of your business. The InStar network is ready to provide you with advice, expertise and professional experience in any and all of these areas. We’ll listen and work with you to correct a difficult situation as efficiently and affordably as possible.
InStar has the equipment, manpower, technical expertise and storage capacity needed to handle the contents of your building. We will immediately mobilize, secure the area and inspect your contents to find the severity of your damages. We then decipher the information and formulate the most cost effective and expedient means of getting you back to where you need to be.
We’ll evaluate whether furniture, facilities, documents, electronics and more can be stored, cleaned, restored, recovered, are partially usable, or must be replaced. Contents will be returned to pre-loss condition so that your company’s assets are preserved.
Whether after a disaster or as part of a rehab, the InStar team puts the same level of expertise into demolition as we do reconstruction. Whether a large loss or smaller assignment, we possess the equipment and expertise to handle the job.
On-staff professionals including engineers, contractors and construction experts assure thorough demolition via the most efficient methods possible. Industry-leading environmental efforts promise absolute compliance as well as proper disposal of materials.
After a disaster, the recovery of important documentation like books, records and papers is vital to an operation. InStar has the technology, expertise and equipment necessary to reclaim and preserve such critical information.
We offer both onsite and offsite records recovery alternatives, that enable us to deliver in an expedient and cost-effective manner. Our technologies take wet materials, and quickly dry and freeze them in a freeze-dry chamber, avoiding further moisture damage. Reproduction and storage of the materials entails a process compliant with procedures and regulations regarding privacy issues. This serves to protect you as well as your valuable assets.
Many disasters are accompanied by an instant challenge - electrical systems that are down and out. With InStar, these power outages do not delay recovery efforts, as we are entirely self-sufficient when it comes to generating auxiliary power. We have the equipment to create the electricity in emergency circumstances, allowing us to begin work immediately. We are thoroughly prepared to mitigate loss, minimize disruption and get you back in business as rapidly as possible.

InStar is staffed to resolve any possible situation as rapidly as possible.
Fires are subject to numerous factors and outcomes. Aside from burned items and a compromised infrastructure, smoke, soot and acid can cause extensive damage to a structure and its contents. Fires also commonly trigger water damage or flooding from sprinkler systems or burst pipes, creating additional problems. No matter what your situation, the InStar team can provide complete recovery, no matter how large the loss.
From immediately securing the area to prevent further damage, to water removal, to complete cleaning and decontamination, to reconstruction and logistics planning, our people, processes, and constant communication have you covered.

A Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system cleaning for your building is often necessary after a fire or other type of disaster. Integrating a comprehensive cleaning of every component of a forced air system into a building cleanup provides greater thermal comfort and improves indoor air quality. At InStar, we insist on supplying each of the important steps involved in this process, as there is a huge difference between a true system cleaning and a “blow and go.” As a reliable provider of HVAC, we consistently keep a close eye on developing regulations in terms of indoor environmental standards.
Hydroxyl Generating Deodorization is a revolutionary ultraviolet technology that safely eliminates bacteria, mildew, mold, noxious gases and odors from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). InStar uses this method in indoor environments for odor processing, air-decontamination and air-purification. Ultraviolet wavelengths combine with ambient air humidity to generate “superior hydroxyls”; the same way ultraviolet rays from the sun come in contact with humidity to clean our atmosphere.
This effective cleaning method avoids the drawbacks of other air purification methods, to create clean, healthy surroundings after damage or a disaster. Hydroxyl Generating Deodorization is extremely effective in battling Sick Building Syndrome and other environmental threats that can be found indoors.
You need an expert like InStar when it comes to conversions, modifications, updates and much more. While carefully completing the project at hand, we’ll, also communicate with you from start to finish. Our contractors, engineers and project managers are trained to make sure achieving your goals is as efficient and painless as possible. So you can be renovated and back in business quickly and with minimum disruption.
After a disaster or catastrophe, the accumulation of odors is common. Ozone Treatments are extremely effective in eliminating this issue. At InStar, we maintain ozone generators for both onsite and offsite applications, depending on specific needs. High levels of ozone exposure are followed by ventilation with purging fans until the ozone levels are brought to acceptable levels. These treatments ensure that the source of any compromised air quality is eliminated - leaving a clean environment for your structure and occupants.
Successful disaster recovery requires direct coordination with multiple sources, contractors, technical experts and other professionals to ensure successful completion of the project. InStar project managers are seasoned professionals, carefully trained to keep this complex process moving smoothly and seamlessly. Accountability, communication and innovative solutions provide the best results, as expediently and cost-effectively as possible.
To achieve design goals and ensure the safety and comfort of occupants, a structural engineer is part of the InStar equation. Our on-staff professionals analyze, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems directly in sync with architecture. The rigorous training and experience our experts bring works to keep your project on track - and standards high.
