Fire & Smoke Damage

Fire Damage Restoration

Cleaning, deodorizing and rebuilding after a fire, from soot and smoke removal to structural repair and returning your home to normal.

A fire leaves more than burned materials. Soot settles on every surface, smoke odor soaks into fabric and drywall, and the water used to put the fire out creates its own damage. Recovery means dealing with all three: fire, smoke and water.

We secure the property, assess the damage and explain what can be cleaned and what must be replaced. Then we remove debris, clean soot from surfaces, treat odor, dry any water-damaged areas and coordinate the rebuild. You get one team and one plan from the first call to the final walk-through.

Safety and securing the property

Fire-damaged structures can have weak floors, exposed wiring and unstable ceilings. We check conditions, board up openings and protect the property from weather and theft before cleaning begins.

Soot and smoke are different problems

Dry soot, greasy soot and invisible protein residue each need their own cleaning method. Using the wrong method smears soot deeper into surfaces and sets odor.

Water after the fire

Fire hoses and sprinklers leave behind a lot of water. We dry the structure at the same time as we clean, so mold does not add to the loss.

After the fire trucks leave

Do not turn on the HVAC system, eat food exposed to smoke or touch soot-covered items with bare hands. Call us and your insurance company, and take photographs.

Questions

Fire Damage Restoration FAQ

What should I do right after a fire?

Wait for the fire department to say it is safe, then call us. Do not clean soot yourself, because wiping often makes it worse. Our fire guide has a checklist.

Can my belongings be saved?

Many can. Hard items, clothing and furniture can often be cleaned. We sort what can be restored, what should be replaced and what to photograph for your claim.

How long does fire restoration take?

Cleaning often takes days to weeks. Rebuilding depends on the damage. We give a schedule once we see the scope.

Can I stay in the house?

That depends on structural safety, air quality and utilities. We help you understand what is safe and when.

Should I turn on my air conditioner?

No. It can spread soot through the house. Wait until the system is checked and cleaned.
