What's Included

Complete Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Fire damage is more than what burned. Smoke residue is acidic and corrodes metals within hours. Soot embeds into porous materials, fabrics, and HVAC systems. Water from suppression efforts saturates everything. Our IICRC fire and smoke restoration technicians follow strict protocols to clean, deodorize, and rebuild — restoring contents and structure rather than replacing them where possible.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarp

Same-day board-up of broken windows and openings, roof tarping, and structural stabilization — securing your property against weather, theft, and further damage.

Soot & Smoke Removal

HEPA vacuuming, dry chemical sponging, and specialized cleaning agents matched to the type of smoke residue — wet smoke, dry smoke, protein, or fuel oil.

Structural Cleaning

Full surface cleaning of walls, ceilings, framing, and subfloors — sealing where appropriate to lock in residual odor compounds before reconstruction.

Odor Neutralization

Thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment — molecular-level odor destruction, not masking. Smoke odor is gone, not perfumed over.

Contents Cleaning

Pack-out of salvageable contents to our cleaning facility — ultrasonic cleaning for hard items, ozone chambers for textiles, document and photo recovery.

Reconstruction

Drywall, framing, flooring, cabinetry, and paint — rebuilt to code by licensed contractors managed under one project. You get your home back, not a list of subs to chase.

Frequently Asked

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration — Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions we get most often. Don't see yours? Call us — we are happy to talk through your situation.

Can you start fire damage cleanup the same day?
Yes. We dispatch within 60 minutes of your call for emergency board-up, tarping, and water extraction from suppression efforts. Detailed cleaning and deodorization typically begin the next business day after insurance is notified and scope is documented.
Will smoke odor really go away or just be covered up?
It will be eliminated, not masked. We use thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment that break apart smoke molecules at the chemical level. Sealing of structural surfaces locks in any deeply penetrated residue. Once we are finished, the odor is gone — verified before we close the job.
Does insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Yes. Standard homeowners and commercial property policies cover fire and smoke damage including resulting water damage from firefighting. We bill your carrier directly, document the scope photographically, and work with your adjuster to ensure the claim is paid correctly.
Can my contents be saved or do I have to throw them out?
Most contents can be restored. We pack out salvageable items to our cleaning facility — ultrasonic cleaning, ozone chambers, document recovery, and electronics decontamination. Restoration is typically 30 to 70 percent the cost of replacement, which keeps your claim in better standing.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
Light to moderate smoke damage takes 1 to 2 weeks. Significant fire damage with reconstruction typically runs 4 to 12 weeks depending on scope. Our network partners provide a written timeline at the start and update you weekly throughout the project.
Is my home safe to enter after a fire?
Not until cleared. Smoke residue contains corrosive and toxic compounds, structural integrity may be compromised, and electrical systems can be unsafe. Wait for the fire marshal to release the property and let the network contractors do an initial walk-through with you in protective equipment.
