Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration You Can Rely On
After a fire, the secondary damage from smoke, soot, and water from suppression is often more extensive than the flames themselves. Smoke residues are acidic and corrode metal, etch glass, and permanently stain porous materials within days. We respond fast: secure the structure, remove soot and char, deodorize with hydroxyl/ozone, dry water-damaged areas, and coordinate full reconstruction.

- Content pack-out, ozone treatment, and storage
- Coordination with insurance and reconstruction trades
Common Loss Types We Handle
- Soot deposits on walls, ceilings, or contents
- Persistent smoke odor in fabrics, walls, or HVAC
- Fire suppression water damage to floors and drywall
- Yellow staining on glass, ceramic, or plastic

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration FAQs
- Can smoke odor be removed completely?
- Yes, when done correctly. We combine source removal (soot, residue, contaminated materials), thermal fogging or hydroxyl generation, and HVAC duct cleaning. Half-measures leave odor that returns in humid weather.
- How long does fire damage restoration take?
- Mitigation (board-up, soot removal, deodorization) is typically 1-2 weeks. Reconstruction depends on scope — minor jobs in 2-4 weeks, major rebuilds 2-6 months. We provide written timelines for both phases.
