How it works
From your call to a clean building
01
Call and secure
Openings boarded and the roof tarped the same night so the building stops taking weather.
02
Identify the residue
Dry soot, wet soot and protein residue need opposite methods. Getting it wrong is permanent.
03
Clean and deodorize
Top down under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then ductwork, then odor treatment.
04
Document and restore
Photos and scope go to your adjuster, then repairs put the building back.

Fire Damage Restoration Near Me
Soot is acidic, and that is the part almost everyone underestimates. It etches chrome, brass, aluminium and polished stone within days, and it pits appliance finishes permanently. A fire that damaged two rooms can cost you fixtures throughout the building if the residue sits through a weekend.
The correct method depends entirely on what burned. Dry soot from a fast, high-oxygen fire is powdery and lifts with chemical sponges and HEPA vacuuming. Wet soot from a smouldering, oxygen-starved fire is sticky, smears under pressure, and needs solvent-based cleaning. Protein residue from a kitchen fire is amber and nearly transparent, coats every surface in a thin varnish, and carries the worst odour of the three.
Getting that identification wrong ruins surfaces. Wet-cleaning dry soot drives it into porous material and turns a cleanable wall into a replaceable one, and there is no undoing it. It is why we identify residue type before anything is touched.
Work runs top-down under negative pressure with HEPA air scrubbers going, because soot disturbed at ceiling level lands on everything already cleaned below it.

Smoke Damage Cleanup Near Me
Smoke odour is not a smell sitting on surfaces. It is particulate driven deep into porous material by heat and pressure, and it stays there. That is why repainting alone fails, why the smell returns on the first humid day, and why air fresheners make it worse rather than better.
The sequence matters more than the technique. Source removal first, because no deodorisation method overcomes material that is still holding residue. Then cleaning of every accessible surface. Only then does treatment make sense.
The step most often skipped is the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point during or after the fire, it pulled smoke from the fire area and pushed it into rooms that were otherwise untouched, and it will keep redistributing odour every time it cycles. Buildings that were cleaned properly still smell for exactly this reason: the rooms were done and the system feeding them was not.
We are direct about limits. Upholstery, mattresses and carpet pad that took heavy smoke rarely come back, and cleaning them repeatedly costs more than replacement while leaving the odour in place.
Fire Damage Restoration FAQs
Frequently asked questions about fire damage restoration
Response times, what can be saved, why buildings still smell after cleaning, and how claims get documented
Talk to a real personWill painting over the smell work?
Not on its own. Odor is particulate driven into porous material by heat and pressure, so paint traps it briefly and it returns on the first humid day. Source removal and cleaning come first, then a shellac based sealing primer where framing has absorbed odor, then finish.
My furnace puffed back and there was no fire. Is that the same thing?
The cleanup is very similar. A puffback pushes oily soot through every duct run in the building, so the contamination is widespread even though nothing burned. Have the furnace serviced before it runs again, because a unit that puffed back once will do it again.
Is the water damage covered too?
Suppression water is generally handled as part of the same fire claim rather than as a separate water claim, though policies vary. What matters practically is that drying and soot cleanup run together, since water sitting in a soot loaded building grows mold within a couple of days.
What can actually be saved?
More than people expect on hard goods, less than people hope on soft goods. Hard surfaces, fixtures, most electronics and many textiles are recoverable. Mattresses, upholstered furniture and carpet pad that took heavy smoke usually are not, and repeated cleaning costs more than replacement while leaving the odor.
Do you handle the insurance side?
We document it properly, which is the part that decides claims. Photographs before anything moves, residue type and affected areas by room, equipment logs, and a written scope. We bill many carriers directly. We will not tell you your claim is covered, because that depends on your policy.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Sometimes, depending on the extent and whether containment can separate the work area from where you live. Ozone treatment rules that out entirely for the duration. Hydroxyl generators are the occupied space alternative and we use those where people are staying.
