Even a small kitchen fire can push smoke through an entire house - into closets, ducts, and furniture three rooms away. Smoke residue is acidic and keeps damaging surfaces for weeks, and no candle or spray fixes the odor. Professional smoke cleanup does.

While You Wait for the Crew
A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we arrive.
Do
- Wait for the fire department to clear the building before going back in
- Call your insurance company early — fire claims move better with an early start
- Keep receipts for anything you buy while displaced
- Let us board up openings and tarp the roof to prevent secondary damage
Don’t
- Wipe soot off walls or furniture — rubbing works it deeper into the surface
- Run the HVAC system — it spreads soot through the whole house
- Wash smoke-damaged clothing with regular detergent
- Throw anything away before it is documented for your claim
Our Process
- 1
Assessment
We inspect the damage, map how far it reaches, and give you a clear plan and estimate before work begins.
- 2
Mitigation
We stop the damage from spreading - extracting water, boarding up, or containing the affected area.
- 3
Cleanup & Drying
Commercial equipment removes moisture, soot, or contamination, and we verify with instruments - not guesswork.
- 4
Sanitizing
Affected surfaces are cleaned, deodorized, and treated so your home is safe, not just dry.
- 5
Restoration
Our reconstruction team rebuilds and finishes every damaged surface so it looks like nothing ever happened.
We Work With Your Insurance
Restoration is stressful enough without fighting through a claim alone. Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. You always know what is happening and what your policy covers before work begins.
