What Happens After a Fire
Fire damage is more than what burns. Soot spreads through the air and settles on surfaces. Smoke odor soaks into walls, fabric and furniture. Water used to put out the fire can lead to mold. A complete restoration deals with all of it.

Fire Damage FAQ
Is it safe to go back into my house after a fire?
Not until the fire department says it is safe. Even then, soot and structural damage can be hazardous, so call us for an inspection.
Can smoke smell be removed completely?
In most cases yes, when the source of the odor is cleaned and treated properly. Simply covering smells with air fresheners will not work.
Can my belongings be saved?
Many items can be cleaned and restored, including furniture, clothing and electronics. We will tell you what is salvageable.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
Minor smoke damage can take days. Larger fires with rebuilding can take weeks or months. We give a timeline after the inspection.
What should I do right after a fire?
Call the fire department first, then call us. Do not touch soot-covered surfaces, and take photos if it is safe.
