Comprehensive Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Fire damage is complex. You have the charring from the flames, the water damage from the hoses, and the pervasive smoke damage. We specialize in smoke damage cleaning and soot removal. Different types of fires (protein, wood, plastic) create different types of smoke webs. We match the cleaning chemical to the type of soot to prevent smearing and permanent staining.

The Science of Deodorization

Masking the smell with air fresheners doesn't work. The smoke odor particles are embedded in the pores of your wood and drywall. We use ozone treatment and thermal fogging to penetrate these materials. This process breaks down the odor-causing molecules, ensuring that "smokey smell" doesn't return on hot, humid days months later.

Structure & Content Protection

We offer fire damaged content cleaning. We carefully inventory, wrap, and transport your salvageable belongings to our facility for specialized cleaning. Meanwhile, on-site, we perform emergency board-ups to cover broken windows and damaged roofs, securing your property against weather and looters while the restoration begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you remove smoke stains from brick? Yes. We use specialized latex soot sponges and heavy-duty degreasers to pull soot out of porous brick fireplaces and walls.
• What is a "board up"? It is the process of installing plywood over broken windows and doors and tarping damaged roofs to secure the home from weather and illegal entry.
• How do you clean clothes that smell like smoke? We work with specialized textile restoration dry cleaners who use ozone washing processes to remove the odor from clothing and linens.
• Do you handle the rebuild? Yes. We are full-service contractors. We handle the cleanup, the odor removal, and the reconstruction of drywall, painting, and flooring.
• Why does the smoke smell come back? If the structure wasn't sealed or if charred wood wasn't removed/encapsulated, the smell can return. We use sealants to "lock in" any remaining odor on structural framing.
