When fire hits your Walker’s Point home, you’re facing more than just visible damage. Smoke seeps into everything—walls, furniture, your HVAC system. Water from putting out the fire creates its own problems. Without proper treatment, these issues get worse every day.
You get complete restoration, not just cleanup. Your home gets returned to exactly how it was before the fire. Your belongings get professionally cleaned or properly documented for insurance claims. Your family gets back to normal life without lingering odors or hidden problems.
We handle the details others miss. Air quality testing, moisture detection, insurance coordination—everything that makes the difference between a quick fix and a proper restoration.
We know Walker’s Point—from the historic buildings on National Avenue to the converted warehouses near the Menomonee River. Every property in this neighborhood has its own challenges, and we’ve handled them all.
You’re dealing with one of the most stressful situations any homeowner faces. The last thing you need is a restoration company that doesn’t understand your neighborhood or treats you like just another claim number. We respond fast because we’re local, and we understand what matters to Walker’s Point residents.
Your neighbors have trusted us with their fire damage restoration for years. We know the building styles, the insurance companies, and how to get things done right the first time.
We start with a complete damage assessment—not just what you can see, but hidden problems like smoke in ductwork or water damage inside walls. This tells us exactly what needs to be done and helps avoid surprises later.
Emergency services come next: securing your property, extracting water, and starting initial cleaning to prevent further damage. Every day without proper treatment makes restoration harder and more expensive.
Then we handle the detailed work: structural repairs, complete smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, and restoring or replacing damaged materials. We coordinate with your insurance company throughout so you don’t have to navigate that maze alone.
Ready to get started?
Walker’s Point properties require specialized knowledge. Many homes here date back to the early 1900s with unique ventilation patterns that affect how smoke travels. Newer loft conversions have different challenges with open floor plans and modern materials that react differently to fire damage.
We handle everything: structural damage repair, smoke and soot cleaning, water damage from firefighting, and complete odor elimination. Our equipment includes industrial air scrubbers, specialized cleaning solutions for different soot types, and moisture detection tools that find problems before they become bigger issues.
Milwaukee’s humidity and seasonal changes affect the restoration process. We adjust our methods based on current conditions to ensure proper drying and the best possible results for your specific situation and property type.
Call immediately—within hours if possible. Fire damage doesn’t stop when the flames are out. Smoke keeps penetrating materials, soot becomes harder to remove, and water from firefighting can start growing mold within 24-48 hours.
The sooner we start, the more we can save. What’s cleanable today might be permanently damaged next week. We’re available 24/7 because fire damage is a true emergency that gets worse every hour you wait.
Even if you’re waiting on insurance approvals, we can start emergency services to prevent further damage. These steps often save thousands in additional restoration costs down the road.
Most policies cover fire damage, but the details matter. Coverage typically includes structural damage, personal belongings, temporary living expenses, and debris removal. However, policy limits, deductibles, and specific exclusions affect what you actually receive.
We work directly with insurance companies and document damage properly for claims. This includes detailed photos, comprehensive assessments, and paperwork that helps get claims approved quickly. Too many homeowners lose money because damage wasn’t documented correctly.
Start the claims process immediately and let professionals handle the documentation. Insurance companies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage—another reason quick response matters.
Most residential projects take 2-6 weeks from start to finish. Minor smoke damage might be done in days, while major structural damage can take months. The biggest factors are how much structure was affected and whether there’s water damage from firefighting.
We give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout. Some homeowners can stay during restoration if damage is limited, while others need temporary housing for safety. We help coordinate temporary arrangements when necessary.
The goal is getting you home quickly while doing the work right. Rushing leads to problems later—lingering odors, moisture issues, or structural problems that weren’t properly addressed.
Yes, with professional equipment and techniques. Smoke odor elimination requires more than cleaning visible surfaces—smoke particles penetrate porous materials, HVAC systems, and structural components. Household cleaners and air fresheners only mask the problem temporarily.
We use industrial ozone generators, thermal fogging, and specialized cleaning solutions for different smoke residue types. The process includes cleaning all surfaces, treating fabrics, cleaning or replacing HVAC components, and sometimes sealing surfaces that absorbed odors.
Complete elimination takes several days to a week depending on damage extent. We test air quality throughout to ensure odors are eliminated, not covered up. If you smell smoke after we’re done, we haven’t finished the job.
First, ensure everyone’s safe and the fire department has cleared the property for entry. Don’t enter until certain it’s safe—structural damage isn’t always visible, and smoke can still be dangerous. Contact your insurance company immediately to report the claim.
If safe to enter, limit movement through damaged areas to prevent grinding soot into carpets. Don’t attempt cleaning yourself—improper cleaning can make damage permanent. Turn off utilities if instructed, and don’t use electrical appliances in damaged areas.
Take photos if you can safely, but don’t move damaged items unnecessarily. We will document everything properly for insurance. Most importantly, don’t delay calling for help—every hour makes restoration more difficult and expensive.
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial properties throughout Walker’s Point and Milwaukee. Commercial fire damage involves additional complexities like business interruption concerns, specialized equipment, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders.
For businesses, we understand getting operations running quickly is critical. We can often work around business hours and prioritize areas essential for operations. We coordinate with other contractors handling specialized equipment or systems.
Whether it’s a Walker’s Point restaurant, converted loft, or historic home, we adjust our approach based on property type and your needs. The goal is always complete restoration to pre-fire condition, but timeline and methods vary based on the specific situation.
