Fire turns your world upside down in minutes. You’re staring at smoke damage, water from firefighting efforts, and wondering where to even start.
Here’s what life looks like after we’re done. Your home smells fresh again—no lingering smoke odor hiding in walls or furniture. The soot stains are gone from your ceilings and walls. Your belongings that could be saved are clean and restored. Most importantly, you can breathe easy knowing the structural damage has been properly repaired by professionals who understand how fire affects Wisconsin homes.
You’re not dealing with insurance companies alone, trying to explain damage you don’t fully understand. We handle the documentation, the technical explanations, and the restoration work that gets your claim approved and your life back on track.
We’ve been helping Wauwatosa families recover from disasters for years. We know the unique challenges of older Wisconsin homes—many built in the 1950s or earlier—and how fire damage affects different construction materials and layouts.
We’re not a national franchise reading from a script. We’re local professionals who understand that your 1940s bungalow needs different care than a newer build. We know Milwaukee winters can complicate drying and restoration. We work with local contractors and suppliers who understand regional building codes and materials.
When fire strikes your Wauwatosa home, you need someone who can respond immediately and work efficiently. That’s exactly what we do—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We start with a comprehensive safety inspection within hours of your call. Our team assesses structural integrity, identifies all fire, smoke, and water damage, and creates a detailed restoration plan. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we’re looking for hidden damage that could cause problems later.
Next comes immediate stabilization. We board up openings, tarp damaged roofs, and extract any standing water from firefighting efforts. This prevents further damage while we work on the full restoration.
Then we tackle the cleaning phase. Smoke and soot removal requires specialized equipment and techniques. We clean walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings using industrial-grade equipment that eliminates odors at the molecular level. Regular cleaning won’t cut it—smoke particles penetrate deep into materials.
Finally, we handle all repairs and reconstruction. From replacing drywall and flooring to rebuilding structural elements, we restore your home to its pre-fire condition. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed every step of the way.

Our fire damage repair service covers every aspect of recovery. Structural repairs address weakened support beams, damaged walls, and compromised roofing. Smoke and soot cleanup goes beyond surface cleaning—we treat HVAC systems, clean inside walls, and eliminate odors from carpets and furniture.
Water damage from firefighting efforts gets immediate attention. Wisconsin’s climate means moisture can quickly lead to mold problems, especially in older Wauwatosa homes with traditional construction. We extract water, dry affected areas, and monitor moisture levels to prevent secondary damage.
Content restoration helps save your belongings. We inventory damaged items, clean what can be salvaged, and provide detailed documentation for insurance claims. This includes furniture, clothing, electronics, and personal items that have sentimental value.
We also handle the insurance side of things. Our team provides detailed estimates, photographic documentation, and works directly with adjusters to ensure your claim covers the full scope of necessary repairs. We know what insurance companies look for and how to present your case effectively.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically be on-site within 2 hours of your call. Time is critical after a fire—the longer smoke and soot sit on surfaces, the more permanent the damage becomes. Water from firefighting efforts also needs immediate attention to prevent mold growth.
Our rapid response team arrives with emergency stabilization equipment to secure your property and prevent further damage. We’ll board up openings, tarp damaged roofing, and begin the assessment process immediately. This quick action can save thousands of dollars in additional damage and make the difference between repairing and replacing many of your belongings.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage, including the cost of professional restoration services. However, coverage can vary based on the cause of the fire and your specific policy details. We work directly with insurance companies and understand what documentation they require for claims approval.
We provide detailed estimates, photographic evidence, and technical explanations that insurance adjusters need to process your claim quickly. Our team has experience with all major insurance companies and knows how to present your case to maximize coverage. We can also work with you on payment options if you have coverage gaps or high deductibles.
Yes, we use advanced deodorization techniques that eliminate smoke odors at the molecular level, not just mask them. Smoke particles penetrate deep into walls, furniture, HVAC systems, and other porous materials. Standard cleaning won’t remove these embedded odors.
Our process includes specialized cleaning agents, thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and air scrubbing equipment that neutralizes odor-causing particles. We also clean or replace HVAC filters and ductwork where smoke has circulated. The goal is complete odor elimination so your home smells fresh and clean, not like it ever had a fire.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential fire restoration projects in Wauwatosa take 2-6 weeks to complete. Emergency stabilization and initial cleaning happen within the first few days. Structural repairs and reconstruction take additional time based on the scope of work needed.
Factors that affect timeline include the size of the affected area, extent of structural damage, availability of materials, and insurance approval process. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the project. Our goal is quality work completed as quickly as possible so you can get back to normal life.
First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the scene. Don’t enter the property until officials say it’s safe—structural damage may not be immediately visible. Contact your insurance company to report the claim, then call us for emergency restoration services.
Avoid touching soot-covered items with bare hands, as soot can be acidic and cause further damage. Don’t attempt to clean smoke damage yourself—improper cleaning can make stains permanent. We’ll secure the property, assess the damage, and begin the restoration process while working with your insurance company to document everything properly.
Absolutely. Fire damage restoration almost always involves water damage cleanup from firefighting efforts. Sprinkler systems, fire hoses, and other suppression methods can cause significant water damage that needs immediate attention. We’re equipped to handle both issues simultaneously.
Our team extracts standing water, dries affected areas, and monitors moisture levels to prevent mold growth. This is especially important in Wauwatosa’s older homes where water can seep into traditional construction materials and cause long-term problems. We treat fire and water damage as one comprehensive restoration project, not separate issues.
