When smoke damage hits your Harambee property, you’re not just dealing with visible soot. You’re facing health hazards, lingering odors that make your home unlivable, and damage that gets worse by the hour.
After our smoke damage cleanup, you walk into a home that smells clean again. The toxic particles are gone from your air. Your family can breathe safely, and your property value is protected.
We use professional-grade equipment and proven techniques to eliminate smoke odors at their source—not just mask them. Your insurance handles the billing, and you get your life back without the financial stress.
We understand what Harambee families face after smoke damage. We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin communities with the kind of reliable, professional restoration work that neighbors recommend to neighbors.
Our IICRC-certified technicians know how smoke behaves in the older homes common throughout Harambee. We understand the community’s “pulling together” spirit—that’s why we work directly with your insurance company and keep you informed every step of the way.
When disaster strikes in Harambee, you need someone who shows up fast and does the job right. That’s exactly what we deliver, with the equipment and expertise to handle everything from minor smoke damage to complete restoration projects.
We start with a thorough assessment of your smoke damage within hours of your call. Our technicians identify all affected areas—including hidden damage in walls, HVAC systems, and other spaces where smoke travels.
Next, we secure your property and begin immediate smoke odor removal using industrial-grade air scrubbers and deodorization equipment. We remove all soot and residue from surfaces using specialized cleaning agents that won’t cause additional damage.
Finally, we restore your property to its pre-damage condition.

Throughout the process, we handle insurance documentation and keep you updated on our progress.

Our smoke damage cleanup service covers complete soot removal from all surfaces, professional-grade odor elimination, and air quality restoration. We clean walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and personal belongings using specialized techniques for each material type.
In Harambee’s older housing stock, smoke often penetrates deep into wood structures and plaster walls. We use advanced deodorization methods including thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to eliminate odors from these hard-to-reach areas.
Your service includes emergency board-up if needed, contents cleaning and restoration, HVAC system cleaning, and complete reconstruction services. We work directly with your insurance company, providing all necessary documentation and photos for your claim. You get one point of contact for the entire restoration process, from emergency response through final cleanup.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Harambee and arrive within 2 hours of your call in most cases. Speed is critical with smoke damage because soot and smoke residue become more difficult to remove as time passes, and the acidic nature of smoke can permanently damage surfaces within hours.
Our rapid response team immediately secures your property, starts air filtration to improve indoor air quality, and begins the assessment process. We understand that every hour counts when it comes to minimizing smoke damage and protecting your family’s health.
The sooner we can start the cleanup process, the more of your belongings we can typically save and the less expensive your overall restoration will be.
Yes, when done properly by professionals, smoke odors can be completely eliminated. We use advanced deodorization techniques including thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment to break down odor-causing molecules at the molecular level.
Simply cleaning visible soot isn’t enough—smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like wood, drywall, and fabrics. Our process treats these hidden areas where odors linger, ensuring complete elimination rather than just masking smells with fragrances.
We guarantee our odor removal work. If you detect any remaining smoke odors after we complete the job, we return to address those areas at no additional cost. Most of our Harambee clients are amazed at how fresh their homes smell after our professional treatment.
Many items that appear completely ruined by smoke can actually be restored with professional cleaning techniques. We can often save furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, artwork, and other personal belongings using specialized cleaning methods for each material type.
Items with sentimental value are especially important to our Harambee clients, and we take extra care with family photos, heirlooms, and irreplaceable possessions. Our contents restoration facility uses ultrasonic cleaning, dry cleaning, and other advanced techniques to remove smoke residue and odors.
However, some heavily damaged items—particularly those with deep smoke penetration or structural damage—may need to be replaced. We provide detailed documentation of what can be restored versus what should be replaced, helping you make informed decisions and ensuring your insurance claim covers appropriate replacements.
We work directly with your insurance company throughout the entire process, handling most of the paperwork and documentation for you. Our team photographs all damage, provides detailed estimates, and communicates directly with your adjuster to ensure proper coverage.
We offer direct billing to most major insurance companies, which means you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement. You typically only pay your deductible, and we handle the rest with your insurer.
Our experience with insurance claims means we know how to document smoke damage properly and advocate for complete coverage of necessary restoration work. We’ve helped hundreds of families in the Milwaukee area navigate the claims process successfully, ensuring they get the coverage they deserve for proper restoration.
In most cases, you should not stay in your home until professional smoke damage cleanup is complete. Smoke residue contains toxic particles and chemicals that can cause respiratory problems, especially for children, elderly family members, or anyone with asthma or other health conditions.
We’ll assess your specific situation and let you know when it’s safe to return. During the initial cleanup phase, we typically recommend staying elsewhere while we remove contaminated materials and restore air quality using professional filtration equipment.
Once we’ve completed the cleaning and deodorization process and confirmed that air quality meets safety standards, we’ll give you the all-clear to return home. Your family’s safety is our top priority, and we won’t rush this timeline just to finish faster.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential smoke damage cleanup in Harambee takes 3-7 days for the initial cleaning and deodorization phase. More extensive damage requiring reconstruction can take several weeks.
Minor smoke damage affecting just a few rooms might be completed in 2-3 days, while whole-house smoke damage typically requires 5-10 days for complete restoration. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
We work efficiently without cutting corners on quality. Our goal is to get your family back home as quickly as possible while ensuring the job is done right the first time. We’ll keep you updated daily on our progress and any changes to the expected completion date.
