When smoke invades your property, it doesn’t just leave visible damage. It penetrates walls, seeps into furniture, and travels through your HVAC system, creating health hazards that linger long after the fire is out.
Our smoke damage cleanup process eliminates every trace of contamination. You’ll walk back into a space that smells clean, feels safe, and looks exactly like it should. No lingering odors hiding in corners. No soot residue on surfaces. No wondering if the air you’re breathing is actually clean.
That’s what complete restoration looks like—and it’s what you deserve after dealing with fire damage.
We’ve been handling fire and smoke damage cleanup throughout Wisconsin for years, and we’ve seen every type of smoke contamination you can imagine. Kitchen fires, electrical fires, furnace malfunctions—each one creates different challenges that require specific solutions.
We’re IICRC certified, which means our techniques meet the industry’s highest standards. More importantly, we understand how smoke behaves in Merrill Park’s older homes and newer constructions. Wisconsin’s humidity can complicate smoke damage, but we know exactly how to address these local conditions.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who live in this community and understand what Wisconsin property owners face after a fire.
First, we conduct a complete assessment of your property. We’re looking for obvious damage and hidden contamination—smoke travels through walls, into air ducts, and behind appliances where you can’t see it.
Next, we secure the area and begin removing soot from all surfaces using specialized equipment. This isn’t regular cleaning. We use industrial-grade tools designed specifically for smoke residue that regular household products can’t touch.
Then comes odor elimination. We don’t just mask smells—we neutralize them at the molecular level using advanced deodorization techniques. Finally, we clean and restore your HVAC system to prevent recontamination, ensuring your air stays clean long after we’re finished.

Our smoke damage cleanup covers every aspect of contamination in your Merrill Park property. We remove soot from walls, ceilings, and fixtures. We deep-clean carpets, upholstery, and drapes that have absorbed smoke particles. We sanitize and deodorize affected areas using professional-grade equipment.
Wisconsin’s climate creates unique challenges for smoke damage. High humidity can cause smoke odors to penetrate deeper into materials, while temperature fluctuations can make contamination more stubborn. We adjust our approach based on these local conditions, ensuring thorough cleanup regardless of the season.
We also handle the insurance documentation process, providing detailed reports and photos that help streamline your claim. Most insurance companies in the Merrill Park area are familiar with our work and trust our assessments.
Most residential smoke damage cleanup projects in Merrill Park take 3-7 days, depending on the extent of contamination and the size of your property. Small, localized smoke damage might be completed in 2-3 days, while whole-house contamination can take up to two weeks.
The timeline depends on several factors: how long smoke circulated before being contained, what materials burned, and whether your HVAC system spread contamination throughout the house. We provide a realistic timeline after our initial assessment, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes during the process.
We work efficiently without cutting corners because rushing smoke cleanup often means missing contamination that will cause problems later.
It depends on the severity of the damage and which areas are affected. If smoke damage is limited to one room and we can isolate that space, you might be able to stay in unaffected areas of your home.
However, if smoke has traveled through your HVAC system or affected multiple rooms, temporary relocation is often the safest option. Smoke particles and cleaning chemicals can irritate your respiratory system, and our equipment can be quite loud.
We’ll assess your specific situation during our initial inspection and give you an honest recommendation. Your health and safety are more important than convenience, and we’ll help you understand all your options.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in Wisconsin cover smoke damage cleanup when it results from a covered fire loss. This typically includes soot removal, odor elimination, and cleaning of personal belongings.
However, coverage can vary significantly between policies and insurance companies. Some policies have specific limits on cleaning and restoration services, while others may require you to use preferred contractors.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the Merrill Park area and can help you understand your coverage. We provide detailed documentation and photos that insurance adjusters need to process your claim efficiently. Most of our customers find that professional cleanup is fully covered under their policy.
Persistent smoke odors usually mean the contamination wasn’t completely eliminated the first time. Smoke particles are incredibly small and can hide in porous materials, behind walls, and in HVAC systems where surface cleaning can’t reach them.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odors at the molecular level. These aren’t masking techniques—they actually break down the compounds that create smoke smells. We also seal porous surfaces when necessary to prevent off-gassing of trapped particles.
If odors return after our cleanup, we come back to identify and address the source at no additional charge. We guarantee our odor elimination work because we know how to find and treat contamination that other companies might miss.
Fire damage cleanup addresses structural damage, charred materials, and heat-related destruction that requires rebuilding or replacement. Smoke damage cleanup focuses on contamination that can be cleaned and restored without major reconstruction.
Smoke damage is often more extensive than people realize because smoke travels through your entire property, even areas nowhere near the actual fire. It penetrates fabrics, seeps into walls, and contaminates your HVAC system. The cleanup requires specialized techniques and equipment that regular cleaning can’t accomplish.
Many properties have both fire and smoke damage, but smoke contamination often extends far beyond the area where flames actually occurred. That’s why professional assessment is so important—we identify all affected areas, not just the obvious ones.
Yes, we clean and restore personal belongings whenever possible. This includes furniture, clothing, electronics, documents, and sentimental items that have absorbed smoke particles or odors.
We use different cleaning methods depending on the item and the type of contamination. Clothing might go through specialized dry cleaning processes, while electronics require careful cleaning of internal components. Documents can often be restored using freeze-drying techniques.
Some items may be too damaged to restore safely or cost-effectively, but we’ll give you honest assessments and work with your insurance company to document everything properly. We understand that many smoke-damaged items have value beyond their replacement cost, and we make every effort to save what matters most to you.
