You walk back into a space that feels like home again. The acrid smell is gone—not masked, actually eliminated. Your walls, furniture, and belongings either restored to their original condition or properly documented for replacement.
You’re not wondering what damage might be hiding behind walls or in your HVAC system. Every surface has been properly cleaned, every area assessed, and every detail documented for your insurance claim.
The overwhelming decisions are handled. You know exactly what was saved, what needs replacing, and what the next steps look like. Your property is safe, clean, and ready for you to rebuild your normal life.
We’ve been handling smoke damage cleanup across Wisconsin for years, and we understand what Sherman Park residents face after a fire. We’re not the guys who show up, spray some deodorizer, and call it done.
Our technicians are IICRC-certified and trained specifically for smoke damage restoration. We know how Wisconsin’s humidity affects smoke penetration, how older homes in Sherman Park require different approaches, and what insurance companies expect in documentation.
We’re local, we’re available 24/7, and we’ve seen every type of smoke damage situation Wisconsin can throw at a property. When your home needs real restoration, not just surface cleaning, we’re the team that gets it right.
First, we assess the full scope of damage—not just what’s visible. Smoke travels through HVAC systems, seeps into wall cavities, and penetrates materials in ways most people don’t realize. We test air quality, check behind walls, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Next, we remove soot and residue using specialized equipment and techniques. This isn’t about wiping down surfaces. We use thermal foggers, ozone generators, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at the source. We clean or remove contaminated materials based on what can actually be restored.
Finally, we verify the work is complete. We don’t consider a job finished until air quality tests confirm the space is safe and odor-free. You get documentation of everything we’ve done, photos of the restoration process, and a clear understanding of what was accomplished.

Every smoke damage cleanup includes complete soot removal from all affected surfaces, deep cleaning of salvageable items, and elimination of smoke odors using commercial-grade equipment. We clean your HVAC system, replace contaminated filters, and address any areas where smoke has penetrated.
Sherman Park’s older homes often have unique challenges—plaster walls that absorb more smoke, hardwood floors that need special treatment, and vintage materials that require careful restoration techniques. We handle these situations regularly and know what works in Wisconsin’s climate.
You also get full documentation for insurance claims, including before and after photos, detailed scope of work, and air quality testing results. We work directly with your insurance adjuster to make sure nothing gets missed in the claim process.
Most residential smoke damage cleanup takes 3-7 days, depending on the extent of damage and size of your property. The timeline isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about doing it right.
Day one typically involves assessment, securing the property, and beginning soot removal. Days 2-4 focus on deep cleaning, odor elimination, and treating affected materials. The final days involve air quality testing and verification that odors are completely eliminated.
Weather affects timing in Wisconsin. High humidity can slow the deodorization process, while winter conditions might require additional heating and ventilation considerations. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover smoke damage cleanup when it results from a covered fire loss. This includes fires in your home, neighboring properties, or even wildfires if they affect your property.
The key is proper documentation. Insurance companies want to see detailed scope of work, photos of damage, and evidence that the cleanup was necessary and effective. We handle this documentation as part of our service and work directly with adjusters.
Some policies have specific requirements about using certified restoration companies or getting multiple estimates. We’re familiar with Wisconsin insurance requirements and can help you navigate your specific policy terms to maximize your coverage.
We eliminate smoke odors at the molecular level—we don’t mask them with air fresheners or surface treatments. Real odor elimination requires breaking down the odor-causing compounds, not covering them up.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators depending on the type of smoke and affected materials. These methods neutralize odor molecules in air, on surfaces, and within porous materials like drywall and wood.
The process isn’t instant. Complete odor elimination can take several days and requires proper equipment, technique, and verification testing. If you can still smell smoke after we’re done, we haven’t finished the job. That’s our standard.
Most hard surfaces, electronics, and non-porous materials can be restored if cleaned properly and quickly. Wood furniture, metal fixtures, and glass items typically clean up well. Fabric items depend on the material and how long smoke exposure lasted.
Porous materials like carpet, upholstery, and drywall are judgment calls. Light smoke exposure might be cleanable, but heavy exposure usually requires replacement. We test each material and give you honest assessments about what’s worth restoring.
Personal items often have the best restoration success rate because we can dedicate more time and specialized techniques to individual pieces. Documents, photos, and sentimental items often respond well to professional cleaning even when they look hopeless initially.
Yes, HVAC system cleaning is essential after smoke damage. Your heating and cooling system can circulate smoke particles and odors throughout your entire property if not properly cleaned.
We clean all accessible ductwork, replace contaminated filters, and clean the air handler unit. In severe cases, ductwork might need professional duct cleaning or even replacement if contamination is extensive.
The HVAC system often gets overlooked in smoke cleanup, but it’s one of the most important components. A contaminated system can re-contaminate clean areas and make odor elimination impossible. We address this systematically as part of every smoke damage restoration project.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 1-2 hours in Sherman Park. Smoke damage gets worse with time, so fast response directly impacts how much of your property we can save.
The first few hours are critical for preventing permanent staining, corrosion, and odor penetration. We secure your property, assess immediate safety concerns, and begin damage mitigation right away.
Our emergency response includes temporary board-up services if needed, water extraction if fire suppression caused flooding, and immediate air quality assessment. We understand that smoke damage emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, and neither do we.
