You walk into rooms that smell fresh, not smoky. Your kids can breathe easily without coughing. Your furniture, walls, and belongings look and smell normal again—like the fire never happened.
That’s what real smoke damage cleanup delivers. We don’t mask odors or wipe down surfaces. We eliminate smoke particles from every corner, crack, and crevice in your Story Hill home. Your HVAC system circulates clean air, not contaminated remnants.
The relief is immediate when you know your home is truly safe again. No lingering health concerns. No wondering about hidden damage. Just your space, completely restored.
We’ve been serving Wisconsin families through their worst days, and we understand what makes Story Hill special. These Tudor Revival homes and Craftsman bungalows aren’t just houses—they’re the architectural gems that give this neighborhood its character.
We’ve restored homes just blocks from American Family Field and along the tree-lined streets near Doyne Park. We know the construction styles common here, built mostly between the 1920s and 1960s, and exactly how smoke penetrates these older structures.
You get local technicians who respond fast because we’re right here in Wisconsin. We handle insurance paperwork because we’ve done this hundreds of times. Most importantly, we treat your Story Hill home like it’s our own.
First, we map every affected area in your home. Smoke doesn’t just stay in one room—it travels through walls, settles in HVAC ducts, and penetrates materials you’d never expect. We find all of it before we start cleaning.
Next, we contain affected areas and remove soot using industrial-grade equipment designed specifically for smoke damage restoration. This isn’t household cleaning—we use specialized tools that most companies don’t even own.
Then we eliminate odors at the source. Our ozone generators and air scrubbers destroy odor-causing particles at the molecular level. We test air quality throughout the process to ensure it meets safety standards.
Finally, we restore everything to pre-damage condition. Whether it’s repainting walls, replacing damaged materials, or deep-cleaning your belongings, we don’t stop until your home is completely normal again.

Smoke damage reaches places you’d never think to look. In Story Hill’s older homes, especially those beautiful 1920s-1940s houses, smoke penetrates deep into original plaster walls, hardwood floors, and vintage architectural details that make these homes unique.
We handle every aspect: complete soot removal from walls and ceilings, professional cleaning of furniture and personal belongings, thorough HVAC system cleaning, and total odor elimination. We also address water damage from firefighting efforts—common in older Story Hill homes where water seeps into original hardwood or settles in basements.
For Story Hill residents, we understand the importance of preserving your home’s historic character while ensuring it’s completely safe. Our restoration process respects the original craftsmanship while using modern techniques to eliminate every trace of smoke contamination.
Most Story Hill smoke damage cleanup projects take 3-7 days, depending on the extent of damage and your home’s size. Smaller incidents affecting one or two rooms typically finish in 2-3 days, while whole-house smoke damage can take up to two weeks.
The age and construction of many Story Hill homes affect timeline. Houses built in the 1920s-1940s often have plaster walls and original hardwood that require specialized cleaning techniques. We also need extra time to properly clean HVAC systems in older homes, since smoke particles settle throughout the ductwork.
We provide a realistic timeline after our initial assessment and update you throughout the process. Our focus is thorough restoration, not speed—we won’t rush steps that ensure your home is completely safe and livable.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover smoke damage cleanup, even if the fire didn’t start in your home. This is especially relevant for Story Hill residents, since the neighborhood’s density means smoke from nearby incidents can affect your property.
We work directly with insurance companies and handle the claims process for you. We document everything thoroughly, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your adjuster to streamline approval and payment.
Many insurance companies prefer working with established restoration companies like us because we follow industry standards and provide transparent documentation. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting your life back to normal instead of fighting with insurance.
Yes, we eliminate smoke odors completely using the right equipment and techniques. Many Story Hill homes present unique challenges—original hardwood, plaster walls, and older ventilation systems where odors hide deep inside materials.
We use industrial ozone generators, hydroxyl generators, and thermal fogging to neutralize odor-causing particles at the molecular level. This isn’t masking odors with fragrances—we eliminate the actual source of the smell.
The process takes longer in older homes because smoke particles penetrate deeper into original materials. But we don’t consider the job finished until your home passes our air quality tests and you’re completely satisfied with the results.
First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared your home for entry. Don’t attempt to clean smoke damage yourself—you could make it worse or expose yourself to harmful particles.
Limit movement through affected areas to prevent soot from spreading to clean parts of your home. If possible, turn off your HVAC system to prevent smoke particles from circulating through ductwork.
Call us immediately for emergency response. The sooner we begin cleanup, the more we can save and the less permanent damage occurs. We’re available 24/7 and typically have a team at your Story Hill home within hours of your call.
Absolutely. Most fire incidents result in both smoke damage and water damage from firefighting efforts. This combination is especially problematic in Story Hill’s older homes, where water seeps into original hardwood floors, basement foundations, and wall cavities.
We handle both issues simultaneously. Our team includes water damage specialists who extract standing water, dry affected areas, and prevent mold growth while our fire restoration experts address smoke and soot damage.
This comprehensive approach is more efficient and cost-effective than hiring separate companies. We coordinate all restoration aspects to get your Story Hill home back to normal as quickly as possible.
Local expertise makes a real difference in smoke damage restoration. We understand Story Hill’s unique housing—the Tudor Revival homes, Craftsman bungalows, and Mediterranean Revival styles that define this neighborhood require specialized knowledge.
We know how smoke behaves in homes built between 1909 and 1963, which represents most of Story Hill’s housing. We understand local building materials, construction methods, and the challenges of working with original plaster, hardwood, and vintage architectural details.
Plus, we’re part of the Wisconsin community. We live and work here, so our reputation depends on excellent work for our neighbors. When you call, you get local technicians who understand your home and neighborhood, not a call center hundreds of miles away.
