You walk back into a home that smells clean, looks normal, and feels safe. No lingering smoke odors creeping through your HVAC system. No soot stains on your walls or belongings. No wondering if you missed something that could cause problems later.
That’s what complete smoke damage restoration looks like. Your property gets returned to its pre-damage condition, and you get your peace of mind back. The air quality issues that made your space unlivable are gone, replaced by the clean, fresh environment you deserve.
We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin communities for over three decades. We understand what Washington Heights residents face when smoke damage strikes—whether from house fires, kitchen accidents, or the wildfire smoke that’s become increasingly common in our area.
Our IICRC-certified technicians know Wisconsin homes. They know how smoke behaves in our climate, how it penetrates different building materials, and what it takes to remove every trace. When insurance companies need reliable smoke damage cleanup in Washington Heights, they call us.
First, we assess the full scope of smoke damage throughout your property. Smoke travels everywhere—through HVAC systems, into wall cavities, behind cabinets. Our inspection finds all of it.
Next, we secure the area and begin smoke particle removal using industrial-grade air scrubbers and specialized equipment. We clean all affected surfaces, from walls and ceilings to furniture and belongings, using techniques specific to different types of smoke residue.
Finally, we address odor elimination at the source. This isn’t about masking smells—we use ozone treatment and other advanced methods to neutralize odor-causing particles completely. You get your property back when it’s truly clean, not just when it looks clean.

Washington Heights residents face unique challenges with smoke damage. Our area’s older homes often have complex ventilation patterns that spread smoke quickly. The humidity levels common in Wisconsin can make smoke odors particularly stubborn. We address these local factors in every restoration project.
You also get direct insurance billing, emergency board-up services if needed, and coordination with contractors for any structural repairs. One call handles everything from initial cleanup through final reconstruction.
Most residential smoke damage cleanup projects in Washington Heights take 3-7 days, depending on the extent of damage and size of your property. Small, localized smoke damage might be completed in 2-3 days, while whole-house smoke exposure can take up to two weeks.
The timeline depends on several factors specific to your situation. How far the smoke traveled, what materials were burned, and whether water damage occurred during firefighting efforts all affect the restoration process. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment, so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, we can eliminate smoke odors from HVAC systems using specialized cleaning techniques and equipment. Smoke particles settle throughout your ductwork and on system components, continuing to circulate contaminated air long after the initial fire.
Our process includes cleaning all accessible ductwork, replacing air filters, and treating the entire system with odor-neutralizing agents. For severe contamination, we may recommend duct replacement in affected sections. The goal is ensuring your heating and cooling system distributes clean, odor-free air throughout your Washington Heights home.
Soot damage involves visible black residue that settles on surfaces, while smoke damage includes both visible particles and invisible odor-causing compounds that penetrate materials. Both require different cleaning approaches and specialized equipment.
Soot cleanup focuses on removing the physical particles using specific cleaning solutions and techniques for different surface types. Smoke damage restoration goes deeper, addressing particles embedded in porous materials like drywall, fabric, and wood. We handle both aspects using appropriate methods for each type of contamination, ensuring complete restoration of your Washington Heights property.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover smoke damage cleanup when the damage results from a covered peril like fire. However, coverage details vary significantly between policies and insurance companies.
We work directly with insurance adjusters to document damage, provide detailed estimates, and ensure proper claim handling. Our team handles the paperwork and communication with your insurance company, making the claims process as smooth as possible. We’ll review your policy details and explain what’s covered before beginning any work on your Washington Heights property.
In most cases, you should not occupy areas undergoing active smoke damage cleanup due to airborne particles and cleaning chemicals. The restoration process temporarily increases particle levels and involves industrial equipment that makes spaces unsuitable for normal living.
We can often isolate work areas to allow partial occupancy of unaffected sections, depending on your home’s layout and the extent of damage. For extensive smoke damage throughout your Washington Heights home, temporary relocation is usually necessary. We’ll discuss occupancy options during our initial assessment and help coordinate alternative accommodations if needed.
Preventing mold growth requires immediate moisture removal and environmental controls, which we implement as part of our standard smoke damage restoration process. Fire suppression efforts often leave significant water damage alongside smoke contamination, creating ideal conditions for mold development.
We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to eliminate excess humidity quickly. All wet materials are dried or removed within 24-48 hours to prevent mold establishment. Our team monitors moisture levels throughout the restoration process, ensuring your Washington Heights property maintains conditions that prevent mold growth while we complete smoke damage cleanup.
