You’re looking at weeks, not months, to get back to normal. Our fire damage repair process eliminates smoke odors completely, restores structural integrity, and handles every detail from water damage to final cleanup.
Most Brown Deer homeowners are surprised how quickly we can make their house feel like home again. No lingering smoke smell, no visible damage, no safety concerns.
The difference is experience and the right equipment. We’ve been doing this for decades, and we know exactly what it takes to make fire damage disappear completely.
We at Flood Guys Restoration have been helping Brown Deer families recover from fire damage since long before it became trendy to call yourself an “emergency restoration specialist.” We’re IICRC certified, A+ BBB rated, and family-owned.
What that means for you is straightforward communication, fair pricing, and work that’s done right the first time. No surprises, no shortcuts, no excuses.
Brown Deer’s older housing stock—with that 1970 median build year—means we see a lot of electrical fires and heating system issues. We know these homes inside and out, and we know exactly how to restore them properly.
First, we stabilize everything. That means stopping water damage from firefighting efforts, securing the structure, and making sure it’s safe for our crew to work.
Next comes assessment and cleanup. We document every bit of damage for your insurance company, then start removing smoke, soot, and anything that can’t be saved. Our equipment pulls smoke particles out of the air and deep-cleans surfaces you didn’t even know were affected.
Finally, we rebuild and restore. New drywall, flooring, painting—whatever it takes to bring your home back to pre-fire condition. We don’t leave until you’re completely satisfied and ready to move back in.

Your fire damage repair includes structural repairs, smoke odor elimination, soot removal, water damage mitigation, content cleaning, and complete reconstruction. We handle insurance documentation, emergency board-up services, and air quality restoration.
In Brown Deer, we see a lot of kitchen fires and electrical issues in older homes. The challenge isn’t just fixing what burned—it’s dealing with smoke that has penetrated every surface, water damage from putting out the fire, and making sure the electrical or heating system that caused the problem gets properly addressed.
Our equipment includes industrial dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, thermal foggers for odor elimination, and moisture detection tools that find hidden water damage before it becomes a mold problem.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after a fire—every hour of delay means more smoke damage, potential water damage from humidity, and higher restoration costs.
Our rapid response includes immediate stabilization to prevent further damage, emergency board-up services if needed, and water extraction if firefighting efforts left standing water. The faster we can start the restoration process, the more of your belongings we can save and the lower your total restoration costs will be.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage, including smoke damage and water damage from firefighting efforts. We work directly with all major insurance companies and handle the documentation process for you.
Our team photographs all damage, creates detailed estimates using insurance-approved software, and communicates directly with your adjuster throughout the process. We’ve been doing this for decades and know exactly what insurance companies need to approve claims quickly. You shouldn’t have to fight with your insurance company while you’re dealing with fire damage recovery.
Smoke odor elimination requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond air fresheners or surface cleaning. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at the molecular level.
The process includes deep-cleaning all surfaces, treating your HVAC system to prevent odors from circulating, and using professional-grade deodorizers that actually eliminate odors rather than masking them. We also seal porous surfaces when necessary to prevent odors from returning. Our work isn’t complete until you can’t detect any trace of smoke smell in your home.
Cleanup removes debris, soot, and immediate hazards, but restoration brings your home back to pre-fire condition. Many companies only do cleanup and leave you to figure out rebuilding on your own.
Full restoration includes structural repairs, replacing damaged materials, repainting, flooring installation, electrical work if needed, and final inspection to ensure everything meets code and safety standards. We handle the entire process from emergency response through final walkthrough, so you’re not coordinating multiple contractors while dealing with the stress of fire damage recovery.
Most fire damage restoration projects in Brown Deer take 2-4 weeks, depending on the extent of damage and the size of your home. Kitchen fires with minimal structural damage might be complete in 10-14 days, while whole-house fires require 4-6 weeks or more.
The timeline depends on factors like structural damage, smoke penetration, water damage from firefighting efforts, and insurance approval processes. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is quality work completed as quickly as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Yes, water damage from firefighting efforts is often more extensive than the original fire damage, and we handle both simultaneously. Fire hoses and sprinkler systems can leave thousands of gallons of water in your home, leading to structural damage and mold growth if not addressed immediately.
Our water extraction and drying process begins the same day as fire damage assessment. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to ensure your home is completely dry before reconstruction begins. Ignoring water damage after a fire leads to much bigger problems later, including mold remediation costs that could have been prevented.
