Fire doesn’t just burn—it leaves behind smoke, soot, and water damage that keep spreading long after the flames are out. You need your life back, not more complications.
Our systematic approach tackles every aspect of fire damage simultaneously. While other companies focus on one problem at a time, we address smoke removal, structural repairs, and water damage restoration together. This means you’re back in your home weeks sooner, not months later.
The difference is immediate. Within hours of our arrival, we’ve secured your property, extracted standing water, and begun the restoration process that returns your space to pre-fire condition.
We’ve been serving the Milwaukee metro area for years, including the tight-knit community of Hales Corners. We understand the unique challenges Wisconsin homes face—from harsh winters that complicate water extraction to the older home construction common in this historic village.
As a family-owned company, we treat every fire damage call like it’s happening to our own family. Our technicians live and work in these neighborhoods. We’ve restored homes on Janesville Road, helped families near the Village Center, and know exactly how Milwaukee County’s building codes affect your restoration timeline.
You’re not just another claim number to us. You’re our neighbors, and we’re here to help you rebuild.
First, we conduct a comprehensive assessment within hours of your call. Our trained technicians evaluate fire, smoke, and water damage throughout your property—not just the obvious areas. Hidden damage in walls, HVAC systems, and structural components gets identified before it becomes a bigger problem.
Next comes immediate stabilization. We extract standing water from firefighting efforts, secure damaged areas, and begin smoke and soot removal using industrial-grade equipment. This prevents further damage while we work.
Then we tackle the restoration itself. Damaged drywall gets replaced, flooring is restored or replaced, and we address any structural issues the fire may have caused. Throughout this process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you updated on our progress.
Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets safety standards and your satisfaction before we consider the job complete.

Fire damage restoration isn’t just about cleaning up ash. In Hales Corners, where many homes date back to the 1950s and 60s, fire damage often reveals underlying issues that need immediate attention. We handle structural repairs, electrical system evaluation, and HVAC cleaning to remove smoke residue.
Our service includes smoke and soot removal from every surface—walls, ceilings, furniture, and personal belongings. We use specialized techniques like thermal fogging and ozone treatment to eliminate lingering odors that standard cleaning can’t touch. Water damage from firefighting efforts gets addressed immediately to prevent mold growth, which is crucial in Wisconsin’s humid climate.
We also coordinate with your insurance company throughout the process. Our detailed documentation and industry-standard estimation software help speed up claim approval, so you’re not waiting months for reimbursement. From emergency board-up services to final walk-through, we handle every aspect of your fire damage recovery.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout the Milwaukee metro area, including Hales Corners. Our goal is to arrive on-site within 2-4 hours of your call, depending on the time and severity of the situation.
Quick response is critical because fire damage continues to worsen even after the flames are extinguished. Smoke and soot become more difficult to remove the longer they sit, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours. By responding immediately, we can minimize secondary damage and often save items that might otherwise be total losses.
We keep emergency crews and equipment ready around the clock because we understand that disasters don’t wait for business hours. When you call our emergency line, you’re connected directly to our dispatch team who can mobilize our restoration specialists immediately.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage for fire damage restoration, including the cleanup of smoke, soot, and water damage from firefighting efforts. However, coverage details vary significantly between policies and insurance companies.
We work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process. Our technicians document all damage with detailed photos and videos, and we use industry-standard estimation software that insurance adjusters recognize and accept. This approach typically speeds up claim approval and ensures you receive fair compensation for the restoration work.
Our team handles the paperwork and communication with your insurance company, so you don’t have to navigate the complex claims process during an already stressful time. We’ve worked with every major insurance provider and understand exactly what documentation they require for prompt claim resolution.
Fire damage restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage, but most residential projects in Hales Corners take 2-6 weeks from start to completion. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in a few days, while extensive structural damage can require several months.
The restoration timeline depends on several factors: the size of the affected area, the extent of smoke and soot penetration, any structural damage that needs repair, and the time required for insurance approval of major repairs. Water damage from firefighting efforts can also extend the timeline if mold remediation becomes necessary.
We provide detailed project timelines during our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process. Our systematic approach allows us to work on multiple aspects of restoration simultaneously, which often shortens the overall timeline compared to companies that tackle one issue at a time.
Yes, complete smoke odor elimination is possible with the right equipment and techniques. We use a combination of methods including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and specialized cleaning agents designed specifically for smoke residue removal.
Smoke odor isn’t just unpleasant—it can also pose health risks, especially for children, elderly residents, and people with respiratory conditions. Smoke particles penetrate deep into walls, furniture, HVAC systems, and personal belongings. Standard cleaning methods only address surface residue, leaving the odor-causing particles embedded in materials.
Our process includes cleaning and sealing affected surfaces, treating your HVAC system to prevent odor circulation, and using advanced deodorization techniques that neutralize odor molecules rather than just masking them. We don’t consider the job complete until air quality testing confirms that smoke odor has been completely eliminated.
Your safety is the top priority. Don’t enter the property until the fire department declares it safe, and be aware that structural damage may not be immediately visible. Once it’s safe to approach, contact your insurance company and a professional fire damage restoration company immediately.
Avoid attempting to clean smoke or soot damage yourself. Soot is acidic and can cause permanent staining if not handled properly. Don’t use household cleaners on smoke damage, as they can actually set stains permanently. Also, don’t turn on HVAC systems, as they can circulate smoke particles throughout undamaged areas of your home.
If possible, take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t move damaged items or attempt any cleanup. Professional restoration companies have specialized equipment and techniques that are much more effective than DIY methods, and attempting cleanup yourself can sometimes void insurance coverage or make the damage worse.
Absolutely. Water damage from firefighting efforts is often more extensive than the original fire damage, and it requires immediate attention to prevent mold growth and additional structural damage. Our fire damage restoration service automatically includes comprehensive water damage mitigation and restoration.
Wisconsin’s climate makes rapid water extraction especially critical. High humidity levels and temperature fluctuations can accelerate mold growth, which can begin within 24-48 hours after water exposure. We use industrial-grade water extraction equipment and commercial dehumidifiers to remove moisture from all affected materials quickly and thoroughly.
Our technicians are certified in both fire and water damage restoration, so we can address both issues simultaneously rather than requiring separate contractors. This integrated approach is faster, more cost-effective, and ensures that all aspects of your fire damage restoration are properly coordinated and documented for insurance purposes.
