When fire strikes your Menomonee River Valley home, you’re not just dealing with flames. Smoke penetrates everything, soot settles into surfaces you can’t see, and water from firefighting efforts creates secondary damage that spreads by the hour.
You get your life back when the smoke smell is gone for good, when your family can breathe safely again, and when your home looks and feels like it did before the fire. That means professional-grade equipment removing every trace of soot, advanced deodorization that eliminates odors at the molecular level, and complete structural repairs that restore your property’s integrity.
The difference between quick cleanup and proper restoration shows up months later—either in lingering odors, health issues, or damage that wasn’t properly addressed the first time.
We’ve been serving Wisconsin communities with professional fire damage restoration services, understanding exactly what homeowners in Menomonee River Valley face after fire incidents. We’re IICRC certified professionals who respond 24/7 because fire damage doesn’t wait for business hours.
Wisconsin winters bring unique fire risks—from overloaded heating systems to fireplace accidents to space heater malfunctions. We’ve seen how quickly smoke damage spreads through homes in our area, especially in older properties with unique ventilation challenges.
Our local presence means we understand Menomonee River Valley’s housing stock, from historic homes near the river to newer developments, and we work directly with area insurance companies to streamline your claims process.
First, we secure your property and assess all damage—not just what’s visible. Fire creates multiple types of damage simultaneously, and our initial inspection identifies structural issues, smoke penetration, water damage from firefighting, and air quality concerns.
Next, we remove damaged materials and begin professional smoke and soot cleanup using specialized equipment. This isn’t about masking odors or surface cleaning—we eliminate smoke particles from walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and hidden spaces where contamination settles.
Then we restore and rebuild. Water extraction and drying, structural repairs, complete deodorization, and reconstruction that returns your home to pre-fire condition. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed on progress and timelines.

Your fire damage restoration includes immediate emergency response, complete smoke and soot removal, water damage cleanup from firefighting efforts, structural repairs, content cleaning and restoration, and permanent odor elimination. We handle everything from initial board-up services to final reconstruction.
In Menomonee River Valley, we see specific challenges with fire damage restoration. Older homes often have unique construction materials that require specialized cleaning techniques. Winter fire incidents can complicate drying processes, and our proximity to Milwaukee means we understand urban fire department response protocols and how they impact property damage.
We work with all major insurance companies and provide detailed documentation that speeds up your claims process. Our content pack-out services protect your belongings during restoration, and we coordinate with local contractors when needed for specialized repairs like electrical or plumbing work that may be required after fire damage.
Call immediately—within the first few hours if possible. Fire damage continues even after flames are extinguished because smoke and soot are acidic and will permanently stain and corrode surfaces if not addressed quickly.
Smoke particles continue settling into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and personal belongings. Soot becomes harder to remove as it bonds with surfaces over time. Water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours if not properly extracted and dried.
The first 24 hours are critical for saving more of your belongings and preventing secondary damage that significantly increases restoration costs. Our 24/7 emergency response ensures we can begin stabilization and damage assessment immediately, even in the middle of the night.
Most Wisconsin homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage, including structural repairs, smoke cleanup, water damage from firefighting, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable. However, coverage details vary by policy and specific circumstances.
We work directly with your insurance company to document all damage, provide detailed estimates using industry-standard software like Xactimate, and ensure nothing is missed in the claims process. This includes obvious damage like burned materials and hidden damage like smoke penetration in HVAC systems or structural elements.
It’s important to get professional estimates rather than relying solely on insurance company assessments. We’ve seen cases where initial insurance estimates significantly underestimated the scope of necessary restoration work, and our detailed documentation helps ensure you receive fair compensation for complete restoration.
Yes, professional fire damage restoration can eliminate smoke odors permanently when done correctly. This requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond air fresheners or surface cleaning—we address odor at the molecular level.
We use advanced deodorization methods including hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, and ozone treatment depending on the type and extent of smoke damage. The process also includes deep cleaning of all surfaces, HVAC system cleaning, insulation replacement when necessary, and sealing of porous materials that have absorbed smoke particles.
The key is addressing all sources of odor, including hidden areas where smoke has penetrated. Half-measures or DIY approaches often fail because smoke particles settle in places you can’t see or reach without professional equipment. Our process ensures odors don’t return weeks or months later.
Our complete fire damage restoration includes emergency board-up and property securing, comprehensive damage assessment, debris removal, smoke and soot cleanup, water extraction and drying, structural cleaning and repairs, content pack-out and restoration, complete deodorization, and reconstruction services.
We also handle insurance documentation, provide detailed estimates and progress reports, coordinate with other contractors when needed, and ensure all work meets Wisconsin building codes and IICRC restoration standards. This includes testing for hazardous materials like asbestos or lead that may be disturbed during fire damage.
The process varies by property and damage extent, but typically includes stabilization within hours, cleaning and restoration over several days to weeks, and reconstruction as needed. We keep you informed throughout and ensure you understand each step before we proceed.
Timeline depends on damage extent, but emergency stabilization begins immediately, basic cleaning and deodorization typically takes 3-7 days, and complete restoration including reconstruction can take several weeks to months for extensive damage.
Factors affecting timeline include size of affected area, extent of structural damage, complexity of smoke penetration, water damage from firefighting efforts, and availability of materials for reconstruction. Weather can also impact drying times, especially during Wisconsin winters.
We provide realistic timelines after our initial assessment and update you regularly on progress. Our goal is thorough restoration rather than quick fixes—rushing the process often leads to problems later like returning odors or incomplete repairs that cause ongoing issues.
Generally no, especially during initial cleanup phases. Smoke residue contains harmful chemicals and carcinogens, soot particles can cause respiratory issues, and restoration equipment creates dust and fumes that make indoor air quality unsafe for occupants.
Professional restoration requires powerful equipment, chemical cleaning agents, and processes that temporarily make the environment unsuitable for living. We use containment barriers and air filtration systems to control contamination, but these measures are designed to protect the restoration work, not make areas habitable during the process.
Most homeowners insurance policies include additional living expenses coverage to pay for temporary housing during restoration. We coordinate with your insurance company to ensure you have safe accommodations while we restore your home to a condition that’s safe for your family’s return.
