You walk back into a home that feels like yours again. The smoke smell is gone. The soot stains are history. The structural damage has been properly repaired, not just covered up.
That’s what happens when fire damage restoration is done right. No lingering odors that come back when it rains. No corners cut that cause problems later. Just thorough, professional work that stands up over time.
Your insurance company gets the documentation they need. Your family gets their peace of mind back. And you get to focus on moving forward instead of dealing with restoration headaches that drag on for months.
We’ve been helping Wisconsin homeowners recover from fire damage with the kind of service that actually makes sense during a crisis. We’re not the biggest restoration company in the state, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will and does what we promise to do.
Our team understands that every fire is different. A kitchen grease fire creates different challenges than an electrical fire or a chimney fire. We’ve seen them all in Wisconsin homes, and we know how to handle each situation properly.
When you call us, you get straight answers about what needs to be done, how long it will take, and what it will cost. No sales pitches. No unnecessary add-ons. Just honest assessment and professional work.
First, we assess everything. Not just the obvious damage you can see, but the hidden problems that cause issues later – smoke that penetrated your HVAC system, water damage from firefighting efforts, and structural concerns that need immediate attention.
Next, we secure your property and start the cleanup process. This means removing damaged materials that can’t be saved, extracting any standing water, and beginning the smoke and soot removal process. We use professional-grade equipment designed specifically for fire restoration, not generic cleaning tools.
Then we rebuild and restore. This is where experience matters most. We know which materials work best in Wisconsin’s climate, how to prevent mold growth during the restoration process, and how to coordinate with your insurance company so you don’t get stuck in the middle of disputes.
Throughout the entire process, you know exactly what’s happening and when. No surprises, no delays you weren’t warned about, and no work that starts without your approval.

Fire damage isn’t just about what burned. In Concordia and throughout Wisconsin, we regularly handle the full scope of what fire does to a property – structural damage, smoke infiltration, soot contamination, and water damage from firefighting efforts.
Many Wisconsin homes built in the early to mid-20th century face unique challenges after a fire. Older electrical systems, traditional building materials, and settled foundations require specialized knowledge to restore properly. We understand these local construction characteristics and plan our restoration approach accordingly.
We also handle the insurance coordination that trips up many homeowners. Wisconsin’s weather patterns and building codes create specific requirements for fire damage claims. We document everything properly, work directly with adjusters, and ensure your claim covers what actually needs to be done – not just what looks obvious on the surface.
Our service includes emergency board-up, smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, structural drying, content cleaning and restoration, and complete reconstruction. Everything needed to get your property back to pre-loss condition, handled by one team that coordinates every step.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Fire damage gets worse every hour it’s left untreated – smoke continues to penetrate surfaces, water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth, and structural damage can become more severe.
Our rapid response focuses on stopping additional damage first. We’ll secure your property, extract any standing water, and begin the smoke removal process immediately. This prevents the kind of secondary damage that turns a manageable restoration into a major reconstruction project.
Time matters with fire damage, which is why we don’t make you wait for normal business hours or schedule appointments days out. When you have fire damage, you get our immediate attention.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, but coverage varies significantly based on your specific policy and the cause of the fire. We work directly with insurance companies throughout Wisconsin and understand how to document damage properly for claims processing.
We provide detailed assessments that clearly separate covered damage from pre-existing conditions. This prevents disputes that delay your restoration and ensures you get the full benefits your policy provides. We also understand Wisconsin’s specific building codes and insurance requirements that affect fire damage claims.
Our team handles the insurance documentation, works with adjusters during inspections, and provides the detailed estimates insurance companies require. This takes the paperwork burden off you during an already stressful time and helps ensure your claim is processed efficiently.
Smoke odor removal requires more than air fresheners or surface cleaning. Smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and ductwork. We use professional-grade ozone generators, thermal fogging, and specialized cleaning compounds designed specifically for smoke remediation.
The key is treating the source, not just masking the smell. We identify all affected areas through thorough testing, then use the appropriate technique for each material. Some items can be cleaned in place, others need to be removed and cleaned off-site, and some materials need complete replacement.
Our process includes cleaning your HVAC system, which often spreads smoke throughout the house long after the fire is out. We also seal surfaces where smoke has penetrated to prevent odors from returning months later. The goal is complete elimination, not temporary improvement.
Fire damage involves actual burning – charred materials, melted items, and structural damage from heat and flames. This requires removal of destroyed materials, structural repairs, and often complete reconstruction of affected areas.
Smoke damage affects areas that didn’t burn but were exposed to smoke and soot. This includes discoloration, odor penetration, and corrosive damage to metals and electronics. Smoke can travel throughout your entire house, affecting rooms far from where the fire occurred.
Both types of damage require different restoration approaches and equipment. Fire damage focuses on structural repair and rebuilding. Smoke damage emphasizes deep cleaning, odor removal, and surface restoration. Most fire incidents involve both types of damage, which is why comprehensive restoration requires expertise in handling each type properly.
Restoration time depends on the extent of damage, but most residential fire restoration projects in Wisconsin take 2-6 weeks from start to finish. Small fires with minimal structural damage might be completed in a week, while major fires requiring reconstruction can take several months.
Wisconsin’s climate affects restoration timing, especially during winter months when materials take longer to dry and some reconstruction work may need to wait for better weather. We plan projects around these seasonal factors to avoid delays and ensure quality results.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Rush jobs often create bigger problems later, so we focus on doing the work right rather than just doing it fast. That said, we understand you want to get back to normal as quickly as possible, and we work efficiently to make that happen.
Yes, water damage from firefighting is a major part of most fire restoration projects. Fire departments use thousands of gallons of water to extinguish fires, and this water can cause as much damage as the fire itself if not addressed immediately.
We extract standing water, dry out structural materials, and monitor moisture levels throughout the restoration process. Wisconsin’s humidity levels make proper drying especially important to prevent mold growth, which can start within 24-48 hours after water exposure.
Our team coordinates the fire damage restoration with water damage mitigation as one integrated process. This prevents conflicts between different contractors and ensures all damage is addressed systematically. We use professional-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring equipment to ensure complete drying before beginning reconstruction.
