Fire damage goes far beyond what you can see. Smoke seeps into walls, soot settles on everything, and water from firefighting efforts creates secondary damage that keeps spreading. You’re dealing with a property that feels uninhabitable and a situation that seems overwhelming.
Our fire damage restoration process eliminates smoke odors that won’t go away with regular cleaning. We remove soot from surfaces you didn’t even know were affected. We handle water damage from firefighting efforts before mold becomes another problem you have to face.
The result? You walk back into a space that’s not just cleaned up – it’s fully restored, safe, and ready for you to rebuild your life.
We’ve been handling fire emergencies throughout Franklin’s neighborhoods for years. We know the challenges Franklin properties face – from older homes with unique restoration needs to newer construction with different materials and systems.
Our IICRC-certified technicians have restored fire damage in Franklin’s residential areas, from kitchen fires in family homes to electrical fires in local businesses. We understand Franklin’s building types, insurance requirements, and the urgency families feel when fire disrupts their lives.
When fire strikes your Franklin property, you get a team that knows the area, responds immediately, and has the expertise to handle whatever type of fire damage you’re facing.
We start with a complete fire damage assessment within hours of your call. Our technicians document structural damage, test for smoke penetration in hidden areas, and identify water damage from firefighting efforts. You get a clear understanding of what needs to be done and how long it will take.
Emergency securing comes next if your property needs board-up services or temporary protection. Then we begin aggressive smoke and soot removal using specialized equipment designed for fire restoration. We don’t just clean surfaces – we eliminate smoke particles from air ducts, inside walls, and areas you might not realize were affected.
Structural repairs and final restoration bring your property back to pre-fire condition. We coordinate with your insurance company throughout the process and keep you informed with regular updates so you know exactly what’s happening and when you can move back in.

We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage response throughout Franklin and typically arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Speed matters because smoke and soot continue causing damage even after the fire is out – every hour of delay means more permanent damage to your property and belongings.
Our emergency response includes immediate property assessment, emergency board-up and securing if needed, and beginning smoke removal to stop further contamination. We bring everything needed to start restoration work immediately, not just assess the damage and come back later.
The faster we start, the more of your property we can save. Items that might seem ruined can often be restored if we get to them quickly enough.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including emergency services, smoke cleanup, structural repairs, and temporary living expenses while your home is being restored. Coverage varies by policy, but fire damage is typically well-covered compared to other types of property damage.
We work directly with insurance companies and adjusters to document all damage, provide detailed estimates using insurance-approved software, and ensure you receive full coverage for necessary restoration work. Our documentation includes photos, moisture readings, and detailed reports that insurance companies need for claim approval.
We handle the insurance paperwork and communication so you don’t have to become an expert in insurance claims during an already stressful time. Our goal is to get your claim approved quickly so restoration work can proceed without delays.
Smoke odor elimination requires professional equipment and techniques because smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and furniture. Regular cleaning, air fresheners, and home remedies can’t reach these embedded particles.
We use industrial ozone generators that break down smoke molecules at the chemical level, thermal fogging that reaches the same areas smoke penetrated, and specialized deodorization compounds applied to all affected surfaces. Our process also includes cleaning and treating HVAC systems where smoke particles circulate and settle.
The key is treating smoke odors immediately after fire damage occurs. The longer smoke residue remains, the deeper it penetrates materials and the more difficult complete elimination becomes. That’s why our emergency response includes starting odor elimination work right away.
We handle all types of fire damage common in Franklin, including kitchen fires from cooking accidents, electrical fires from faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, heating system fires from furnaces or fireplaces, and fires caused by lightning strikes during severe weather.
Each fire type creates different damage patterns. Kitchen fires often involve grease that creates thick soot deposits. Electrical fires can cause hidden damage inside walls and affect wiring systems. Heating fires typically spread through ductwork and affect HVAC systems throughout the property.
We also restore damage from firefighting efforts, including water damage from hoses and sprinkler systems, broken windows and doors from emergency access, and smoke damage that spreads throughout the entire property even in areas not directly touched by flames.
Most residential fire damage restoration in Franklin takes 2-4 weeks for complete restoration. Emergency response and initial cleanup typically require 3-5 days, followed by structural repairs and final restoration work depending on the extent of damage.
Minor fires with limited smoke damage might be completed in 1-2 weeks. Extensive fires requiring major structural work can take 6-8 weeks or longer. The timeline depends on the size of affected areas, extent of smoke penetration, structural damage severity, and whether water damage from firefighting efforts occurred.
We provide detailed timelines after our initial assessment and update you regularly as work progresses. Our goal is to complete restoration as quickly as possible while ensuring all work meets safety standards and your insurance requirements.
