Fire damage goes far beyond what you can see. Smoke seeps into every corner, soot settles on surfaces you didn’t know existed, and water from firefighting efforts creates new problems you never expected.
You’re not just dealing with burned materials. You’re facing potential structural damage, hidden moisture that breeds mold, and toxic residues that make your home unsafe. The longer these issues sit, the worse they become.
That’s where professional fire damage restoration makes the difference. We handle everything from initial damage assessment to final cleanup, ensuring your Greendale property is completely safe and restored to its pre-fire condition.

Finally, we restore your property to its pre-fire condition. This includes repairing structural damage, replacing materials that can’t be saved, and ensuring everything meets current building codes.

Fire damage restoration in Greendale requires specialized knowledge of local building codes and environmental factors. With Wisconsin’s humidity levels and seasonal temperature changes, water damage from firefighting efforts can quickly turn into mold problems if not handled properly.
We provide complete fire damage restoration services including debris removal, smoke and soot cleanup, water extraction, structural drying, and full reconstruction. Our team understands how different materials in Greendale homes react to fire and smoke damage.
Whether you’re dealing with a kitchen fire that stayed contained or extensive damage that affected multiple rooms, we have the equipment and expertise to handle restoration projects of any size. We work directly with your insurance company to ensure the restoration process moves forward smoothly.
You should begin fire damage restoration immediately after the fire department clears your property as safe to enter. Every hour you wait allows smoke residue to penetrate deeper into materials and water damage to worsen.
Acidic soot can permanently stain surfaces within hours, and moisture from firefighting efforts creates ideal conditions for mold growth within 24-48 hours. The sooner restoration begins, the more of your property we can save and the lower your overall costs will be.
We provide 24/7 emergency response in Greendale specifically because time is critical in fire restoration. Call us immediately after a fire, even in the middle of the night, and we’ll begin securing your property and preventing further damage.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, but coverage varies significantly based on your specific policy terms and the cause of the fire. Accidental fires, electrical fires, and most common causes are typically covered.
Your insurance will likely cover structural repairs, content cleaning and replacement, temporary living expenses, and professional restoration services. However, you’ll need to pay your deductible, and some policies have limits on certain types of coverage.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the Greendale area and can help you understand your coverage, document damage properly, and ensure you receive the maximum benefits available under your policy. This coordination often makes the difference between a smooth claim and a frustrating battle with your insurer.
Professional fire damage restoration includes much more than just cleaning up obvious damage. We start with a comprehensive assessment to identify all affected areas, including hidden damage that isn’t immediately visible.
Our services include debris removal, water extraction from firefighting efforts, smoke and soot removal from all surfaces, odor elimination, structural repairs, and complete reconstruction of damaged areas. We also handle content cleaning and storage for your personal belongings.
Throughout the process, we monitor moisture levels to prevent mold growth, test air quality to ensure safety, and coordinate with your insurance company. The goal is to restore your Greendale property to its pre-fire condition while ensuring it meets all current building codes and safety standards.
Smoke odor removal requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond typical cleaning methods. Smoke particles are microscopic and penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and wood framing.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at the source. This process often requires sealing off areas and running equipment for extended periods to ensure complete odor elimination.
Simply masking odors with deodorizers doesn’t work for fire damage. The smoke particles must be physically removed or chemically neutralized, which is why professional restoration is essential. We guarantee our odor removal process will eliminate smoke smells permanently, not just cover them up temporarily.
After ensuring everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared your property, your first call should be to your insurance company to report the claim. Then contact a professional fire restoration company immediately—don’t wait until business hours.
Do not enter the property until authorities say it’s safe, and avoid disturbing anything once you’re allowed inside. Take photos for your insurance claim, but don’t move or clean anything yet. Improper cleaning can actually make damage worse and may void your insurance coverage.
Avoid using electrical appliances or utilities until they’ve been inspected by professionals. If you must retrieve essential items, wear protective equipment and limit your time inside. The sooner professional restoration begins, the more of your property and belongings we can save.
Fire damage restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage, but most projects take between 1-6 months from start to finish. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in a few weeks, while major structural fires can take several months.
The restoration process includes multiple phases: emergency stabilization, damage assessment, cleanup and mitigation, repairs and reconstruction, and final inspection. Weather conditions, permit approval times, and insurance processes can all affect the timeline.
We provide regular updates throughout the process and work to minimize disruption to your life. For extensive damage that makes your home uninhabitable, we coordinate with your insurance company to arrange temporary housing while restoration is completed. Our goal is to get you back home as quickly as possible while ensuring the work is done properly.
