Next comes comprehensive damage assessment. Our technicians evaluate fire, smoke, soot, and water damage throughout your property. We identify hidden damage that could cause expensive problems later and create a detailed restoration plan that addresses everything properly the first time.
Then we begin actual restoration work. Professional smoke and soot removal using specialized equipment. Water extraction and structural drying if firefighting efforts caused secondary damage. Deep cleaning and deodorizing of every affected surface. Structural repairs where fire compromised building materials.
Finally, we complete reconstruction, returning your Hales Corners property to pre-loss condition with quality materials and craftsmanship. You get a detailed final inspection and documentation for your insurance company.

Fire damage restoration involves much more than cleaning up visible damage. Smoke penetrates deep into walls, HVAC systems, and porous materials. Soot creates acidic residues that continue damaging surfaces weeks after the fire. Water used to extinguish flames creates secondary damage that must be addressed immediately to prevent mold growth.
In Hales Corners, we deal with specific restoration challenges. The area’s humidity levels can complicate drying processes and increase mold risk following water damage from firefighting efforts. Seasonal temperature variations affect how quickly certain restoration steps can be completed safely.
Our comprehensive fire damage restoration includes emergency board-up and property securing, complete smoke and soot removal from all surfaces, water extraction and structural drying, professional odor elimination using advanced deodorization equipment, content cleaning and pack-out services, structural repairs and complete reconstruction, and final inspection ensuring everything meets quality standards. We handle all insurance documentation and communication, so you can focus on getting your life back to normal instead of fighting with adjusters.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Hales Corners and typically arrive on-site within 60-90 minutes of your call. Speed matters after a fire—smoke and soot continue causing damage even after flames are extinguished, and water used by firefighters can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours if not properly addressed.
Our immediate response includes property securing with emergency board-up and tarping, water extraction if firefighting caused flooding, and beginning damage assessment. The faster we start restoration, the more of your property and belongings we can save, and the lower your total restoration costs typically are.
We don’t make you wait until business hours or schedule appointments days later. When fire damage happens, we respond immediately because we understand that every hour of delay means more damage and higher costs for you.

Complete smoke odor elimination requires professional equipment and techniques that go far beyond surface cleaning or air fresheners. Smoke particles are microscopic and penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, fabrics, and even concrete. Masking odors with sprays doesn’t solve the problem—it just covers it temporarily.
We use thermal fogging to neutralize odor molecules in hard-to-reach areas, ozone treatment for severe contamination, and hydroxyl generators that break down odor compounds at the molecular level. Our process includes cleaning all surfaces with specialized detergents designed for smoke residue, treating HVAC systems and ductwork where particles accumulate, and sealing porous surfaces when necessary to prevent odor migration.
For severe smoke damage, we may need to remove and replace materials like drywall, insulation, or flooring that have absorbed too much contamination to clean effectively. Our goal is complete odor elimination—not just reducing smells, but eliminating them entirely so you can live comfortably without constant reminders of the fire.
You’d be surprised what can be restored with professional techniques and equipment. We’ve successfully saved furniture, electronics, documents, artwork, and textiles that homeowners thought were complete losses. The key factors are damage severity, material type, and how quickly restoration begins.
Hard surfaces like tile, stone, and metal can usually be cleaned and restored effectively. Wood items depend on charring depth and smoke penetration—surface damage often cleans up beautifully while deep charring may require replacement. Fabrics and upholstery often respond well to specialized cleaning, though items with severe heat damage need replacement. Electronics require immediate attention to prevent corrosion from smoke residues.
Our content restoration specialists evaluate each item individually using established industry standards. We provide detailed inventories showing what can be restored, what should be replaced, and cost-benefit analysis for borderline items. Our goal is saving everything safely possible while ensuring your health isn’t compromised by inadequate cleaning. Sometimes replacement is the right answer, but often we can save much more than you’d expect.
