Fire damage goes far beyond what you can see. Smoke penetrates walls, soot settles into every surface, and water from firefighting efforts creates secondary problems that compound quickly without proper intervention.
You need your property restored to exactly how it was before the fire—or better. That means eliminating every trace of smoke odor, removing all soot residue, and addressing structural damage with precision. It means getting your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
Our comprehensive fire damage restoration process handles everything from initial safety assessment through final reconstruction. You’ll work with certified technicians who understand the unique challenges Wisconsin properties face after fire damage, and who know exactly how to restore your Harbor View home or business completely.
Flood Guys Restoration has been serving Harbor View and surrounding Wisconsin communities with reliable fire damage restoration services. We understand the specific challenges Wisconsin properties face—from the construction materials commonly used in our region to the insurance requirements that apply here.
Our team knows Harbor View’s building codes, works directly with local fire departments, and maintains relationships with the insurance companies that serve our community. This local knowledge makes a real difference when you’re dealing with the aftermath of a fire.
We’re not just another restoration company. We’re your neighbors, and we’re committed to helping families and businesses in Harbor View recover completely from fire damage.
First, we conduct a thorough safety inspection to assess structural integrity and identify all fire, smoke, and water damage. This includes areas you might not expect—smoke travels through HVAC systems and can affect rooms that weren’t directly touched by flames.
Next, we secure your property with boards and tarps to prevent further damage while we work. We then begin debris removal and start the cleaning process, using specialized equipment to eliminate smoke odors and remove soot from all surfaces.
Our restoration work includes both cleaning and reconstruction. We handle everything from replacing damaged drywall and flooring to addressing electrical and plumbing systems affected by the fire. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed about progress and timelines.
The final step is a comprehensive inspection to ensure every aspect of the restoration meets our standards and yours. You’ll receive a property that’s been restored to its pre-loss condition—clean, safe, and ready for you to move forward.

Your fire damage restoration includes emergency response, complete damage assessment, debris removal, smoke and soot cleanup, odor elimination, water damage mitigation, structural repairs, and content restoration. We handle both the immediate emergency response and the long-term reconstruction work.
In Harbor View, we see fire damage from various causes—cooking accidents, heating equipment failures, and electrical issues are the most common. The top causes of home fires include cooking, heating appliances, home electrical wiring, smoking, and candles, with cooking leading to the most home fires, causing 46 percent between 2010 and 2014, while electrical failure or malfunction rounds out the top three causes of house fires.
Each type of fire creates different restoration challenges. Kitchen fires often involve grease and require specialized cleaning techniques. Electrical fires may necessitate extensive rewiring and safety upgrades. We have experience with all types of fire damage and adapt our approach based on the specific circumstances of your situation.
We also work directly with your insurance company throughout the process, providing detailed documentation and estimates to help ensure your claim is processed smoothly and completely.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Harbor View and can typically arrive on-site within hours of your call. Recovering from a house fire involves more than just removing charred debris. Smoke odors, soot, and water used during firefighting efforts can all leave lasting damage if not addressed properly.
Time is critical after a fire because damage continues to worsen even after the flames are out. Smoke residue becomes more difficult to remove the longer it sits, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours. Our rapid response helps minimize this secondary damage and starts the restoration process immediately.
When we arrive, we’ll conduct an immediate safety assessment, secure your property, and begin the mitigation process right away. This quick action can save you thousands of dollars in additional damage and significantly reduce your overall restoration timeline.
Fire damage restoration costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage, size of the affected area, and specific restoration requirements. While it’s a complex process to restore a property after fire damage, knowing what it will cost is an important first step. Sound estimates require careful evaluations, from which homeowners or businesses can identify critical next steps. Whether you need to focus on urgent repairs or long-term restoration requirements, a detailed estimate of costs helps make recovery more seamless.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all restoration costs so you understand exactly what’s included. Most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, and we work directly with insurance companies to help ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Our estimates include emergency services, cleaning and deodorization, structural repairs, and content restoration. We use insurance-approved estimating software to ensure accuracy and help expedite your claim approval. We’ll also explain what portions may be covered by insurance versus any out-of-pocket expenses you might face.
Certain restoration projects can take weeks, particularly when extensive, costly repairs are necessary, and restoration projects can take weeks and months to complete. The timeline depends on the severity of damage, size of your property, and complexity of required repairs.
Minor fire damage with limited smoke exposure might be completed in a few days to a week. More extensive damage requiring structural repairs, electrical work, or major reconstruction can take several weeks or months. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Factors that affect timeline include permit requirements, insurance approval processes, availability of materials, and weather conditions that might impact certain types of work. We work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards necessary to ensure your property is properly restored and safe for occupancy.

Yes, complete odor elimination is a critical part of our fire damage restoration process. We use advanced cleaning and deodorizing tools as well as industrial air-movers and fans to remove harmful smoke damage and soot residue. We guarantee that we will completely eliminate any and all odors in the aftermath of a fire of any size. Our aim is to eliminate airborne toxins and fumes leftover from the fire and smoke damage and to leave your home smelling fresh.
Smoke odor removal requires specialized equipment and techniques because smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and fabrics. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators depending on the specific situation and materials affected.
Our process also includes sealing surfaces where necessary and replacing materials that cannot be adequately deodorized. We don’t consider the job complete until all smoke odors have been eliminated and your property smells clean and fresh. This thorough approach ensures the odors don’t return after we leave.
