Fire damage restoration in the Menomonee River Valley area requires understanding both the immediate damage and the long-term effects that many homeowners miss. Smoke travels through your home’s ventilation system, affecting rooms that never saw flames. Water used to extinguish the fire creates secondary damage that can lead to mold if not properly addressed.
Our service includes debris removal, structural cleaning, smoke odor elimination, water extraction and drying, content cleaning and restoration, and complete reconstruction when needed. We work directly with your insurance company using approved estimation software that speeds up claim approval.
Wisconsin’s climate means we also address the specific challenges of fire damage in our region—from frozen pipes that burst during winter fires to humidity issues that complicate the drying process during summer months.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically be on-site within hours of your call. Time is critical in fire damage restoration because smoke and soot continue causing damage even after the fire is out, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Our rapid response includes immediate property securing, water extraction if needed, and assessment of the full scope of damage. The faster we start the restoration process, the more of your property and belongings we can save, and the lower your overall restoration costs will be.
Most homeowners insurance policies do cover fire damage restoration, but the specifics depend on your policy terms and the cause of the fire. We work directly with insurance companies and use their approved estimation software to streamline the claims process and help ensure you receive appropriate coverage.
We document all damage thoroughly, provide detailed reports that insurance companies require, and can help you understand what’s covered under your specific policy. Our experience with insurance claims in the Menomonee River Valley area means we know how to present your claim in a way that maximizes your coverage while ensuring all necessary work gets approved.
We handle all types of fire damage, from small kitchen fires to major structural fires. This includes direct fire damage, smoke damage throughout your property, soot removal from all surfaces, water damage from firefighting efforts, and odor elimination that requires specialized equipment and techniques.
Our restoration covers everything from cleaning personal belongings and furniture to major reconstruction work like drywall replacement, flooring installation, and even complete room rebuilds. We also address the hidden damage that many people don’t realize exists, like smoke infiltration in HVAC systems or water damage in wall cavities that can cause problems months later if not properly addressed.
The timeline varies significantly based on the extent of damage, but most fire damage restoration projects take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Simple smoke cleanup might be completed in days, while major fires requiring structural repairs can take 4-8 months or longer.
We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process. Factors that affect timing include the extent of structural damage, insurance claim processing time, availability of materials, and whether you need temporary housing during reconstruction. Our goal is to work as efficiently as possible while ensuring every aspect of the restoration meets safety standards and your satisfaction.
Yes, complete smoke odor elimination is a critical part of our fire damage restoration process. Smoke odors don’t just disappear with regular cleaning—they require specialized equipment and techniques like thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at the source.
We clean all surfaces, treat HVAC systems where smoke often circulates, and address porous materials like carpets and upholstery that can trap odors. Our process includes sealing surfaces when necessary and using professional-grade deodorizers that eliminate odors rather than just masking them. We don’t consider the job complete until your home smells clean and fresh, not like it ever had a fire.
First, ensure everyone is safe and don’t enter the property until the fire department clears it as safe. Contact your insurance company to report the claim, then call us for emergency restoration services. Don’t attempt to clean anything yourself, as improper cleaning can actually make smoke and soot damage worse.
If possible, turn off utilities to prevent further damage, but only if you can do so safely. Don’t move any items or begin any cleanup—insurance companies and restoration professionals need to see the damage in its original state for proper assessment and claims processing. Take photos if you can do so safely, but leave everything else for the professionals to handle.
