Fire damage doesn’t have to mean starting over. When flames, smoke, and water damage hit your Riverwest home, you’re dealing with more than just what you can see. The smoke residue seeping into walls, the water damage from firefighting efforts, the overwhelming smell that seems impossible to eliminate.
You get your life back. Your home becomes safe again. The lingering smoke odor disappears completely, structural damage gets properly repaired, and your property returns to its pre-fire condition—often better than it was before.
That’s what happens when fire damage restoration is done right. Not just cleaned up, but actually restored.
We’ve been serving the Milwaukee metro area for years, including Riverwest families who’ve faced the devastating effects of fire damage. We’re not some distant corporate chain—we’re your neighbors, and we understand what fire damage means to this community.
Riverwest has seen its share of fire incidents, from electrical failures to more serious situations. We’ve responded to emergency calls throughout the neighborhood, working with homeowners and local businesses to restore what matters most.
When fire strikes, you need someone who shows up fast, works efficiently, and actually cares about getting your life back to normal.
First, we assess everything—not just the obvious damage, but the hidden issues that can cause problems later. Smoke travels through walls, water seeps into places you can’t see, and structural damage isn’t always visible.
Next comes debris removal and cleanup. We remove damaged materials safely and clear the space for proper restoration. Then we tackle the smoke and soot cleanup using specialized equipment that eliminates odors at the source, not just covers them up.
Water extraction and drying comes next because fire damage almost always means water damage too. Finally, we handle the reconstruction—from drywall and flooring to electrical and plumbing work. You get one team handling everything from start to finish.

Fire damage restoration in Riverwest means dealing with Wisconsin’s unique challenges. Our cold winters can complicate water damage from firefighting efforts, and the area’s older homes often require specialized restoration techniques.
We handle fire damage, smoke damage, soot removal, water extraction, odor elimination, and complete reconstruction. That includes working with your insurance company to make sure claims are handled properly and payments are processed quickly.
Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood has a mix of historic homes and newer construction, each requiring different restoration approaches. We’ve worked on century-old houses with unique architectural features and modern homes with complex electrical systems. Every project gets the attention it deserves.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Riverwest and can typically arrive on-site within hours of your call. Time is critical with fire damage because smoke residue continues causing damage, water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth, and structural issues can worsen.
Our emergency response includes securing your property, assessing immediate safety concerns, and beginning the restoration process right away. We understand that fire damage doesn’t wait for business hours, which is why our team is always ready to respond.
The faster we can start the restoration process, the more we can save and the less expensive your overall restoration becomes.
Complete fire damage restoration covers everything from initial emergency response through final reconstruction. This includes smoke and soot cleanup, water extraction and drying, odor elimination, debris removal, structural repairs, and rebuilding damaged areas.
We also handle content cleaning and restoration for your belongings, work with your insurance company throughout the process, and provide temporary services like board-up or tarping if needed. Our goal is to handle every aspect of restoration so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.
Many fire damage situations also involve water damage from firefighting efforts, so we address both issues simultaneously to prevent additional problems like mold growth.
Smoke odor elimination requires more than just covering up smells with air fresheners or cleaning products. Smoke particles penetrate deep into walls, furniture, carpeting, and even your HVAC system, which means surface cleaning isn’t enough.
We use specialized equipment including ozone generators, thermal fogging, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor-causing particles at the molecular level. This process also involves cleaning or replacing air ducts, treating affected surfaces with specialized sealers, and sometimes removing materials that can’t be properly cleaned.
The key is identifying everywhere smoke has traveled throughout your home and treating each area appropriately. That’s why our assessment process is so thorough—we need to find every source of odor to eliminate it completely.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including not just the fire damage itself but also water damage from firefighting efforts and additional living expenses while your home is being restored. However, coverage details vary significantly between policies.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the restoration process, providing detailed documentation, photos, and estimates to support your claim. Our experience with insurance procedures helps ensure claims are processed efficiently and you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
We can also work with you if you have coverage gaps or if certain aspects of the damage aren’t fully covered. The important thing is getting your home restored safely and properly, and we’ll help you navigate the financial aspects.
Fire damage restoration timelines depend on the extent of damage, the size of your home, and what needs to be rebuilt. Simple smoke cleanup might take a few days, while major structural restoration can take several weeks or months.
We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment, breaking down each phase of the restoration process. Emergency services like water extraction and property securing happen immediately, while reconstruction phases are scheduled to minimize disruption to your life.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and any timeline adjustments needed. Our goal is to restore your home as quickly as possible while ensuring every step is done properly and safely.
Yes, we specialize in handling both fire and water damage simultaneously, which is important because most fire damage situations also involve significant water damage from firefighting efforts. This dual expertise means you get one team handling all aspects of restoration instead of coordinating multiple contractors.
Water damage from firefighting can be just as destructive as fire damage if not addressed quickly. Standing water leads to mold growth, warped flooring, damaged drywall, and structural issues. We address both problems using the same systematic approach.
Our equipment and training cover everything from smoke cleanup and odor elimination to water extraction, drying, and mold prevention. This comprehensive approach ensures your home is fully restored and safe for your family.
