We’ve been serving Hampton Heights and the greater Wisconsin area for years. We’re a local, family-owned company that understands what Wisconsin homeowners face after fire damage.
We’ve seen how quickly smoke can spread through a home’s HVAC system. We know how Wisconsin’s humidity can make smoke odor problems worse if not handled correctly. Our team uses advanced equipment specifically designed for our regional challenges.
You’re not working with a national chain that treats every job the same. You’re working with neighbors who live and work in this community.
We arrive within hours, not days. Our first step is securing your property and assessing the full extent of smoke damage, including areas you might not see.
Next, we remove all soot and smoke residue using specialized equipment. This isn’t just surface cleaning – we target smoke particles that have penetrated walls, ceilings, and your HVAC system.
Then comes odor elimination. We use professional-grade deodorization techniques that don’t just mask smells but eliminate them at the molecular level. Finally, we restore and repair any damaged materials, returning your home to its pre-fire condition.

Your smoke damage cleanup includes complete soot removal from all surfaces, professional odor elimination, HVAC system cleaning, and content restoration. We clean and restore salvageable belongings using specialized techniques.
Hampton Heights homes often have unique challenges. Older homes may have more porous materials that absorb smoke deeper. Newer homes with tighter construction can trap smoke odors longer. We adjust our approach based on your specific property type.
We also coordinate directly with your insurance company. Wisconsin homeowners’ policies typically cover smoke damage, and we make sure you receive full compensation for all eligible repairs and restoration services.
Most Hampton Heights smoke cleanup projects take 3-7 days, depending on the extent of damage and your home’s size. Small, localized smoke damage might be completed in 2-3 days, while whole-house smoke exposure typically requires 5-7 days.
The timeline depends on several factors specific to your situation. Smoke that’s had time to settle requires more intensive cleaning. Homes with forced-air heating systems often need additional time for ductwork cleaning. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment, so you know exactly what to expect.
We work efficiently without cutting corners. Rushing smoke cleanup often means odors return later, which means starting the process over.
Most Wisconsin homeowners’ insurance policies cover smoke damage cleanup when it results from a covered fire loss. This typically includes structural cleaning, content restoration, and temporary living expenses if your home is uninhabitable.
Coverage can vary based on your specific policy and the cause of the smoke damage. Fire damage from lightning, electrical issues, or accidental fires is usually covered. Damage from neglect or maintenance issues might not be covered.
We work directly with insurance adjusters and help document all damage properly. Our detailed reports and photos ensure you receive full compensation for eligible restoration services. We’ve worked with every major insurance company serving Wisconsin homeowners.
Yes, we can eliminate smoke odors completely using professional deodorization techniques. Unlike air fresheners or ozone machines that mask odors temporarily, our process neutralizes odor-causing particles at the molecular level.
We use thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and specialized cleaning agents that break down smoke particles embedded in surfaces. For severe cases, we may need to seal certain surfaces or replace materials that have absorbed too much smoke.
The key is addressing all sources of odor, not just obvious ones. Smoke travels through your HVAC system, into wall cavities, and behind fixtures. Our comprehensive approach ensures odors don’t return weeks or months later.
Soot cleanup focuses on removing the visible black residue left by fire, while smoke damage restoration addresses the broader impact of smoke throughout your property. Soot is just one part of the complete restoration process.
Smoke damage includes invisible particles that penetrate surfaces, create odors, and can cause health issues. These particles settle in areas far from the fire source, including inside HVAC systems, behind walls, and in fabrics throughout your home.
Complete restoration addresses both visible soot and invisible smoke damage. We clean all surfaces, eliminate odors, restore air quality, and repair or replace damaged materials. This comprehensive approach prevents long-term problems that incomplete cleanup can cause.
No, avoid attempting smoke cleanup yourself. Well-meaning efforts often spread soot further or set stains permanently. Dry soot can be pushed deeper into surfaces, and using the wrong cleaning products can make restoration more difficult and expensive.
Professional smoke cleanup requires specialized equipment and techniques. We use HEPA filtration, specific cleaning agents for different types of soot, and proper containment methods to prevent cross-contamination between clean and damaged areas.
Instead, focus on your safety and preventing further damage. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent smoke circulation, avoid touching soot-covered surfaces, and contact professionals immediately. Quick professional response minimizes damage and restoration costs.
HVAC system cleaning is crucial because smoke particles circulate throughout your home every time the system runs. We inspect all ductwork, clean contaminated sections, and replace filters and any damaged components.
The process includes cleaning supply and return ducts, the blower unit, and all registers and grilles. We use specialized equipment to reach deep into ductwork and remove all smoke particles. In severe cases, duct replacement might be necessary.
We also test the system after cleaning to ensure it’s operating safely and efficiently. Smoke damage can affect electrical components and create fire hazards. Our thorough inspection ensures your HVAC system is safe to operate before we complete the restoration project.
