You walk into a home that smells fresh again. The walls are clean, the air is safe to breathe, and that lingering smoke odor is completely gone. Your family can return without worrying about respiratory issues or long-term health effects.
Professional smoke damage cleanup doesn’t just remove what you can see—it eliminates the microscopic particles, toxic chemicals, and carcinogens that settle deep into surfaces. You get back a home that’s not just visually restored, but genuinely safe.
The difference is immediate and lasting. No more wondering if the smell will return or if hidden contamination is affecting your family’s health.
We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin homeowners through their worst days and helping them rebuild better. We understand how quickly Wisconsin weather can change and how that affects restoration timelines.
We’re not the cheapest option in Menomonee River Valley—and that’s exactly why you want us. You’re investing in certified IICRC technicians who know the difference between surface cleaning and true restoration. You’re getting advanced equipment that completely eliminates smoke particles, not just masks them.
When your neighbor in Menomonee Falls or your coworker in the River Valley needs restoration work, they call us because we’ve earned that trust one thorough job at a time.
First, we assess everything—not just the obvious damage, but the hidden contamination in your HVAC system, behind walls, and in materials you might not think to check. This comprehensive evaluation determines the full scope of work needed.
Next comes containment and safety setup. We protect unaffected areas and ensure everyone’s safety while we work. Our team uses professional-grade protective equipment because smoke residue contains harmful chemicals and carcinogens.
Then we begin the systematic cleanup: soot removal from all surfaces, deep cleaning of affected materials, and complete deodorization using hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging. We don’t stop until the molecular-level odor sources are eliminated.
Finally, we restore and rebuild any structural elements that couldn’t be salvaged, returning your home to pre-loss condition with materials that meet current building codes.

Your smoke damage cleanup includes complete soot removal from walls, ceilings, and all affected surfaces. We clean or replace carpeting, upholstery, and any porous materials that have absorbed smoke particles. HVAC system cleaning ensures contaminated air isn’t recirculating through your home.
In Menomonee River Valley, we see unique challenges with older homes that have more air leakage, making indoor air filtration less effective during smoke events. That’s why our process includes sealing and comprehensive air purification that addresses these local building characteristics.
We handle the insurance documentation and work directly with your adjuster to ensure proper coverage. Our detailed reporting meets industry standards and helps streamline your claim process. You won’t need to become an expert in restoration terminology or fight for coverage—we advocate for the full scope of work needed.
Contents restoration is included when possible. Items with sentimental value or those that can be effectively cleaned get professional attention in our controlled environment, then return to your home when ready.
You need professional smoke damage cleanup within 24-48 hours after a fire. Smoke residue and soot are highly acidic and can permanently damage surfaces within hours if left untreated.
The longer you wait, the deeper smoke particles penetrate into porous materials like drywall, carpeting, and furniture. What starts as cleanable damage can become permanent staining and structural deterioration. Early intervention also prevents the acidic compounds from etching into metal fixtures and glass surfaces.
We provide 24/7 emergency response specifically because timing is critical for saving your belongings and minimizing restoration costs. Even if the fire department has cleared the scene, smoke damage continues to worsen until professional mitigation begins.
DIY smoke damage cleanup is strongly discouraged and can actually make the problem worse while putting your health at risk. Smoke contains over 200 toxic compounds including carcinogens, and improper cleaning spreads these contaminants to previously unaffected areas.
Without professional equipment, you cannot remove smoke particles that have penetrated deep into materials. Standard household cleaners and methods often push soot deeper into surfaces or cause permanent staining. Additionally, your insurance coverage could be rejected if you attempt cleanup yourself without proper documentation.
Professional restoration requires specialized equipment like HEPA filtration systems, hydroxyl generators, and thermal fogging units that aren’t available to consumers. We also know which materials can be saved versus which need replacement—knowledge that prevents costly mistakes and ensures thorough restoration.
Yes, professional smoke damage restoration can completely eliminate smoke odors when done correctly. We use advanced deodorization methods like hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging that break apart odor-causing molecules at the source rather than just masking them.
The key is addressing all affected materials, including hidden areas like inside walls, HVAC systems, and subflooring where smoke particles settle. Surface cleaning alone won’t eliminate odors because smoke penetrates porous materials and can remain trapped for years without proper treatment.
Our process includes testing to confirm complete odor elimination before we consider the job finished. We don’t rely on air fresheners or cover-up methods—we use molecular-level deodorization that ensures the smell won’t return when temperatures or humidity levels change.
Smoke damage cleanup typically costs between $425-$1,800 for most residential properties, though extensive damage can cost more. The final price depends on the affected square footage, severity of contamination, and specific services required for your situation.
Factors that influence cost include the type of materials affected (porous surfaces like carpet and drywall cost more to clean), whether HVAC systems need cleaning, and if any structural repairs are necessary. Properties with smoke damage throughout multiple rooms or floors naturally require more time and resources.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire and smoke damage restoration, and we work directly with your insurance company to handle documentation and billing. We provide detailed estimates upfront and help you understand what your insurance will cover, so there are no surprises during the restoration process.
Smoke residue contains microscopic particles, toxic chemicals, and carcinogens that can cause immediate and long-term health problems. Short-term exposure leads to respiratory irritation, coughing, difficulty breathing, and eye irritation, especially for family members with asthma or existing respiratory conditions.
Long-term exposure to smoke residue can cause more serious health issues including respiratory infections, lung damage, and increased risk of cardiovascular problems. Children and elderly family members are particularly vulnerable because their immune systems are more sensitive to these toxins.
Professional cleanup with HEPA filtration and proper containment is essential to make your home safe again. We don’t just clean visible soot—we eliminate the invisible particles and chemical residues that pose the greatest health risks. Our restoration process ensures your indoor air quality meets safety standards before your family returns.
Light smoke cleaning typically takes 3-5 days, while extensive damage requiring structural repairs can take several weeks. The timeline depends on factors like the size of affected areas, severity of contamination, and whether reconstruction is needed.
Our process includes initial assessment (same day), containment and safety setup (1-2 days), cleaning and deodorization (2-5 days), and final inspection and testing. If structural repairs or reconstruction are needed, that adds additional time based on the scope of work required.
We provide a clear timeline after the initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process. Most homeowners can return to unaffected areas of their home during restoration, though severely damaged properties may require temporary relocation until air quality testing confirms the space is safe for occupancy.
