Smoke damage doesn’t just disappear on its own. It settles deep into walls, furniture, and air ducts, creating health risks and persistent odors that get worse over time. Our professional smoke damage cleanup eliminates these problems at the source.
You get complete odor elimination using advanced ozone treatment that actually destroys smoke molecules instead of just masking them. Your historic Riverwest home receives specialized care that understands the unique challenges of older construction and close-quarters living.
The result is air you can breathe safely and a property restored to its pre-damage condition. No lingering smells, no health concerns, no wondering if the job was done right.
We’ve been serving the Milwaukee area with 24/7 emergency restoration services, understanding exactly what Riverwest residents face when smoke damage strikes their homes. We’re a local, family-owned company that knows this neighborhood’s unique housing challenges.
Your historic home built in the 1930s or 1940s requires different expertise than newer construction. We understand how smoke travels through Polish flats, tight-quarters housing, and the close-proximity living that defines this diverse community.
When your neighbors recommend us, they know we’ll treat your emergency with the same care we’d want for our own families. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Riverwest and throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
Our smoke damage cleanup follows a systematic approach designed specifically for thorough restoration. First, we assess the full extent of smoke penetration throughout your property, identifying all affected areas including hidden spaces like air ducts and insulation.
Next, we remove soot and debris using professional-grade equipment, then apply advanced treatments like thermal fogging and ozone therapy to eliminate odors permanently. These methods reach into the smallest crevices where smoke particles hide, something DIY approaches simply can’t accomplish.
Finally, we sanitize and deodorize all surfaces, ensuring your home is not just clean but safe for your family. The entire process typically takes several days to a week, depending on the extent of damage, but you’ll know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

Your smoke damage cleanup includes comprehensive soot removal from walls, ceilings, and furniture, plus deep cleaning of HVAC systems where smoke particles often settle. We use thermal fogging treatment that reaches into hard-to-access areas common in Riverwest’s historic housing.
Professional ozone treatment eliminates stubborn odors by actually breaking down smoke molecules at the chemical level. This isn’t air freshener or masking – it’s permanent odor elimination that addresses the root cause.
In Riverwest’s close-quarters housing environment, smoke damage can affect neighboring units or shared spaces. Our team coordinates with property managers and insurance companies to ensure complete restoration while minimizing disruption to your community. We understand the rental market dynamics and work efficiently to get you back in your home quickly.
Most smoke damage cleanup projects in Riverwest take 3-7 days to complete, depending on the extent of damage and your home’s size. Historic homes with multiple levels or basement apartments may require additional time due to how smoke travels through older construction.
The timeline includes initial assessment, soot removal, deep cleaning, odor elimination treatments, and final inspection. We provide you with a detailed schedule upfront so you can plan accordingly. Emergency situations get priority response, often starting within hours of your call.
Smoke damage cleanup typically costs between $200-$1,200 per room, depending on the severity of damage and treatment methods required. Most Riverwest homeowners spend between $2,000-$6,000 for comprehensive smoke restoration services.
Factors affecting cost include your home’s square footage, extent of smoke penetration, and whether specialized treatments like ozone therapy or thermal fogging are needed. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation and work with your insurance company to maximize coverage. Many homeowner and renter policies cover smoke damage from covered events.
DIY smoke damage cleanup is not recommended and can actually make the problem worse. Smoke particles penetrate deep into materials where household cleaning products can’t reach, and improper cleaning methods can spread contamination or damage surfaces permanently.
Professional equipment like ozone generators and thermal foggers are necessary to eliminate odors completely. Without proper protective gear, you risk exposure to toxic residues and chemicals that can cause serious health problems. Insurance companies often require professional restoration to maintain coverage, making DIY attempts potentially costly mistakes.
When properly treated with professional methods, smoke odors are eliminated permanently and won’t return. Our ozone treatment and thermal fogging actually break down smoke molecules at the chemical level rather than just masking smells.
However, if smoke damage isn’t completely addressed initially, odors can resurface over time. This is why thorough assessment and professional treatment of all affected areas is crucial. We guarantee our odor elimination work and will return if any treated areas develop recurring smoke smells.
Most homeowner and renter insurance policies cover smoke damage cleanup when it results from a covered event like an accidental fire. Coverage typically includes professional restoration services, temporary living expenses, and damaged personal property replacement.
The key is prompt reporting to your insurance company and working with licensed, insured restoration professionals. We assist with insurance claims documentation and communicate directly with adjusters to ensure you receive maximum coverage. Review your specific policy details, as coverage can vary between providers and policy types.
Smoke damage cleanup should begin as soon as it’s safe to enter your property, ideally within 24-48 hours. Smoke residue becomes more difficult to remove over time and can cause permanent staining and corrosion if left untreated.
The longer you wait, the deeper smoke particles penetrate into materials and the more expensive restoration becomes. Immediate professional assessment prevents secondary damage and health hazards from developing. Our 24/7 emergency response ensures we can start the restoration process quickly, minimizing long-term damage to your Riverwest home.
