When smoke invades your home, it doesn’t just stain your walls—it infiltrates everything. Your furniture, your clothes, your air ducts, even the spaces you can’t see. The smell lingers. The particles settle. And every breath reminds you of what happened.
Here’s what changes after professional smoke damage cleanup: You walk into your home and smell nothing but clean air. Your walls are restored to their original condition. Your belongings are salvaged and cleaned properly. The invisible contaminants that trigger headaches and respiratory issues are gone.
You get your sanctuary back. Not a house that smells like smoke with fresh paint covering the problem, but a genuinely restored space where you can breathe freely and feel safe again.
We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin families through their worst days and helping them rebuild. We’re not the company that shows up, quotes you a price, and disappears. We’re the team that understands what you’re going through because we live here too.
Our technicians are IICRC-certified and equipped with industrial-grade equipment that most restoration companies don’t invest in. We’ve seen how smoke damage affects Wisconsin homes—from the way it settles in older construction to how our humidity levels impact the restoration process.
When your neighbors in Westown need smoke damage cleanup, they call us because we do the work right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no leaving you to deal with lingering odors months later.
First, we assess everything—not just what you can see, but what’s hidden. Smoke particles travel through your HVAC system, settle behind walls, and embed in materials you wouldn’t think to check. Our inspection identifies every affected area before we start any work.
Next comes containment and removal. We seal off clean areas to prevent cross-contamination, then systematically remove soot and smoke residue using specialized cleaning agents designed for different surfaces. Your hardwood floors need different treatment than your drywall, and your electronics require completely different handling than your upholstery.
The final phase focuses on what you can’t see—air purification and deodorization. We use hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to break down odor-causing molecules at the molecular level. This isn’t masking smells with air fresheners; it’s eliminating the source completely. When we’re finished, your home’s air quality is restored to pre-fire conditions.

Smoke damage cleanup in Westown involves more than most people realize. We handle structural cleaning—walls, ceilings, floors, and everything smoke touched. We clean and restore your belongings, from furniture to electronics to clothing, using methods specific to each material type.
Your HVAC system gets completely cleaned and deodorized because smoke particles circulate through ductwork and settle in places you can’t reach. We replace filters, clean vents, and ensure your heating and cooling system isn’t spreading contaminated air throughout your restored home.
Wisconsin’s climate creates unique challenges for smoke damage restoration. Our humidity levels can trap odors and slow the drying process, which is why we use commercial-grade dehumidifiers alongside our cleaning equipment. We also understand how smoke interacts with the building materials common in Westown homes, from older plaster walls to modern drywall construction. Every restoration plan is tailored to your specific property and the extent of the damage.
The timeline depends entirely on the extent of the damage and your home’s size. Light smoke cleaning might take 2-3 days, while extensive damage requiring structural work can take several weeks.
Here’s what affects the timeline: how long smoke circulated through your home, what materials were burned, and whether water damage occurred during firefighting. Older Westown homes with plaster walls and intricate woodwork typically require more detailed attention than newer construction.
We provide a clear timeline after our initial assessment, and we update you throughout the process. Most families can return to their homes within a week for moderate damage, but we never rush the process. It’s better to take the time needed to do it right than to have odors return months later.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover smoke damage under both dwelling coverage (for structural damage) and contents coverage (for personal belongings). There’s typically no special cap on smoke damage claims like you might find with mold coverage.
We work directly with insurance companies and provide the detailed documentation they require—photos, moisture readings, scope of work, and Xactimate estimates. This isn’t just helpful for your claim; it’s essential for getting proper coverage without delays.
The key is starting the claims process immediately and having professional documentation from the beginning. Insurance adjusters appreciate working with certified restoration companies because we speak their language and provide the technical details they need to approve your claim quickly.
Yes, when the job is done properly with professional equipment and techniques. We use hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to break apart odor-causing molecules at the molecular level, not just mask them with fragrances.
The difference between professional deodorization and DIY attempts is night and day. Store-bought products cover smells temporarily, but smoke particles are microscopic and embed deep in porous materials. Our equipment reaches these particles and neutralizes them completely.
We guarantee our deodorization work because we use proven methods that work. If you can still detect smoke odors after we’ve completed the restoration, we return to address the issue at no additional cost. Most of our Westown clients tell us they can’t believe how fresh their homes smell after restoration.
It depends on the extent of the damage, but in most cases, you’ll need to stay elsewhere during active restoration work. Smoke particles contain carcinogens and other harmful chemicals that can irritate your lungs and trigger respiratory issues.
Our first priority is always safety. We test air quality and assess structural integrity before determining whether temporary relocation is necessary. Even if the damage seems minor, the cleaning chemicals and equipment we use require proper ventilation and can be disruptive.
Most families find it easier to stay with relatives or in temporary housing for a few days rather than trying to live around restoration work. We coordinate with your insurance company to cover additional living expenses when displacement is necessary for safety reasons.
Improper smoke cleanup leads to permanent damage and ongoing health risks. Smoke residue is acidic and continues eating away at surfaces over time. What looks clean on the surface can harbor particles that cause long-term problems.
You’ll notice persistent odors that get worse in humid weather or when your heating system runs. The smoke particles trapped in your HVAC system will circulate throughout your home every time air moves through the ducts. Over time, this creates respiratory issues and makes your home uncomfortable to live in.
Professional restoration prevents these problems by addressing the source, not just the symptoms. We clean areas you can’t see, treat materials with appropriate methods, and verify our work with air quality testing. It’s the difference between a quick fix and a permanent solution.
Wisconsin’s humidity creates unique challenges for smoke damage restoration because moisture can trap odors and slow the drying process. We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers alongside our standard cleaning equipment to control moisture levels throughout restoration.
Humidity also affects how smoke particles behave in your home. In damp conditions, particles can penetrate deeper into porous materials like wood and fabric, requiring more intensive cleaning methods. We adjust our approach based on current weather conditions and your home’s specific moisture levels.
Our experience with Wisconsin homes means we understand how different building materials react to smoke damage in our climate. Older Westown homes with plaster walls require different treatment than newer construction, and we account for seasonal humidity changes that can affect the restoration process.
