Why Professional Fire Damage Cleanup is Critical

Fires leave behind more than just visible damage. Smoke and soot settle into walls, HVAC systems, and personal belongings within minutes—causing long-term odors and corrosion if not treated by professionals.


Improper cleaning can permanently stain surfaces or spread harmful particles further. In addition, firefighting water often creates hidden water damage and mold risks. That’s why our certified technicians respond quickly to remove moisture, clean all surfaces, and prevent toxic residue buildup.


Professional restoration ensures your property is returned to safe, livable conditions quickly, with all health risks and damage thoroughly addressed.


Our Fire Damage Cleanup Services

Residential Fire Damage Restoration

Home fires—from small kitchen blazes to whole-home structural fires—require skilled restoration to ensure complete recovery. We restore homes throughout Central Connecticut with smoke, soot, and odor cleanup, structural drying , and contents restoration.


We also help coordinate with your insurance provider, including documentation for claims and assistance with temporary housing if your home is uninhabitable. Our team is dedicated to helping families recover quickly and safely.


Commercial Fire Damage Cleanup

When fire affects your commercial property, downtime equals lost revenue. Our team specializes in large-scale commercial fire restoration, minimizing disruptions while restoring your building to full operation.


We handle everything from structural repairs to document recovery and electronics restoration, as well as working with insurance and building code officials. Whether it’s a retail space, office building, or industrial facility, we ensure compliance and fast recovery.


Our 6-Step Fire Damage Cleanup Process

Step 1: Emergency Response and Property Assessment

Our team arrives within 2–4 hours to evaluate the fire damage, document the loss for insurance, and begin planning the restoration process. We inspect structural safety, electrical hazards, and overall site security.


This step ensures a safe, coordinated restoration effort in line with all Connecticut building and safety codes.


Step 2: Property Securing and Board-Up Services

We immediately board up broken windows, tarp exposed roofs, and block off unsafe areas to prevent additional damage from weather, pests, or theft.


This step preserves your property until restoration can begin and ensures no further loss occurs.


Step 3: Water Removal and Structural Drying

Using high-capacity water extraction tools, we remove all standing water from firefighting efforts. Our industrial dehumidifiers and drying systems eliminate moisture trapped in walls, flooring, and substructures.


This prevents mold growth and structural rot—two of the biggest post-fire risks.


Step 4: Smoke and Soot Cleanup

Our certified team uses advanced soot removal tools such as HEPA vacuums and chemical sponges to remove residue from walls, ceilings, floors, and personal belongings.


We also use ultrasonic cleaning and precision methods for delicate or porous surfaces, preventing further damage during cleanup.


Step 5: Deep Cleaning and Sanitization

We clean all affected surfaces using material-specific techniques and disinfectant treatments. HVAC systems are flushed of smoke particles to prevent recontamination.


Personal belongings are inventoried, packed, and cleaned in a controlled environment to ensure total restoration.


Step 6: Odor Removal and Final Restoration

Smoke odors are eliminated using ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and sealing techniques for stubborn materials. Our team completes the process with painting, repairs, and final inspections to ensure your property looks and smells like new.


The goal: return your home or business to pre-loss condition with no lingering odors or damage.


What NOT to Do After Fire Damage

  • Do not  re-enter the building until cleared by fire officials
  • Do not wash walls or surfaces—this may smear soot into paint and make it worse
  • Do not use electronics or appliances exposed to heat or water
  • Do not eat food or canned goods stored near the fire
  • Do not  dry clean smoke-damaged clothing—this can set the stains permanently
  • Do not open windows until professionals assess the air quality—airflow can spread smoke particles
  • Do not touch soot-covered items with bare hands—oils from skin can embed particles
