What Our Customers Say:
Most fires also have water damage or even mold since water was used to put out the fire. The water damaged, soot filled areas must be removed in order to dry the structure in order to prevent further damage.
Air movers and dehumidifiers are usually needed in order to dry the structure.
If there are walls, carpeting, or ceilings that cannot be saved, we will remove the charred surfaces and debris.
If the walls, floors and ceilings can be cleaned, we will clean them with appropriate smoke odor neutralizers, degreasers or chemical sponges depending on the finishes.
NEVER consume food that may have been exposed to the smoke, heat, or soot. This includes non-perishables!
It depends on your policy. If it’s covered, the insurance company will cover all invoices up to your policy limit, and you’re responsible for the deductible. Contact your insurance broker to find out if this loss is covered.
Wood that does not have a protective layer like polyurethane or a clear coat finish often takes on smoke odor that is hard to remove. Most furniture has a protective layer only on the sides that people see, like the top of the table, but the underside does not have a finish on it. The pores of the wood open up with the heat and then close as it cools, trapping the smoke odor within the wood itself. At PuroClean Restoration Services, we clean the wood and then use an ozone machine to try to get rid of any remaining odors. If necessary, we use an encapsulant to seal in any remaining smoke odors.

After emergency responders extinguish the fire and the scene is secure, your first two calls should be to your insurance company and a certified fire restoration provider, like PuroClean Restoration Services. Insurers require prompt reporting, and restoration professionals can begin mitigation immediately to prevent further loss. Quick action protects both safety and your ability to recover costs through your insurance policy.
Professional odor removal goes beyond surface cleaning. Techniques such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment chemically neutralize odor-causing molecules rather than masking them. These methods are selected based on the type of fire, the materials affected, and whether the property is occupied during restoration. Proper deodorization ensures odors do not return once the property is rebuilt.
Safety comes first. Do not re-enter the property until fire officials confirm it is safe to do so. Once cleared, a local, professional restoration company who will guide you through the process and assist in documentation for your insurance provider. Early steps such as securing the property, extracting water from firefighting efforts, and addressing soot damage help limit further loss and support your insurance claim.
In many cases, yes. Non-porous materials such as glass, metal, and stone often respond well to specialized cleaning. Porous items, including textiles, upholstery, and insulation, are more difficult and may need replacement. The sooner restoration begins, the better the chance of salvaging belongings, since soot and odor residues set deeper over time. Restoration professionals evaluate each item individually to determine whether cleaning or replacement is the best option.
The timeline varies significantly depending on the severity of the fire and the extent of damage. A contained fire in one room may take only a few days to clean and deodorize, while a larger structural fire that requires demolition, reconstruction, and content restoration can take several weeks or even months. The pace of restoration also depends on insurance approvals and the complexity of smoke or water damage.
