Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Lakeville, MN

Fire and Smoke Restoration

1. First, we assess the extent of damage caused by fire, smoke, soot, and the water used to extinguish the fire.
2. Our technicians will remove non salvageable items, like non perishable food and burned clothing. Items that our technicians can save may be restored either on or off site.
3. We will then secure your property from intruders by providing board ups and tarps where needed. 
4. Next, the team removes excess water, and will immediately execute the water damage restoration process.
5. Once the property is dry, our technicians use specialized equipment to remove soot from surfaces and items. Next, we will remove unseen biological and chemical pollutants and smoke odor.
6. Finally, PuroClean of Lakeville removes any remaining smoke, dust, and debris and thoroughly sanitizes the property.

Smoke Damage Restoration & Professional Deodorization

We remove smoke odors with specialized equipment, like foggers, ozone generators, and hydroxyl generators.

Emergency Cleaning & Sanitation

We remove soot, dust, and debris from your property, leaving it clean and fresh.

Pack Outs and Contents Cleaning

We will remove salvageable items affected by the fire and pack out those furnishings and objects. Depending on the available space and the number of items removed, cleaning and restoring those items may occur on site or off site.

Temporary Protection/Board-Up

A fire often affects your home or business’s windows, walls, and roof. Therefore, we will board your windows and cover your roof to protect your space. 

Carpet and Pad Removal

Soot can be very difficult to remove from carpet. Sometimes the carpet is salvageable. If not, we will remove the carpet and padding underneath. 

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Lakeville and the South Metro

Most fires we hear about in the south metro start small: a kitchen fire, a dryer vent, a space heater during a cold snap or a fireplace in the first cold weeks of the season. Even a small fire can push smoke and soot through every level of an open-plan home, and the water used to put it out can soak the basement below. PuroClean of Lakeville handles the soot, the smoke odor and the water together. Call (952) 377-8477, 24/7.

We serve homes and businesses across Dakota and Scott counties, including Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Prior Lake, Savage, Farmington, Rosemount, Eagan and Bloomington. See all of our service areas.

What to Do First After a Fire

1. Wait for the all-clear. Do not re-enter until the fire department says it is safe.
2. Call your insurance agent. Report the loss and ask about temporary housing if you cannot stay in the home.
3. Do not wipe soot. Wiping or vacuuming soot with household tools can smear it deeper into surfaces.
4. Do not run the furnace or AC until the system has been checked, so soot is not spread through the ducts.
5. Secure the property. Broken windows, doors or roof openings should be boarded up or tarped. Call (952) 377-8477.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

1. Assessment. We inspect fire, smoke and water damage throughout the building, not only in the room that burned.
2. Board-up and tarping. Openings are secured to protect the property from weather and entry.
3. Water removal and drying. Water from firefighting is extracted and the structure is dried.
4. Soot and smoke removal. Walls, ceilings and surfaces are cleaned with methods matched to the type of residue.
5. Contents cleaning. Belongings that can be restored are cleaned, and items that cannot are documented.
6. Odor treatment. We treat lingering smoke odor at the source, using deodorization methods suited to the materials.
7. Repair planning. We outline the repairs needed to get the property back to normal.

Firefighting water can lead to mold growth if it is not dried quickly, so we treat the water damage as part of the job from the start.

Fire and Smoke Damage Questions

Is it safe to go back into my house after a fire?

Only after the fire department says it is safe. Smoke, damaged wiring, weakened floors and residue can all be hazards. When you do go in, wear gloves and a mask, and avoid touching soot-covered surfaces.

Why does my house still smell like smoke after cleaning?

Smoke particles get into porous materials such as drywall, insulation, carpet, upholstery and HVAC ductwork. Surface cleaning alone often does not reach them. Odor removal usually combines cleaning, removing affected materials and deodorizing treatments.

Do I also need water damage cleanup after a fire?

Often, yes. Water used to put out a fire can soak floors, walls and basements below the fire area. That water needs to be extracted and dried quickly, the same as any other water loss, to prevent mold.

Can smoke-damaged belongings be cleaned?

Many can. Hard items, many fabrics and some electronics can often be cleaned, while badly charred or heat-damaged items may not be restorable. We help you sort what can be saved and document what cannot.

Will insurance pay for fire and smoke restoration?

Fire is commonly covered by homeowners policies, but your insurer determines coverage and limits. We provide photos and a written scope for your adjuster. Under Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 325E.66), contractors cannot waive or rebate your deductible, and we do not.

What does fire damage restoration involve after the fire is out?

Fire damage restoration starts with a safety check and an assessment of fire, smoke, soot and water damage. From there, fire damage restoration typically means securing the property, removing materials that cannot be saved, cleaning surfaces and treating smoke odor. If you are not sure where to start, call us at (952) 377-8477 and we will walk you through the next steps for fire damage restoration at your property.
