Professional fire and smoke damage restoration services to help restore your home after unexpected fire-related damage.
A fire can affect much more than the area touched directly by flames. Smoke, soot, heat, firefighting water, and airborne particles may spread throughout the building, damaging structural materials, furniture, electronics, and personal belongings. Even after the fire has been extinguished, acidic soot residues and moisture can continue to affect surfaces and materials.
PuroClean Restoration Services provides professional fire damage restoration in Lanham, MD, for residential and commercial properties. Our team is available 24/7 to assess the damage, stabilize the building, clean affected areas, address smoke odors, and help property owners move forward after a fire.

Do not enter a fire-damaged property until the fire department or another authorized official confirms that it is safe. Damaged roofing, ceilings, flooring, electrical systems, and structural components may create hazards that are not immediately visible.
The U.S. Fire Administration explains that a property may be damaged by flames, heat, smoke, and the water used during firefighting. It also warns that soot and contaminated water remaining after a fire may present safety and health concerns.
Once access is permitted, contact a professional restoration company as soon as possible. A rapid response can help prevent weather exposure, unauthorized entry, corrosion, staining, odor penetration, and additional water damage.
Our technicians begin by inspecting the building and documenting the areas affected by flames, heat, smoke, soot, and water. We evaluate structural surfaces, flooring, ceilings, walls, ventilation areas, furniture, and other contents to determine what can be cleaned and restored.
The restoration plan may also account for the type of materials that burned. Different materials can produce different residues, and the correct cleaning method depends on the surface, the type of soot present, and the severity of the damage.
Items that can be restored may be cleaned at the property or carefully packed and transported for off-site treatment. Materials that cannot be safely restored will be identified for removal.
Each fire creates a different combination of structural damage, soot contamination, water intrusion, and odor. After completing the inspection, PuroClean develops a restoration plan based on the building’s condition and the needs of the property owner. Services may include:
Smoke particles can travel into adjoining rooms, wall cavities, fabrics, cabinets, and ventilation areas. Covering the odor with fragrance does not remove the underlying contamination. Effective deodorization requires identifying and cleaning the materials where soot and smoke residues have settled.
PuroClean uses professional cleaning products, air filtration devices, and deodorization equipment based on the conditions inside the property. Air filtration devices equipped with HEPA and charcoal filtration may be used to reduce airborne particles and odors while cleaning is performed.
Our technicians may also clean hard surfaces, fabrics, carpeting, furniture, and other salvageable materials. The deodorization method is selected according to the type of smoke, the affected material, and the degree to which the odor has penetrated the property.
When there is limited space to work safely, affected belongings may need to be removed temporarily. During a pack-out, items are inventoried, documented, packed, and transported to a secure location.
Salvageable contents can then be cleaned and deodorized using methods appropriate for each material. Once restoration work at the property is complete, the cleaned items are repacked and returned.
This process can help protect belongings from additional contamination while giving technicians better access to damaged structural areas.
PuroClean can address carpeting and padding affected by soot, smoke, or firefighting water. Materials that remain structurally sound may be professionally cleaned, while heavily damaged or contaminated materials may require removal.
We also provide puffback cleanup. A puffback can occur when an oil- or gas-fired heating system malfunctions and releases soot into the building. The residue may spread across ceilings, walls, vents, baseboards, carpeting, and furnishings. Our technicians identify affected areas and clean the resulting soot deposits using appropriate restoration procedures.
Fire damage restoration may involve property owners, insurance representatives, contractors, and other parties. PuroClean maintains clear communication throughout the project and can provide documentation of affected areas, completed services, cleaned contents, equipment use, and restoration progress.
Our technicians treat each property and its contents with care while working to reduce disruption and restore safe, usable conditions.

What Our Customers Say:
Find answers to common questions about our services
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.
