Professional fire and smoke damage restoration services to help restore your home after unexpected fire-related damage.
PuroClean, a fire damage restoration company, is ready to start fire cleanup and restoration at your home, business or commercial property immediately upon arrival. By responding immediately, we can help you minimize claims for structures and personal property.
After the fire is extinguished, contact the fire department for an initial assessment to ensure the building is safe to enter.
After the fire department says the building is secure, make sure you call the following companies:
Clear and open communication is a cornerstone of our service. We strive to keep everyone involved, from our customers to insurance agents, fully informed about the restoration process and how to navigate the aftermath of a fire incident.
Once your insurance company or local fire officials approve damage remediation, our IICRC-trained technicians will assess the damage to your home or business. They will then discuss the extent of the damage and the required repairs with your adjuster. Following this, we will formulate a comprehensive fire damage restoration plan to restore your home, office or commercial property to its pre-loss condition.
Our full-service fire damage restoration services include fire damage repairs, water damage restoration, smoke damage remediation, contents pack-out services and deep cleaning, which may consist of removing soot from walls and thorough cleaning of carpets and upholstery.
Air quality is crucial after a fire incident to ensure a safe and breathable environment. An air scrubber is an essential tool in this process. Scrubbers filter and purify the air. They work by drawing in contaminated air and passing it through filters that capture smoke particles, soot, and other pollutants. This process helps improve indoor air quality and helps reduce the lingering smell of smoke.
Depending on the severity of the fire damage, we will treat the contents of the building in one of the following ways:
What Our Customers Say:
If not addressed promptly, standing water resulting from firefighting efforts or flooding can lead to significant issues, including mold growth. Immediate water removal is crucial to preventing further damage and potential health hazards.
Our Professional restoration teams use advanced techniques and specialized equipment to extract water efficiently and thoroughly dry all affected areas. This step mitigates the risk of mold growth and prepares the structure for any necessary repairs and restoration, ensuring you can safely use it again.
We determine the required number of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure effectively after water damage. The quantity and type depend on the severity of the damage and the area’s size. Proper assessment ensures efficient moisture removal and speeds up the drying process.
Debris removal is part of our service, no matter the size of your project. If we can not save walls, carpeting, or ceilings, we will remove the charred surfaces and debris as part of our service
If the walls, floors, and ceilings are cleanable, we will use appropriate smoke odor neutralizers, degreasers, or chemical sponges to clean them, depending on the finishes.
NEVER eat food exposed to smoke, heat, or soot, including non-perishables. Smoke fumes and firefighting chemicals can be toxic. Additionally, excessive heat can spoil food, even if the container appears undamaged.
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 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 a 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. The wood’s pores open with the heat and then close as it cools, trapping the smoke odor in the wood.
At PuroClean of Matawan, we clean the wood and then use an ozone machine to remove 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 of Matawan. 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.
