All work is done by IICRC‑certified professionals experienced in high-altitude properties, ski lodging, condo communities, and remote mountain homes.

PuroClean Fire Restoration Services Include:

Smoke Odor Removal and Professional Deodorization

We apply advanced deodorization methods—thermal fogging, vapor phase treatments, ozone, or hydroxyl generators—depending on the smoke type and property. These processes penetrate porous materials like upholstery, drapery, and structural surfaces to neutralize odors thoroughly.

Emergency Cleaning & Sanitation

We remove soot, ash, and debris immediately to prevent further penetration and corrosion. Surfaces are cleaned safely and disinfected to reduce health hazards.

Pack-Outs & Contents Cleaning

Our team inventories and carefully removes salvageable belongings for off-site deep cleaning. Items like clothing, electronics, furniture, and valuables are treated in controlled environments using ultrasonic, dry cleaning, or ozone chambers as appropriate.

Temporary Protection/Board-Up

After fire, the exposed exterior, windows, or roof may be vulnerable. We provide boarding, tarping, or structural shielding to prevent weather damage or unauthorized access.

Carpet & Pad Removal

Smoke, soot, and chemical residues often lodge in carpet layers. We remove compromised carpeting and padding carefully to limit cross‑contamination while restoring subfloors.

Puff-Back Cleaning

In ski town condos or mountain cabins, furnace or boiler puff‑backs (oil furnace explosions) can coat interiors with greasy soot. We have specialized dry-cleaning and chemical sprays to tackle these challenging residues safely.

Do’s and Don’ts After a Fire

Fire Damage Restoration Services FAQs

Below are questions typically asked by our PuroClean customers:

What Is Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage refers to structural or material damage caused by smoke, not just fire itself. While fire scorches and destroys, smoke can permeate areas beyond the burn zone:

• Soot deposits on fabrics, plastics, metals, and porous materials
• Odors can linger indefinitely without professional remediation
• Smoke’s chemical residues can accelerate corrosion or discoloration
• Greasy soot is especially aggressive in damaging surfaces and finishes

Smoke damage is often underestimated, especially in mountain homes where insulation layers, wall cavities, and HVAC systems provide hiding places for soot and odor.

What are the Types of Smoke That Cause Damage

• Protein Smoke – Often from kitchen or food-related fires. Extremely pungent, invisible, and stubborn. Usually requires ozone or thermal fogging.
• Dry Smoke – From fires involving wood, paper, or fiber materials. Light and powdery soot; cleaning and filtration may suffice.
• Wet Smoke – Heavier, sticky soot from rubber, oil, or plastics burning. Requires stronger chemical cleaners, gentle agitation, and careful handling to avoid smearing or embedding.

Local Risks and Considerations in the Vail/Eagle/Summit Region

Wildfire & Embers

Although large wildfires are historically rare in the high‑elevation forests around Vail, smaller fires and ember intrusion remain a threat. Eagle County enforces wildfire mitigation requirements and hazard ratings for new structures or modifications.

HOA/Local Permitting

In resort communities, HOAs often regulate exterior materials, color palettes, siding, and landscaping styles. Any repair or rebuild must comply with those as well as architectural guidelines.

Snow, Freeze-Thaw & Structural Stress

Heavy snow loads, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles are real threats in our region. Meltwater infiltration from roof edges and flashing failures often accelerates fire-damaged structure collapse or hidden water damage. High-elevation properties experience deep frost lines, making foundation cracks and soil shifting more common. Restoration must include moisture control, freeze-proofing, and structural stabilization.

Access, Logistics & Response Time

Some mountain parcels are remote; steep terrain or seasonal roads can delay service arrival. Our teams are trained to mobilize quickly, even over mountainous terrain, stock essential equipment, and coordinate with local fire districts for access.
