Why Auburn Hills calls us for fire and smoke cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
After the trucks leave, hose water keeps dripping through ceilings and into wall cavities for hours. The sooner extraction starts, the more drywall, trim and subfloor we can save. Our 24/7 emergency service sends a crew in about an hour, to houses and commercial buildings.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control, and we also look for plastic water and drain lines that heat softened inside walls or ceilings, which a plumber should check before the water goes back on.
We work directly with your insurance company
Whichever company carries your policy, we work with it directly. We send our scope, photos and moisture readings to the insurance company ourselves and keep you informed, so you aren't relaying technical details by phone while you deal with the rest of the fire.
We help you get the most from your claim
Firefighting causes damage of its own: forced doors, ceilings pulled down to find hidden flames, walls opened to reach hot spots. It's part of the fire loss, so we list it with the burn and smoke damage. We push for full coverage, though payment is the carrier's call.
Financing if you need it
Coverage limits set years ago may fall short of what a rebuild costs now. If your policy limit doesn't stretch far enough, financing is there for the difference. It can also cover the deductible, or repairs you decide to make that the insurer won't pay for.

Response came out to our house when we had water issues with our attic and potential mold growth. They dispatched a project manager to came out same day and provided advice regarding insurance, let us know what to expect for the work, and sent a crew out the next day. Everything moved quickly and smoothly...

Our fire damage cleanup process in Auburn Hills, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Call our 24/7 line once everyone is safe, and a crew comes as soon as officials let us in. Along with board-ups on broken windows and doors, we cover any hole firefighters cut in a floor or wall, so nobody steps through it.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Lift a picture frame off a smoky wall, and the clean outline behind it shows how much soot settled there. Our technician uses clues like that in every room to judge how heavy the residue is, and photographs each one for your insurance claim.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Broken glass, nails and charred boards come out first, so the crew and anyone else can move through the house safely. Then water extraction and drying equipment go to work, and the burned drywall, insulation and flooring leave as debris.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
After soot removal, smoke-stained hardwood floors can often be sanded and refinished rather than torn out, as long as the boards dried flat. We test how deep the staining goes before deciding, and odor treatment covers the subfloor and the gaps between boards wherever they were exposed.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our reconstruction crew rebuilds what came out, and you and your insurer both receive our invoice and documentation. Before you move back in, follow the Auburn Hills Fire Department's smoke detector advice: a smoke detector in each bedroom, one outside the sleeping area and at least one on every floor.

Wonderful experience during such a stressful time. They came out immediately, the employees were extremely polite and respectful, and kept me updated every step of the way. They also helped guide me through the insurance claims process which seemed overwhelming at first. I would definitely recommend.

Questions about house fire cleanup in Auburn Hills
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
My Auburn Hills kitchen fire was small, so why do the bedrooms smell?
Smoke is lighter than air and spreads fast, following hallways, stairwells and air returns into rooms far from the stove. As it cools, an oily film of soot coats walls, closets and fabric, and that film carries the odor. Our restoration process reaches every room the smoke did, because cleaning only the kitchen leaves the smell behind.
Who takes care of the water left after firefighters put out a fire in my Auburn Hills home?
We do; it's the same job to us. Hose water can soak carpet, drywall and insulation and often seeps into lower floors. If it isn't removed and dried quickly, it causes water damage and mold. That cleanup is usually covered under the fire claim rather than a separate water claim, but your adjuster confirms it.
Will you clean our couch, clothes and electronics after a fire in Auburn Hills?
No. We restore the house itself, from the framing and subfloor to the paint on the walls. Your belongings need a separate contents company, and your policy often pays for them in a different section of the claim. Before you throw anything out, take photos and make a list, then ask your adjuster how to proceed.
When can we safely return to our Auburn Hills house after the fire?
That's decided by the fire department or the city's building official, not us, and an unsafe structure or damaged wiring can keep the house closed. If you're cleared to enter for a few minutes, take prescriptions, glasses, phones, IDs and key documents. Don't touch the power or gas, and toss food from the fridge and pantry if heat or smoke got to it.
If you inspect my Auburn Hills home, have I started a claim or agreed to hire you?
No to both. The inspection is free, we report nothing to your insurer, and you're under no obligation. Filing the claim is your decision as the policyholder, and you choose who does the work even if the insurance company recommends a contractor. Don't hold off on board-ups and water removal while waiting for the adjuster.
