Why Lake Orion turns to us after a house fire
We're on site in about an hour
You may be calling from a neighbor's kitchen or your car. A person answers our 24/7 line and talks you through the next steps while the crew drives over: stay out, call your insurer, plan where to sleep. Our emergency service covers homes and commercial properties.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free, with no pressure to sign up. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control, and you're welcome to have a family member or friend there with you to ask the questions you might not think of.
We work directly with your insurance company
Our team stays in contact with your adjuster for the whole job. When opening a wall uncovers more damage, we send the insurance company photos, documentation and a revised scope right away, so the added work can be approved without stalling the project.
We help you get the most from your claim
The Orion Township Fire Department covers both the village and the township, and you can request its incident report through the township's online Freedom of Information Act portal. That report, plus our photos, measurements and notes, supports a full insurance claim, though the carrier alone decides what it pays.
Financing if you need it
The insurance check for the house is sometimes made out to you and your mortgage lender together, and the lender may release it in parts. Financing can keep the rebuild moving while those payments clear, and it also covers your deductible or costs your coverage doesn't reach.

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...

Step by step: fire damage repair in Lake Orion, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
A burned house left empty can draw trespassers and thieves after the fire crews leave. Once firefighters hand the property back, our board-up covers broken windows, damaged doors and any wall openings the firefighters made. That keeps weather and people out while the claim gets started.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
If the furnace or air conditioning ran during the fire, it may have pushed smoke through the ducts into every room. Our technician checks the vents for dark rings and residue. Duct cleaning needs its own contractor, so we note what we find for your adjuster.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
In cold weather, with the furnace off after a fire, a house dries slowly, so drying equipment may run with some added heat. We extract the water first, remove what can't be saved as debris, and take readings until the structure is dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Soot removal reaches walls, ceilings, trim, light fixtures and the tops of doors, and deodorizing follows once the residue is gone. Afterward the house is aired out before you move back, so the treatment leaves no smell of its own.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our crew handles the reconstruction, from drywall and paint to flooring and trim. Some materials, like cabinets and windows, can take weeks to arrive, so ordering them early keeps the rebuild moving. You and your insurer get our invoice, and we ask the insurer to pay us directly.

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.

Lake Orion fire and smoke cleanup questions
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
The fire in my Lake Orion home stayed in the garage, so why does the house smell?
Smoke moves wherever air can go, including under the door between the garage and the house, through attic spaces and into air returns. Once it cools, residue sticks to walls, carpet and cabinet interiors, and that residue carries the smell. Our restoration process follows that airflow room by room and treats the smoke damage on every surface it reached.
Is the water from putting out the fire in my Lake Orion home cleaned up as part of the job?
Yes, and it's often the most urgent part. Hose water finds its way into crawl spaces, lower levels and wall cavities, where it causes water damage and mold. We extract and dry it while the fire and smoke cleanup goes on. Whether it sits under the fire claim is up to your adjuster, though it usually does.
Do you restore furniture and personal items after a house fire in Lake Orion?
No. We work on the house, not what's inside it: the framing, walls, floors and fixed cabinets. Clothing, furniture, electronics and keepsakes are cleaned by contents specialists, a separate company, and your claim often pays for them on its own line. Leave everything in place until it's photographed and listed, and raise it in your first call with the adjuster.
When is it safe to go back into my Lake Orion house, and what can I take?
Re-entry is decided by firefighters or building officials, never by us, and a damaged house may stay off-limits for days. If you get a few minutes inside, go straight for prescriptions, eyeglasses, phones, wallets and documents like your passport and insurance policy. Leave the breakers and gas valves alone, and discard any food exposed to heat or smoke.
Does a free inspection of my Lake Orion home file a claim or bind me to your company?
No. The inspection is our free look at the damage, nothing more. Your insurer hears nothing from us, you're free to hire anyone, and only you as the policyholder can open a claim. Get the house secured and dried before the adjuster arrives, since policies require owners to keep damage from spreading.
