Why Madison Heights homeowners trust us with fire damage cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
If the fire hit a rental you own or a house nobody is living in, you don't have to be there for us to secure it. A person answers our 24/7 emergency service line, which covers homes and commercial buildings, and a crew typically pulls up in about an hour.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, certified by the IICRC for fire and smoke restoration and odor control. We show you what we find room by room, including the faint gray film on ceilings that's easy to miss, and answer your questions.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work with any insurance company you have. Instead of waiting on repeat visits, we send your adjuster our photos, notes and measurements of the damage. You get copies of the same documentation, so you, the adjuster and our crew all work from one record.
We help you get the most from your claim
We don't pad a claim. Every item we list is something we found and can show you, which helps the claim hold up. On the structure, we push for everything the policy allows, though nobody can promise what an insurer pays.
Financing if you need it
Sometimes the adjuster's estimate comes in lower than the actual cost of the repair, and sorting out the difference takes time. Financing can carry that gap so the work doesn't stop, and it can cover the deductible or any other cost your coverage won'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...

Our fire damage repair steps for Madison Heights homes
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Call us as soon as everyone is safe, even if fire crews are still there. The city's Fire Prevention Division investigates fires in Madison Heights, so the room where it started may stay off limits until they release it. Meanwhile, a temporary board-up covers broken windows and forced doors.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
On basement walls, the line where hose water stopped shows how high wet drywall and paneling may need to be cut. Our technician marks that line in each room, checks the smoke damage upstairs, and photographs both for the assessment.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Wet, charred materials come out first and leave as debris, with a record of everything removed for your insurance claim. If boxes sit in basement water, move them once it's safe, since wet cardboard wicks water into whatever it touches. Then water extraction and drying equipment go to work.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
In an unfinished basement, the exposed joists and the underside of the floor take smoke directly, and they get the same cleaning and soot removal as finished rooms. Deodorizing follows once the residue is gone, so smell doesn't drift back up through the floor.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Reconstruction is done by our own crew, including drywall, insulation, flooring, trim and paint, so you deal with one company start to finish. Our invoice and records go to both you and your insurance company, along with a request that the insurer 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.

Questions about fire cleanup in Madison Heights
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why is there soot in Madison Heights rooms the fire never reached?
Smoke rides any moving air, and an open stairway or a door left ajar lets it spread fast. Soot particles are fine enough to slip past closed doors and settle as a gray film on walls, blinds and the tops of door frames. Smell often lingers in carpet and drywall even where nothing looks dirty, so our restoration process covers those rooms too.
Does drying out the fire department's water count as part of our Madison Heights fire job?
It does. Water from the hoses seeps into subfloors, wall cavities and the basement, where it can cause warping and water damage if it stays. Our crew handles the extraction and drying alongside the smoke damage and soot work. Most of the time the fire claim covers it too, though your adjuster has the final word.
Can you restore our belongings after a Madison Heights house fire?
No, we don't handle belongings. We restore the structure, such as framing, drywall, ceilings, floors and built-in features. A separate contents company deals with furniture, clothes and electronics, and many policies pay for them under a different section of the claim. Talk to your adjuster about it soon, and photograph items before you throw any away.
When can our family go back into our Madison Heights house, and what can we take?
A fire official or a building inspector makes that decision, not us, and they may keep everyone out until the building, its wiring and the gas lines are checked. On a brief visit, collect medications, glasses, phones, wallets, passports and insurance papers. Don't switch anything on, and throw out food from the kitchen and fridge if heat or smoke got to it.
Does a free inspection of our Madison Heights home file a claim or bind us to you?
No. The inspection itself files nothing with your insurer, and you're under no obligation to hire us. Filing a claim is your decision as the policyholder, and you choose the contractor, even if the insurer names one. Don't hold off on securing the house and removing water while you wait for the adjuster, because the policy expects you to limit further damage.
