What Mount Clemens homeowners get from our fire cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Call our emergency service any time, 24/7, for a home or commercial building, and a crew is generally on site in about an hour. Speed matters, because soot left on chrome faucets, door hinges and light fixtures can begin to pit and discolor the metal within a day or two.
A free inspection of the fire damage
We inspect for free, and that includes any crawl space, where hose water can pool out of sight under the floor. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control, so the smoke damage above gets a full look too.
We work directly with your insurance company
Whoever insures you, we work directly with that insurance company and its adjuster. Adjusters mostly call during the workday, so we take the questions about the structure ourselves, and you don't have to step away from your job to answer them.
We help you get the most from your claim
Insurers sometimes treat smoke damage as a cleaning job when a material can't really be cleaned, such as smoky insulation or a stained acoustic ceiling. We explain why in our documentation and ask for every item your policy allows, though the final number is the insurer's call.
Financing if you need it
The board-up and drying can't wait for an insurer's decision, and that decision can take a while on a large fire. Financing lets the emergency work start right away, and it can also cover your deductible or anything the claim ends up leaving out.

Our fire and smoke damage repair steps in Mount Clemens
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Call our 24/7 line and tell us where you'll be staying and the best number to reach you, since the crew may need your permission to get in while you're away. When the crew arrives, temporary board-ups go over any broken windows and forced doors.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
After a chimney fire, heat can crack the flue liner and scorch the framing against the chimney inside your walls. Our technician checks the walls, ceilings and attic around it for smoke damage, photographs each spot, and suggests having a chimney sweep inspect the flue before its next use.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Charred drywall and soaked insulation come out early as debris, because drying equipment can't reach wet framing through them. Once the studs are open to the air, they dry far faster. Water extraction runs alongside, and an older house's materials may be tested for asbestos first.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Paint rolled over smoke stains often lets the yellow and the odor bleed back through within weeks. Thorough soot removal comes first, and any surface that still holds odor may then be sealed before new paint goes on, so the finish lasts.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our team takes the house from cleanup to reconstruction. Mount Clemens generally requires a city permit for structural repairs, new wiring or a furnace replacement, so the rebuild is planned around those inspections. Our invoice goes to you and the insurer, and we ask the insurer for payment.

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 and soot cleanup in Mount Clemens
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
The fire stayed in one room, so why is there soot all over my Mount Clemens home?
Smoke is a mix of hot gases and tiny particles, and it goes wherever air can: up stairways, through the furnace ducts and under closed doors. The particles cool and stick, often as dark lines along carpet edges or webs in ceiling corners. That residue carries odor too, so the restoration process reaches well past the burned room.
Is cleaning up the fire department's water part of your job in Mount Clemens?
Yes. Hoses put a lot of water into a house, and it soaks into subfloors, insulation and wall cavities that stay wet long after the fire is out. Our water extraction and drying equipment run alongside the soot work, so mold has less chance to start. The water damage usually belongs to the same fire claim, which your adjuster will confirm.
Can you restore the furniture and belongings from our Mount Clemens fire?
We don't. Our work is the building: drywall, ceilings, trim, floors, framing and the cabinets attached to it. Furniture, clothes and electronics need a contents company, and your policy usually covers them in a separate part of the claim. Talk to your adjuster about that early, and photograph and list items before anything is thrown out.
When can we go back inside our Mount Clemens house, and what should we grab?
That's for the fire department or a city building official to decide, not us, and they can keep everyone out if the building, wiring or gas lines are unsafe. If you get a quick trip in, take medicine, eyeglasses, phones, wallets and key documents. Don't turn the power or gas back on, and toss any food that smoke or heat could have reached.
Does a free inspection of my Mount Clemens home start an insurance claim?
No, and it doesn't commit you to anything. The inspection stays between you and us, and you can still hire any contractor you like, whatever names the insurer suggests. Opening a fire claim is the policyholder's decision. Don't hold the board-up or water removal for the adjuster's visit, because waiting can count against you if the damage spreads.
