A free inspection of the fire damage
A grease fire on the stove can pull flames and residue into the range hood and the duct behind it. Our free inspection follows that duct as far as we can see it. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control.
We work directly with your insurance company
We deal with whatever insurance company you have and keep its adjuster supplied with photos, notes and measurements. When the adjuster has a question, we answer it directly, so you can focus on your family and on where you're staying.
We help you get the most from your claim
Before the claim closes, we compare what the insurer paid with the work actually done on the structure, and point out to you and the adjuster anything that was missed. We push for everything the policy allows, but we can't promise the insurer's answer.
Financing if you need it
When the cause of a fire is still under investigation, an insurer may hold off on paying until it's settled. Financing is available to keep the cleanup and repairs moving in the meantime, or to cover your deductible and repairs the policy leaves out.

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...

How we handle fire and smoke cleanup in Oak Park, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Call our 24/7 line once firefighters hand the house back to you. Broken windows and doors get a board-up right away, including big openings like a sliding patio door or a picture window, which take larger panels, so mention them when you call.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Plaster walls and ceilings soaked by hose water can crack and pull away from the wood strips behind them as they dry. Our technician checks plaster for soft or loose spots along with the smoke damage, and records each room in our documentation with photos.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Hose water drains down, so a finished basement often ends up with wet drywall, carpet and pad. Those come out with the charred debris upstairs, and water extraction and drying equipment start right away. Keep the basement door shut so the damp air doesn't spread upstairs.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
A cleaned patch can look lighter than the wall around it, so cleaning and soot removal cover whole walls and ceilings rather than spots. Deodorizing follows once the residue is gone, and any wall that still looks uneven is noted for paint.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our own crew rebuilds, keeping cleanup and reconstruction under one company. The rebuild usually starts once your insurer approves the estimate, and we tell you as soon as that happens. Our invoice and records go to both you and the insurer, with a request that it 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.

Fire damage cleanup questions from Oak Park
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why can I smell smoke all through my Oak Park house when the fire was in one spot?
Fire heats the air, and hot air expands and pushes into any room with an opening, including closets, crawl spaces and the gaps around recessed lights. Once it cools, that smoky air drops its soot and leaves odor in fabric, carpet, wood and drywall. So smoke damage reaches far past the burned room, and the restoration process has to follow it.
Is drying out the fire department's water at my Oak Park home part of your job?
It is. Water from the hoses travels through floors and down walls into the basement, and wet materials can turn moldy within a day or two. Water extraction and drying run alongside our soot removal and smoke odor treatment. Usually that water damage is covered by the fire claim itself, though your adjuster makes that call.
Do you clean belongings like furniture and clothes after a fire in Oak Park?
No, we restore the structure, not what's inside it. That means walls, ceilings, floors, framing, trim and built-in cabinets. A separate contents company handles furniture, clothing and electronics, and many policies cover belongings in a different section of the insurance claim. Before throwing anything away, take photos and list it for your adjuster.
When can my family go back into our Oak Park home, and what should we take?
Whether the house is safe is decided by the fire crew or a building inspector, and that's never our call. They may keep it closed after damage to the framing, wiring or gas service. If you get a short visit, take medication, glasses, phones, wallets, keys and important papers. Leave the power and gas off, and discard any food heat or smoke may have touched.
If you inspect my Oak Park home, does that start a claim or commit me to you?
No. The inspection is free, doesn't notify your insurer and doesn't bind you to us. You're the policyholder, so filing the claim is your decision, and so is the choice of contractor. Securing the house and removing water shouldn't wait for the adjuster's visit, since your policy requires you to keep the damage from getting worse.
