Professional Fire
Damage Restoration
Services
Complete fire, smoke, and soot damage restoration. IICRC-certified technicians respond immediately — securing your property, removing damage, and restoring it to pre-loss condition.
Common Causes of Fire & Smoke Damage
Regardless of how the fire started, the key to minimizing damage is rapid professional response.
Kitchen Fires
Grease and cooking fires are the leading cause of residential fires. Smoke quickly spreads through HVAC systems to unaffected areas.
Electrical Fires
Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and aging electrical panels cause thousands of house fires every year.
Candles & Open Flames
Unattended flames remain one of the most common accidental fire sources in homes and offices.
Smoking Materials
Cigarettes and other smoking materials cause fires with extensive smoke and odor damage throughout the structure.
Heating Equipment
Space heaters, fireplaces, and furnaces can malfunction and ignite nearby combustible materials.
Lightning Strikes
Direct lightning strikes ignite roof structures and attic spaces, often spreading rapidly before detection.
Our Fire Restoration Process
A structured approach from emergency response through final reconstruction — handled by one team, start to finish.
Emergency Contact
Call us immediately after the fire department clears the scene. We respond around the clock.
Property Securing
We board up windows, doors, and damaged roof sections to prevent further weather damage and unauthorized entry.
Damage Assessment
Our team evaluates structural integrity, documents all fire, smoke, and soot damage for your insurance claim.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Systematic cleaning of all surfaces using dry sponges, wet cleaning agents, and HEPA vacuuming.
Odor Elimination
Ozone generators, hydroxyl machines, and thermal fogging neutralize smoke odors at the molecular level.
Full Reconstruction
Structural repairs, drywall, painting, flooring, and all finishes restored to pre-loss condition.
Smoke & Soot
Removal
Soot is acidic and begins etching metal, tile, and glass within hours of a fire. Rapid professional cleaning stops ongoing damage and prevents permanent staining. Our systematic approach covers every surface.
Odor Elimination Technology
Surface cleaning alone can't remove smoke odor. We use molecular-level deodorization to permanently eliminate smoke smell from every area of your property.
Ozone Treatment
Ozone generators produce O₃ which reacts with and neutralizes smoke odor molecules throughout the entire structure — including inside walls and ductwork.
Hydroxyl Generators
Safe for occupied spaces, hydroxyl generators produce the same UV-based deodorization as natural sunlight — without the downtime required for ozone.
Thermal Fogging
Heated deodorizing solution is converted to fine fog that penetrates every surface and void space, mirroring the pathways smoke traveled during the fire.
Air Duct Cleaning
Smoke penetrates HVAC systems instantly. We clean and deodorize all ductwork to prevent ongoing odor recirculation after restoration is complete.

AFTERWhat Our Clients Say
"After our kitchen fire I was devastated. Dry First arrived the next morning, secured the house, and started cleanup immediately. They even packed and cleaned our belongings. I was amazed at how much they saved."
"Grease fire shut us down on a Tuesday. Dry First worked through the week and we reopened the following Monday. Their smoke odor removal was complete — customers noticed nothing."
"Electrical fire in the attic spread to two rooms. Dry First handled the insurance, the demo, and the rebuild. Four months later it looked brand new. Truly excellent from start to finish."
Fire Damage Questions Answered
Not always. Smoke leaves behind toxic residues and structural damage may not be visible. Always wait for the fire department to clear the property, then have a professional assess structural safety before re-entry.
More than you might expect. With professional cleaning, many furniture pieces, electronics, clothing, documents, and personal items can be restored. Ultrasonic cleaning is especially effective on hard-surface items.
Without professional treatment, smoke odor can persist for months or years as it continues to off-gas from porous materials. Our ozone and thermal fogging treatments eliminate the odor at the molecular level permanently.
Yes — fire damage is one of the most consistently covered perils under standard homeowner and commercial property policies. We assist with documentation and can coordinate directly with your insurance company.
For most fire damage, yes — smoke residue and restoration activities make the home unsuitable for occupancy. Many insurance policies include Additional Living Expenses (ALE) coverage for your temporary housing costs.
Immediately. Smoke and soot begin etching surfaces within hours. Acidic smoke residue permanently stains tile grout, metal fixtures, and marble within 72 hours. The sooner cleaning begins, the more can be saved.
