Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
Restoring Your Home and Peace of Mind After the Fire Clears
When the flames go out, the real work begins.

At American Water Damage Restoration, we specialize in full-service fire and smoke damage restoration to help homeowners and businesses recover—fast, safely, and completely.
If your property has suffered fire damage, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. We’re here 24/7 with emergency response, certified restoration teams, and compassionate support to get you back on your feet.
Understanding Fire and Smoke Damage
Fire damage encompasses more than just the burned areas. The destruction can be overwhelming and multilayered:
- Flame Damage: Charring and destruction of walls, flooring, ceilings, and personal belongings.
- Smoke and Soot Damage: Tiny acidic particles penetrate everything, from fabrics and insulation to HVAC systems, leaving behind stains, smells, and health hazards.
- Water Damage: Water used to extinguish the fire can saturate your home, creating an additional risk of mold or structural weakening.
- Structural Instability: Heat and fire can compromise the integrity of beams, joists, and support walls—even in areas the fire never visibly touched.
- Toxic Residue: Fire creates harmful chemicals, especially when plastics, paint, or electronics burn. These residues need professional removal.
Our restoration process is designed to address every layer of damage, ensuring your property is not just clean but safe and truly restored.
Common Causes of Fire Damage
Fires can start in seconds from some of the most unexpected sources
Kitchen accidents (grease fires, stove flare-ups)
Electrical malfunctions (outdated wiring, overloaded outlets)
Candle or space heater mishaps
Lightning strikes or storm-related surges
HVAC or dryer vent fires
Wildfires (depending on your region)
Whatever the cause, our team has seen it—and restored it—all.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Comprehensive Fire Damage Restoration
Restoring a fire-damaged property requires experience, precision, and care. At American Water Damage Restoration, we follow a meticulous process designed to restore both your home and your peace of mind.
Emergency Response & Board-Up
We arrive quickly to assess the scene and secure the property by boarding up broken windows, doors, or roof damage. This prevents theft, weather intrusion, and further damage.
Detailed Inspection & Damage Assessment
We perform a top-to-bottom inspection of the entire property using thermal imaging, moisture detection, and structural analysis to determine the full scope of fire, smoke, and water damage.
Water Removal (if needed)
If firefighting efforts left standing water or saturation, we immediately extracted it using high-powered pumps and began drying with industrial-grade dehumidifiers.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
Smoke travels far beyond the fire site, so we go beyond surface cleaning. Using HEPA air scrubbers, thermal fogging, and specialized treatments, we remove smoke and odors from walls, ceilings, vents, furniture, electronics—even personal items.
Debris Removal & Demolition
We remove damaged materials safely and responsibly, ensuring that anything beyond saving is cleared out to make room for new construction. This can include insulation, drywall, cabinetry, and flooring.
Deep Cleaning and Sanitization
Every remaining surface is cleaned and sanitized. We eliminate residue, kill lingering bacteria, and prep for reconstruction. We also offer document recovery, electronics restoration, and contents pack-out for delicate or valuable items.
Structural Repairs and Full Restoration
We don’t just clean up — we rebuild. Our licensed contractors handle everything from drywall and flooring to painting, roofing, and trim work. We manage the entire reconstruction process, so you don’t have to deal with multiple contractors or stress over what comes next.
Why Smoke Damage is So Dangerous
Even small fires can leave behind invisible dangers:
- Toxic soot from burnt plastics, foam, or paint
- Lingering odors absorbed deep into walls, upholstery, and vents
- Respiratory risks for children, seniors, and those with health conditions
- Permanent staining or corrosion if not addressed quickly
We don’t just cover up smoke damage—we eliminate it. Our certified technicians use advanced methods to neutralize threats and fully restore your air quality, safety, and comfort.
Residential & Commercial Fire Restoration
Whether it’s a kitchen fire in your home or a larger commercial property loss, we bring the same level of professionalism and urgency to every job. We’re trusted by:
