Fire Damage Restoration Kansas City Metro, KS & MO

Soot and smoke odor through the HVAC

Smoke moves through ducts and returns, so rooms far from the fire can carry soot and odor. Cleaning the system and the surfaces it touched is part of getting rid of the smell, not an extra.

Firefighting water in lower levels

Water used to put out a fire drains down to floors and basements, where it soaks drywall, insulation and flooring. We extract and dry it alongside the fire work so mold does not follow the fire.

Storm fires in basements

Lightning started a basement fire in southern Grandview during a summer storm. A basement fire can leave soot, smoke and water in the same space, and each needs its own cleaning method.

The scope depends on what burned, how far the smoke traveled, and how much water was used. Protein residue from a kitchen fire cleans differently from the dry soot of a paper or wood fire, and synthetic materials leave an oily residue that smears if it is handled wrong. We test surfaces before cleaning and write a room-by-room scope for your adjuster.

A small kitchen fire may take a few days of cleaning and deodorization. A larger fire with structural damage moves into demolition and reconstruction, which can take several weeks or more depending on materials and permits. We give you a schedule at each stage and update it as the work progresses.
