Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Lead Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Lead, SD insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Lead

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Lead loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Lead permitting.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.

How It Works

Our Guarantee

The Standard We Hold Every Fire Damage Removal Job To

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.

Single Point Of Contact

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Lead fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
