Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Done Right the First Time
After the fire department leaves, a home is left with three problems at once: charred materials, soot and smoke residue on nearly every surface, and water from the hoses soaking walls and floors. Soot is acidic and starts etching glass, metals and finishes within days, so cleaning should begin quickly.
We start by securing the property with board-up and roof tarping, then extract firefighting water and set up drying. Cleaning crews use dry sponges, HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning agents for each type of residue, and odor is treated at the source with thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators or ozone where appropriate.
Napa County has lived through some of the most destructive wildfires in California history, including the Atlas Fire in 2017 and the Glass Fire in 2020. Homes that never burned can still be heavily affected by smoke and ash infiltration, and we clean HVAC systems, attics, insulation and contents to deal with it.
