Service Overview

How We Approach It

After the fire department leaves, the real work starts. Soot is acidic — it etches into surfaces it sits on. Hours matter. Our North Haledon crew dispatches with HEPA equipment and content-cleaning capacity within the same hour as the call.

What's Included

  • Soot + smoke odor removal
  • HVAC decontamination
  • Pack-out + content cleaning
  • Hydroxyl odor treatment
  • Structural rebuild
  • Insurance-scope documentation

Content Pack-out: When to Move Your Stuff Out

For significant fires, content pack-out is the standard approach. We catalog and box everything in the affected area, transport it to our cleaning facility, sort by material type (washables / dry-clean / electronics / hard surfaces / unsalvageable), clean each appropriately, and store cleaned items in a climate-controlled environment until the property is ready for re-occupancy.

Pack-out has two big benefits beyond the cleaning itself. First: it gets your possessions out of the affected environment so they stop absorbing additional smoke odor while reconstruction runs. Second: every item is documented with a photo + condition note + cleaning result, which becomes the basis for the contents portion of the insurance claim. Items we determine are unsalvageable get documented as such, and the documentation is what supports the claim valuation.

For smaller losses where pack-out is not needed, we clean in place — same standards, same documentation, just performed at the property. Our crew brings cleaning supplies + HEPA equipment + transport bins for items that need shop work.

Smoke Odor: Why Deodorizer Does Not Work

Air freshener, ozone-spray products from the home center, and standard household cleaners do not remove smoke odor. They mask it temporarily. The smoke molecules — many tens of thousands of distinct VOCs depending on what burned — have bonded to porous materials at the molecular level. The odor returns the moment the masking scent fades.

Our protocol uses one or more of: hydroxyl generators (safe to run in occupied spaces, breaks down VOCs at the molecular level over 3-7 days), ozone treatment (occupied spaces evacuated during run, fast-acting, used for severe cases), thermal fogging (penetrates porous materials in the same patterns as the original smoke), and source removal (for materials that cannot be deodorized — insulation, drywall, certain fabrics). Selection depends on the loss type, materials affected, and how quickly the space needs to be re-occupied.

Verification is what closes the loop: we do air quality testing before reconstruction starts. If readings are above baseline, we extend treatment. The structure is not "done" because the visible damage is repaired — it is done when the air reads clean.

Process

Our Process

  1. 01

    Phone Triage

    Real human dispatch from North Haledon. We sort loss type on the first call so the truck arrives equipped for what we are walking into.

  2. 02

    On-site Assessment

    Photos of every wet surface, moisture readings of every substrate, written cause-of-loss narrative, confirmation the source is fully off.

  3. 03

    Containment + Extraction

    Standing water removed first. Affected areas isolated to prevent spread. Damaged porous material cut to documented flood line and bagged for disposal.

  4. 04

    Documented Drying

    Industrial drying equipment sized for the loss volume. Daily moisture readings logged on a building diagram. Equipment runtime tracked for the insurance claim.

  5. 05

    Reconstruction + Walkthrough

    Drywall, flooring, paint, trim — all matched to pre-loss condition. Final walkthrough confirms the work is done before the project closes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see your question, just call or message us.

How long does drying take after a water loss? +

Three to five days for a typical residential water loss. Hardwood floors and dense materials can take longer — sometimes 7-10 days. We monitor with calibrated moisture meters daily and only stop drying when readings return to dry-standard moisture content for the materials in your home.

Will my floors and walls have to come out? +

Often less than people expect. Category-1 (clean supply-line) water that we reach inside 24-48 hours can usually be dried in place. Category-3 (sewage, river, ground intrusion) is different — IICRC S500 protocol requires removing porous materials those waters contacted. We cut to a documented flood line and replace what comes out.

How do you make sure mold does not come back? +

Mold prevention happens during drying, not after. We hold the structure under controlled airflow until moisture meters confirm wood, drywall, and substrate are back inside the manufacturer-approved dry range. Anything porous that absorbed contaminated water comes out. Surfaces receive a registered antimicrobial before reconstruction. We also pull access panels and inspect HVAC ductwork if water tracked into the system.

Are you open weekends and holidays? +

Emergency dispatch is 24/7/365 including all holidays. Reconstruction work and consultations follow business hours but we can adjust for client schedules.

What is the difference between water damage and flood damage? +

Water damage is sudden and accidental — pipe burst, appliance failure, storm intrusion through a damaged roof. Flood damage is rising surface water from outside the structure. Standard homeowners insurance covers water damage. Flood requires separate NFIP flood insurance. We document the source clearly so the right policy pays the claim.

How much does water damage restoration cost? +

A typical North Haledon residential water mitigation runs $3,000-$8,000 depending on loss size and material types affected. Reconstruction adds another $5,000-$30,000 depending on scope. Most jobs are insurance-billed after deductible. We give a realistic estimate after the on-site assessment, not a guess on the phone.

Do I have to leave my home during restoration? +

For most water-damage jobs, no. We work in the affected area while you live in the rest of the home. Cat-3 sewage cleanup requires evacuation of the affected area during the cleanup phase because the work itself aerosolizes pathogens. Major fires often require temporary relocation while smoke + soot are addressed. We discuss displacement on the first call so you can plan.
