Hear from Our Customers
You’re looking at soot on every surface, a smell that won’t quit, and water damage from the fire department’s hoses. The insurance adjuster is coming. Your family can’t stay here. You need someone who can document everything correctly the first time and start reversing the damage today.
That’s what fire and smoke restoration actually looks like when it’s done right. We contain the affected areas so smoke and soot don’t migrate into clean rooms. We pull moisture readings, photograph everything, and send you a detailed report within 24 hours—because your claim depends on it. Then we start the work: HEPA filtration to pull particulates out of the air, thermal fogging or ozone treatment for odors, and structural cleaning that removes soot without damaging what’s underneath.
Your insurance company gets documentation they trust. You get a property that doesn’t smell like smoke three months later. And you get updates every 48 hours so you’re never wondering what’s happening or when you can move back in.
We’ve been handling emergency fire damage restoration in Raintown, IN since 2016. We’re IICRC-certified in Water Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, and Applied Microbial Remediation—the credentials your insurance adjuster expects to see. We’re also BBB-accredited and EPA RRP certified where applicable.
When you call our line, a real person answers. Not a voicemail. Not an answering service in another state. We’re on-site in 60 to 90 minutes, and we bring everything needed to start containment, documentation, and mitigation the same day.
Raintown’s older housing stock and seasonal freeze risks mean fire damage rarely comes alone—you’re often dealing with burst pipes, mold risk, or compromised structures. We’ve seen it, documented it, and restored it hundreds of times.
First, we secure the scene and assess what’s salvageable. That means separating contents that can be cleaned from those that can’t, identifying structural damage, and determining whether you’re dealing with just fire and smoke or also water intrusion. We take photos, moisture maps, and notes—all of it goes into your report.
Next, we set up containment barriers and HEPA filtration to keep soot and smoke odor from spreading. If your HVAC system was running during the fire, we’ll inspect the ductwork because smoke travels. We wear shoe covers, protect your unaffected spaces, and treat your property like it’s our own.
Then the restoration work begins. We remove soot from walls, ceilings, and contents using specialized cleaning agents—not household cleaners that can set stains permanently. We address smoke odor with hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, or ozone depending on severity and occupancy. If there’s water damage from firefighting efforts, we extract, dry, and monitor moisture levels until everything hits target ranges.
You’ll get a full walkthrough when we’re done, plus a follow-up call at 14 days. If something doesn’t smell right or look right, we come back. No charge.

Fire restoration isn’t just about cleaning visible soot. Smoke infiltrates porous materials—drywall, insulation, upholstery, even the inside of your cabinets. If it’s not addressed correctly, the odor comes back every time the humidity rises or the heat kicks on.
Our fire damage inspection covers structural cleaning, contents pack-out and storage if needed, odor neutralization, HVAC duct cleaning, and trauma cleanup when the situation calls for it. We also handle the secondary water damage that almost always accompanies fire—because the fire department’s priority is saving lives, not protecting your hardwood floors.
In Raintown, IN, older homes and seasonal temperature swings create additional challenges. Soot settles differently in homes with plaster walls versus drywall. Humidity affects drying times and mold risk. We adjust our protocols based on what your property actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
And because roughly 50% of home fires start in the kitchen and most happen between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., we’re available 24/7. Fires don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
We guarantee on-site arrival within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, any time of day or night. When you call our line, you’ll speak to a real person immediately—not a voicemail system or third-party answering service.
Speed matters in fire restoration because soot becomes harder to remove the longer it sits, smoke odor penetrates deeper into porous materials, and secondary damage from water or humidity gets worse by the hour. The faster we contain the damage and start mitigation, the more of your property we can save and the lower your total restoration cost.
We arrive with containment materials, moisture meters, HEPA filtration, cameras for documentation, and the equipment to begin work immediately. You’ll have a preliminary assessment and photos within hours, followed by a full written report within 24 hours that’s ready to send to your insurance company.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including smoke cleanup, water damage from firefighting efforts, and contents restoration. But coverage depends on your specific policy, deductible, and the cause of the fire.
That’s why we act as your claims liaison. We document everything using the same Xactimate pricing software your insurance adjuster uses, so there’s no disconnect between what we bill and what they expect to pay. We take detailed photos, moisture readings, and notes that satisfy insurance requirements—because a poorly documented claim is the fastest way to get a denial or a lowball settlement.
We’ll walk you through what your adjuster will need, help you understand your sworn proof of loss requirements, and communicate directly with the insurance company if you authorize us to. You’re already dealing with enough stress. Figuring out insurance paperwork shouldn’t be part of it.
Smoke odor removal requires more than air fresheners or surface cleaning. Smoke particles are microscopic and embed themselves in drywall, insulation, ductwork, carpet padding, and anything porous. If you don’t neutralize them at the source, the smell returns.
We use a combination of methods depending on severity. HEPA filtration removes airborne particulates. Thermal fogging uses a heated deodorizing solution that penetrates the same places smoke did. Ozone treatment chemically alters odor molecules, though it requires the space to be unoccupied. Hydroxyl generators are safe for occupied spaces and work well for moderate odors.
We also clean or replace HVAC filters, inspect ductwork for soot contamination, and treat contents separately if needed. Some items—like upholstered furniture or clothing—may require specialized cleaning or ozone chambers. We’ll tell you upfront what’s salvageable and what’s not, so you’re not paying to clean something that will never smell normal again.
Fire damage cleanup means removing soot, debris, and odor so the space is safe and doesn’t smell like smoke. Full fire restoration means bringing your property back to pre-loss condition—repairing or replacing damaged structures, rebuilding what burned, and making it livable again.
We handle the entire mitigation and restoration process: emergency response, damage assessment, contents pack-out, structural cleaning, odor removal, water extraction and drying, mold prevention, and coordination with your insurance. If reconstruction is needed—like replacing drywall, framing, or flooring—we manage that too.
You don’t need to hire three different companies and hope they communicate. We handle it end-to-end, with one point of contact and one timeline. You’ll know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what it costs before the work starts.
Yes. We offer discounts for military personnel, seniors, first responders, teachers, and new customers—but only on non-insurance restoration projects. If your insurance is covering the work, we bill at standard Xactimate rates because that’s what your policy is based on, and discounting can actually create complications with your claim.
For out-of-pocket projects or services not covered by insurance, we’re happy to apply available discounts. Just mention it when you call so we can factor it into your estimate.
Our pricing is transparent and aligned with industry standards. You’ll never see surprise charges or inflated line items designed to pad the bill. We price fairly because we want you to call us again if you ever need water damage mitigation, mold remediation, or any other restoration service down the road.
It depends on the extent of the damage. A small kitchen fire with localized smoke damage might take 3 to 5 days for cleaning, odor treatment, and drying. A whole-home fire with structural damage, water intrusion, and contents loss can take several weeks or even months if reconstruction is involved.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial assessment, and we’ll update you every 48 hours as the work progresses. If something changes—like discovering hidden water damage or mold growth behind a wall—we’ll let you know immediately and explain how it affects the schedule and cost.
Raintown’s climate adds variables. High humidity slows drying times. Cold weather can complicate ventilation and equipment performance. We adjust our approach and equipment based on current conditions, not a generic playbook, so your timeline is as accurate as possible from day one.
