Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Joliet

After the fire trucks leave your Joliet house

Our work begins when the fire department hands the house back. We tear out what the fire and heat destroyed, haul off the debris and clean soot from the surfaces that can be saved. HEPA air scrubbers keep the airborne soot down while we work. Odor is controlled by removing the materials that soaked up smoke and sealing what remains, and the water from firefighting is dried before anything new goes in.

We work in Joliet every week, on I-80, I-55, Route 30, Route 53, Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue, on both sides of the Des Plaines River. If your Joliet house still has plaster walls, soot cleaning goes differently than on drywall, because plaster often cleans and seals well where heavily sooted drywall is usually cut out. Where heat cracked the plaster, we patch it or replace it with drywall and skim the walls so the room reads as one surface. Rebuild work that touches framing, wiring or plumbing gets a City of Joliet permit, and we pull it.

Joliet fire jobs, step by step

First comes a walkthrough where we photograph the damage and note what can be cleaned and what has to come out. You get an itemized estimate written in the format insurance carriers use, plus the daily equipment rates in writing before setup. We send you the same photos, moisture readings and estimate the carrier sees. Any change is priced and approved by you in writing before the work happens, and the job closes with a walkthrough of every room.
