Mokena fire and smoke restoration

Much of a fire job happens outside the room where the fire was. Smoke spreads soot through the house, and water from firefighting soaks the walls, floors and any level below. We remove what burned, clean the soot off surfaces worth saving with HEPA air scrubbers running, and take out the materials holding the smoke odor so the framing left behind can be sealed. Then we dry the structure, confirm it with moisture readings and rebuild.

We work in Mokena every week, along I-80, Route 30, Wolf Road, LaGrange Road and 191st Street. If the fire in your Mokena home started at the dryer, the laundry room usually takes the heat while smoke moves into the rooms and closets around it. We remove what burned, clean soot from the surrounding rooms and closets, and rebuild the laundry room walls, ceiling and floor. Before a new dryer goes in, the vent run should be smooth metal duct, clear all the way outside, and we check that as part of the rebuild.

What a Mokena fire job looks like

The first visit is a walkthrough with photos, followed by an itemized estimate in the format insurance carriers use. Daily rates for scrubbers, air movers and dehumidifiers are in writing before setup, and the equipment comes out when the readings show dry. You get copies of the photos, readings and estimate.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Mokena: questions

What should I do first after the fire?
Stay out until the fire department says the house is safe. Do not wipe soot from walls or clothes, because it smears. Photograph the rooms and damage, and call your carrier to open the claim.
Does a fire rebuild in Mokena need a permit?
When framing, wiring or plumbing gets replaced, it usually does. We pull the Mokena village permit and handle the inspections. Cleanup and drying usually do not.
How long before the rebuild starts?
It starts when the daily readings show the house is dry and you approve the scope. Then we book the rebuild around the dates we give you.
Do you take fire jobs near Mokena?
Yes, we take them in New Lenox, Frankfort, Orland Park and Homer Glen. Call or text (815) 585-1750.
Who gets the photos and moisture readings?
You do. We send you copies of the photos, the moisture readings and the estimate, the same records the carrier gets.
