Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Naperville

Naperville fire damage: what we remove, what we clean, what we rebuild

Every fire job sorts the house into three piles: what has to come out, what can be cleaned, and what has to be rebuilt. Burned and heat-damaged materials come out first, and soot is cleaned off the walls, ceilings and fixtures that are worth saving. HEPA air scrubbers run the whole time to catch the fine soot the work stirs up. Smoke odor gets handled by removing the materials holding it and sealing the surfaces that stay, and then the rebuild puts back what was lost.

We cover Naperville on both sides of the DuPage and Will county line, from Ogden Avenue down past 75th Street and out along Route 59 and I-88. If your Naperville house is a two-story, heat and smoke from a first-floor fire rise up the stairwell, so the upstairs hallway and bedrooms can take more soot than you would expect. That is why we check the ceilings and upper walls on every floor before we write the scope. A rebuild here runs under a City of Naperville permit when framing, wiring or plumbing gets replaced, and we handle that paperwork.

How we handle a Naperville fire claim

Before anything is set up, you get the daily equipment rates in writing and we photograph every room. The estimate is itemized in the line-by-line format insurance carriers use, and we will meet the adjuster at the house if they want to walk it. Changes, including damage found behind a wall, are priced in writing and approved by you before we do them. At the end we walk the house with you room by room.
