Call or text (815) 585-1750 at any hour after fire or smoke damages your Oswego home. We take it from the first cleanup to the last coat of paint.
We start a fire job by removing what the fire and heat destroyed and hauling it away. Next comes soot cleaning on the walls, ceilings and fixtures that can be saved, with HEPA air scrubbers running so the soot stays out of the air. Smoke odor is controlled at the source by removing the materials that absorbed it and sealing the surfaces that remain. The water from firefighting is dried with equipment we check every day, and then we rebuild.
Oswego is on our regular route, in Kendall County along Route 34, Route 71, Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road, with the Fox River running through town. If your Oswego house has an attached garage, a garage fire sends smoke through the door into the house and up into any room built over it. We check those rooms and the attic for soot and odor even when the burn marks stay in the garage. In the rebuild, the wall and ceiling between the garage and the house get the fire-rated drywall that code calls for.

What burned or warped in the fire is torn out and hauled off so cleaning can start.
Saved surfaces are cleaned, starting at the ceilings and working down.
HEPA air scrubbers keep fine soot from settling back on what we just cleaned.
Smoke-filled insulation, carpet and pad come out, and what stays is sealed.
Hose water is extracted and dried, and the readings tell us when the equipment can go.
Framing, insulation, trim and paint go back, with fire-rated drywall between the garage and the house.
We open every job with a walkthrough and photos, and the estimate follows, itemized in the format insurance carriers use. Before the scrubbers and dryers are set up, you have their daily rates in writing. We meet your adjuster at the house if they want to see it, and if their scope misses something, we write a supplement and walk you through it. Every change is approved by you in writing before it is done, and the rebuild ends with a walkthrough.
Reach us at (815) 585-1750 any hour. Text a few photos when the house is clear, and we will tell you what we see.
