Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Palos Heights

Palos Heights fire and smoke damage restoration

When the fire department hands the house back, we take it from there. Burned materials are removed, soot is cleaned from the surfaces that can stay, and HEPA air scrubbers run so the air in the house clears while we work. Water from the hoses is extracted and dried, with readings every day until the house is dry. Smoke odor is handled by removing what absorbed it and sealing what stays, and ONIT Solutions does the rebuild after that.

Palos Heights is on our regular route, off Harlem Avenue, Route 83, 127th Street and Ridgeland Avenue. Carpet and pad hold smoke odor and hose water better than almost anything else in a house, so in rooms the smoke reached they usually come out. Hard floors are a different call: tile and vinyl often clean up, while wood that took water from the hoses gets read for moisture before we decide. Flooring is part of our rebuild work, so new floors are matched to the rooms that did not need them.

The steps of a Palos Heights fire job

First we walk the house with you, and the equipment we plan to set is listed in writing with its daily rate. The estimate is itemized in the pricing format carriers use, and every line has a photo or a reading behind it. If the adjuster wants to see the house, we meet them there, and you get your own copies of everything we send. New findings are priced in writing for your approval, and we wrap up with a walkthrough.
