Sample job
Last spring we got a call from a homeowner near the outskirts Philadelphia. Kitchen grease fire that spread to upper cabinets, with significant smoke damage throughout the home. Diagnosis: unattended cooking. We soot pre-clean, water extraction from suppression, structural drying, cabinet replacement, thermal fog deodorization, full repaint, ran the test, and were out the door in the same visit. Total: $1820 including parts.
What's typical for this job
Fire damage almost always comes with water damage from the suppression effort. We handle both as a single coordinated restoration.
Soot is acidic and continues to damage materials over weeks if not stabilized fast. We pre-clean affected surfaces within the first 72 hours to lock in restoration potential.
Smoke odor permeates porous materials throughout the building, not just in the fire room. Whole-home thermal fogging and ozone treatment are standard final steps. Sometimes carpet and porous fabrics still need replacement.
Structural drying follows immediately after suppression water — same protocol as standalone water damage.
