Fire & smoke restoration

Soot sets. We move first.

After the fire department releases the scene, call Aftermath Restoration Group at (239) 688-2880 for emergency board-up, soot stabilization, contents pack-out, odor removal, and reconstruction. Carriers commonly open a claim the same day.

Do not wipe. Do not paint.

  1. Stay out until the scene is released and the structure is safe.
  2. Photograph rooms as they are. Residue is evidence and a clock.
  3. Do not wipe soot with water or dry rags — that etches finishes.
  4. Do not run HVAC until we inspect the system. It will spread odor.
  5. Call (239) 688-2880 for board-up if openings are unsecured.

What we do on site

Board-up and roof tarp, HEPA and chemical soot cleaning, contents pack-out and off-site cleaning, HVAC wipe-down, and odor work with hydroxyl or ozone only in unoccupied spaces after residue is gone. If a protein fire etched cabinets, they come out. We rebuild the kitchen when the structure is clean — one file, one crew lead.

Common questions

Fire restoration questions

What do I do right after a house fire?
Do not re-enter until the fire department says the scene is safe. Call your insurance company, photograph the damage, and call Aftermath Restoration Group at (239) 688-2880 for board-up, soot stabilization, and contents pack-out. Do not wipe walls. Soot is acidic and etches finishes if it sits.
Can smoke odor be fully removed?
Only if the residue is removed, not masked. The process is structural cleaning, contents cleaning, HVAC cleaning, HEPA filtration, and odor treatment such as thermal fogging or ozone in unoccupied spaces after the source is gone.
Do you rebuild after the fire?
Yes. Aftermath Restoration Group handles stabilization, soot and smoke cleanup, odor removal, and reconstruction back toward pre-loss condition, including trusted repair partners when the scope calls for it.
